Vegan Leather Varsity Jacket and Musings About the Captain of the Footbal Team Fantasy

I can no longer be silent.

I have to blog again.

This time with a cool NON LEATHER jacket I saw in URBAN OUTFITTERS. Men’s dept.

This jacket is ideal, extremely cool. It made me think of Dawson’s Creek for some unknown reason. Definitely a fall in New England vibe.

It’s so cool, but it’s so hot here I decided not to get it. However I want to own this baby.

This reminds me of the kind of thing your jock boyfriend would give you to wear, like if he was captain of the football team.

Since I was such a not nerd, but “loner” in high school, things like the “captain of the football team” hold a lot of …i don’t know…magic for me. I was never popular. It would have been inconceivable for me to date the captain of the football team…but just maybe…it could have happened! in an alternate universe. Where he saw something in me… oh well, it never happened.

Later in life, I did actually date 2 captains of the football team. Not to be RUDE, but it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

However, the fantasy remains….

fall. new england.

bleachers. grass.

night. lights on the field.

a chill in the air.

a big athletic teenager, who seems otherworldy in his coolness.

A varsity jacket. “Are you cold? Here, wear my jacket. Keep it…”

The stuff of Dawson’s Creek–though I’ve only seen 1 ep.

You can buy this varsity jacket made out of brown and blue VEGAN pleathers here “OBEY Varsity II Jacket“.

It looks way better in person, too. I’d get it in a L so it looks like you borrowed it. Cause I’m VEIRD that way.

A Patriotic Shoe for Vegans: Jelly Sandals

I have a great  tip for y’all on some hot new kicks that have recently dropped.

Jellies.

I vividly remember having tiny jellies embedded with mysterious sparkles when I was about 3-4.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

You know, that french proverb has got me thinking. I think Jellies can be seen as a kind of patriotic shoe for vegans and vegetarians. Since they are 100% rubber, they say I Wear No Leather in a way fake leather shoes cannot.

It reminds me of the odd attire people wore during the french revolution. Was it red shirts? red caps? Sans Culottes?

Tell me in the comments.

And now.

I give you …..
