jacket

howzit

there is a general tendency for things to happen to me, or rather me be in circumstances that i did not expect. often this stems from default rather than design, look you see, but it is not to say i am adverse to going all full tilt "yolo", or having a go. such is how i seem to be spending a good deal more time down in the south (or southern area) of our lands than i had anticipated. 

a continuance, or maybe consequence, of this is me, moi, finding myself in more hotels than what i thought i would. perhaps this is common sense to some degree, for where else would i dwell when so far away from home, or if you will my place of exile? 

in one particular hotel, which was rather posh, i was for some reason quite taken with the grand, glorious nature of the "open wardrobe" thing what blessed my room. a place to hang garments, or what have you, for certain purposes. for some reason, and no reason explicitly beyond that which has seen me post all sorts of things here, i thought a partial niche audience here may wish to see my infamous jacket hanging in such a fine structure, useful of purpose and magnificent to look at as it is. 

certainly, this is the jacket. it fasts approaches a period measured as ten (10) years that i have been the proud custodian of it. for clarity, or if you are not a regular reader and are unaware, it is so that the jacket you see is of a distinct provenance. it was obtained for me by my mate Zama, off of the back of Jozi (Johannesburg) taxi rank, for a modest fee. assurances at the time were provided, by Zama, that not only was it "100% legit and genuine" a Levi jacket, but also it would be "perfect" for those English winters and all that snow stuff he had heard of yet, tellingly, never experienced directly. a cloud of question has hung over those statements ever since, but that makes life interesting. 

how happy am i with the way in which these images have come out, presented as they are in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode? partially. of course the jacket looks great, even if it isn't quite up to the task of defending one against (the impending) snow, but i rather suspect this sequence of images does not show off the true magnificence of its surroundings. maybe chance shall permit me to take further pictures of it; this would depend on where i end up next. 

right, well, there we go. anyone interested in Commodore 64 style images of (possibly) bootleg jackets that are not particularly all that much use in snow will, i trust, be satisfied with this. for me, now it is a point at which i must consider selecting garments to take with me for further travels. yes, for luck, good fortune and sentiment, the jacket shall travel with me. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
