What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

It's 3°C outside, "the foie gras" and white pudding are digested before starting to eat again in a few minutes, the right time to go outside to try for the first time my recently acquired B-3 (the one that is 30 years old but never worn).
Just a henley underneath and I take 4 hats for testing...
I think the best is the khaki commando hat!

"Bon appétit" and Merry Christmas!

Look at that beautiful proportional collar and the short fur on the cuffs Very nice B3! Also the subtle difference between the leather pieces and the sheepskin. That is one beautiful jacket- why are those features so hard to emulate today?" The collar especially is spot on.

By the way, I painted that painting on the wall. Long time ago though when I was a teenager. I did go to art school but I have not made any money on art. Which generally happens in the art world. I've been to art school for 3 years. I drive a bus now.

"The World's Most Useless Degree" as they say on Venture Brothers! I have one too- an instant ticket to a career in construction which I actually enjoyed! I made maybe $2000 with my art- and now I hate art- at least a practiced in our modern world. Very silly.

I can still make a leather squadron patch or an embroidery one if I have to.

I know a number of folks with art degrees who have done incredibly well. They say their college art connections helped the get their first art gigs.

 

[Spitfireace]

I failed apparently.

 

[Spitfireace]

I should have gone to London in early eighties. That would have been the best. No I failed. I was around twenty and I didn't know.

Reminds me of the art that is stuck in my closets. I have some on the wall. The larger pieces are on the wall.

Beautiful! Here's one of my 1980s blood chits which recently appeared on a Japanese Ebay sale for a lot of money. I'm positive it's mine- the eBay photos show things which make me sure.

I drive a bus now.

Me too. And I love this job!

was somebody trying to fob it off as an original? It looks pretty legit.

Won't say I feel guilty, but I'm sorry for you guys. My Bachelor of Fine Arts afforded me 30 years of steady employment in graphics (including illustration), marketing, and printing. Saved me from the law enforcement direction I was headed in and has led me to an early retirement (with my wife's contribution, of course).

I may not be lining up for 4 new GWs and some vintage watches or vehicles, but I have no regrets and feel pretty comfortable these days.

See! It was possible! But I got a BFA from... Cornell! 12 graudates in my class and the most Ivory Tower eduacation possible. Really it was just an excuse to drink and chase women- a lot of fun but unlike you I was too lazy to pursue it. Congrats! Sincerely!
