When I was 21, a girlfriend gave me my first real leather jacket (she had money, I didn’t). It’s hanging in my closet down the hall — Crass logo spray painted on the back and a phalanx of buttons (Germs, X, GBH, etc) on the lapels. Being a designer, my jacket is kinda slick, but I love the folk roughness of these. Too bad alt-fashion bullshit is so boring today in comparison.
