Title: The Jacket...

So about 2 weeks ago I see this jacket come up in my Facebook feed and I fell in love with it. As time went by I started obsessing about wanting to buy the jacket. Its only $90.00 which is a great price!
So yesterday I said to my wife I really want to order that jacket!
So as I got home from work my 19 year daughter and my wife sat me down to give me a harsh dose of reality...
My daughter Bri says...
"Dad I hate to say this to you and please don't take it the wrong way but that jacket is just too cool for you. Its an awesome jacket but I don't don't thinks its age appropriate for you. You are 55. Its more a jacket for someone who is 27. I just don't you can pull it off. Sorry."

My wife says, sorry honey I agree.

So...
That was tough to swallow. I'm older maybe I'm not seeing it the way I should?
Thoughts?

Tell them it's  how it will make you feel and isn't that important?

I now feel self conscious about it. Now I am thinking, well perhaps they are right? I thought of it as an awesome jacket and now something I can't pull off.

Its brutal that at 55 I have to look at something like that jacket in that way. Or maybe they are off? Who knows, but at this point even though I was told, "if you really want it get it"
I feel like I don't want to anymore.

I pull a Cartman and say, "SCREW YOU, I DO WHAT I WAAANT!!!!" 

I'm 50, and reading that it's not age appropriate just makes me want it more.   I'll wear it with my Utilikilt!!

Well this is me still fronting my band Empires Past just 2 weeks ago and kicking ass with our all original music project. So I don't think I'm uncool. But my self esteem took a hit so perhaps I'm not as cool as I think I am.

Bought a new leather jacket this autumn that was not like this one but also cool looking. Makes me feel good to wear it so why not this jacket for you.

If it fits your size, go for it. Induments cool enough like that work fine on everyone. Heck, I just turned 40 and this is the gift I received:

And I can't wait for the next concert to wear them  :metal

What else is family for?  :)

I've had that conversation as well, and largely the fam is right.  I make up for it in other ways, but I do think my fashion days are over. That they are right doesn't mean I won't wear it though.

That's what I'm saying.  It would be downright cruel to sit you down and say this and then buy it for you.  And not to mention a complete mindfuck that would make you self conscious if you even tried to wear it.
Title: Re: The Jacket...

Cruel from his wife and daughter?

If so, they think they are being honest. I was in the Other Banks 5 years ago.  I rented a bike and rode it like a 15 year old.  My weight said otherwise.   I got 2 flats. It was a sign.  Lol.


Still, I did it and I had fun.  It's up to Rich to make himself happy.

Honestly, I don't think there's anything wrong with the jacket. I mean, I'd turn the collar down. It may be a ruse by the fam to surprise Tick. Maybe they're jealous. One day ..jacket. The next day..20 y/o bimbo.  :lol

I think I'd need more info on how that conversation actually went.

I don't get the cruel thing.  Maybe it's my family, but I love my wife and my kid, and vice versa (I think), but they wouldn't hesitate even for a second to say "Yo, grampa, that jacket ain't for you."  My kid debated getting me a can of tennis balls for my fiftieth, on the rationale that I would need them for the inevitable walker.

Them telling him he is too old for the jacket isn't cruel, but saying that and then buying the jacket is what I mean.  I guess you wouldn't think about it again if they purchased the jacket, but saying that reason for not getting the jacket as a lie to get him off the trail to surprise him just seems like something that would hit home regardless.  Dunno, I'm probably thinking too much into it.

I think you should dress your age to appease your wife and daughter. Get some pants that you can hike up to your armpits. After dressing like that for a week then bring up the jacket again. Maybe it won't look so bad.

I used to be a fashion photographer for some top brands back in the day. I’ve met and worked with a lot of people you wouldn’t believe, and most of them were eager to share their opinions, which were often bizarre. One of the things I’ve learned is there aren’t very many rules, and most of the archaic guidelines are ignored. If I was still in the field and we were friends and I magically put you, your wife, and your daughter in a room filled with super models like Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, and a handful of others in the fashion world and they over heard that discussion? Well, it would be a unanimous rebuttal explaining how they’re wrong, and they’d all say in unison “Buy the fucking jacket!”

It’s not a toddlers onesie, it’s a jacket. Wear it and enjoy it!  :hat

Trust me my wife and daughter would not play a game like that. My daughter was giving her honest opinion. That being said they said  if you want it go for it.

Guaran-mother-fucking-teed if you told your wife that a piece of clothing she wanted to wear wasn't appropriate for her, in your opinion, you'd be in some serious shit and be met with "What do you know about women's clothing"?

I mean, I don't know your wife, but I suspect that would be a pretty standard response from any woman who was given the same "dose of reality" that you were given.

So...
That was tough to swallow. I'm older maybe I'm not seeing it the way I should?

I was trying to be funny.  Like if my spouse and kid told me I looked ridiculous in something, I'd wear it just to make THEM uncomfortable.

Honestly, it would depend on how it looked on.  And how you feel when you wear it.  If you like how it looks and how it makes you feel, then who cares what anyone else thinks?  As long it doesn't say "Members Only" on it.   :D

I guess I don't really buy into the whole "You're too old for <insert something>"  It's just fashion choices.  I see what young people are wearing (nothing matches!) these days and I shake my head.  But who am I to judge really?  Wear what you want to wear.  Own your choice.  Perhaps if it works out for you, the wife and the daughter will see that you being confident wearing it makes all the difference in how they see it.

Dude!  No, they aren't seeing it the way they should.  If you like something then buy it.  Doesn't matter how old you are.  Doesn't matter what other people say, even your own family.  What do they know about men's jackets anyway?  Maybe if they actually saw you wearing it, they would understand.  I think it's a damn cool jacket and I'm surprised it's only $90.  Go for it!

:lol true
Tbh I didn't realize it was leather at first (I thought it was one of those half-denim things with the cloth collar) but I still stand by that opinion. I'm also a big thrift store person and got my most amazing leather biker jacket for $25, so I'm biased about paying full price for that kind of stuff most of the time.

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages....
I BOUGHT THE FUCKING JACKET!!! :metal :lol

And I had a promo code so I get to be too cool for school for only $76.49

I had to do it. Thank you DTF for without you I likely would have passed on it. But cool or not cool I will not live with the regret of not owning, "The Jacket"

I give you....The Tick!

Guaran-mother-fucking-teed if you told your wife that a piece of clothing she wanted to wear wasn't appropriate for her, in your opinion, you'd be in some serious shit and be met with "What do you know about women's clothing"?

I get the question all the time from my wife "What do you think of this outfit/shirt/dress?" I have found the best. most tactful, answer when I don't care for something is along the lines of "That isn't really you," followed up with, "I think this other outfit/shirt/dress looks better on you, it is more your style."

Post by: Tick on January 13, 2020, 09:52:50 AM
So thanks for the kind words folks! I really do dig this jacket. Well worth the 75 bucks. I seem to get a lot of looks when I'm out and about. People thinking...."Woah, killer jacket dude :hefdaddy"
 :lol
As far as my wife and daughter. My wife just smiled at me the first time I put it on. I think she like it and wants to jump my bones when I'm wearing it! :rollin

My daughter has not even seen me wear it, and has said nothing about it since it arrived. She just can't accept me as being cool in anyway. I'm her dad she lives to pick on. Not my jacket or my band. Secretly I think she appreciates me as the singer in my band and is amazed I can still bring it like I do at age 55.
