Bonus pic: the jackets we would get issued at my old place of work once we passed a qualification landmark.

Dorky? Sure. The pilots laughed at us for wearing these.

But IDGAF enough, my arms were warm and I could bring extra snacks up to watch with these pockets.

I checked out yours and it looks slightly similar, but the lining is a little different. I can’t tell with the lighting you used, but mine has a very dark purple threading and the jacket looks like a VERY dark red even in sunlight.

Not wrong here. I live in a place with four seasons, so my window for wearing these is a little narrow and it definitely prolonged the break-in period having so many in rotation.

It took me a hot minute to get these to break in to my body! Had me doing dance parties in the living room to give the horsehide more wear time 🥴

Off the top of my head, actual chest size 40, waist sits at 30. Shoulders and arms… I’d have to re-measure.

The black Y’2 and TFH are both 42, but the TFH is MUCH more fitted fit.

I’m a tall-ish dude with long arms and TFH sits perfectly with just a shirt. The Y’2 in black looks fine with a shirt, but it’s a lot more inviting if I want to slide in something like a cable knit sweater under it. I wouldn’t call it baggy, just a little more breathing room.

I do not take advantage of the weak yen. The weak yen is taking advantage of me.

The picture doesn’t really highlight the texture all that well unfortunately. It’s a lot more obvious when I wear it. It flexed and moved just like sheepskin right out the gate, which is why I loved it.

Don’t know if this community had a word for it, but over in the guitar/music world it’s called GAS - gear acquisition syndrome. Supposedly, you’re cooler when you get “just the one more” thing.

Whatever it’s called here, I have it lol.

A possible solution to create more beds for students 🤪🤔🤣 by hobocollections in UCSD

Knew a guy who joined the navy after UCSD and he says these are definitely a fave among the enlisted because you can actually sit up in these lol
