Leather jacket for about $5 at the thrift store. It really looks *sharp* on G and he has gotten a lot of compliments at school. Yes, it is missing a button, but it's otherwise in excellent condition and is old enough to be back in fashion again. This leather is super-soft, too. D bought it to tear up and make little projects out of, but G is giving it some new life. I wish, with the negative temperatures out there, that he did not go out to the bus stop to wait just as you see him here. Apparently wearing a hat or jacket/ being sensible is very out of fashion.

The Look.

Look Out, Dad!!
My father is the purple dot above the blue weather station. He's juuust outside Milton's evacuation zone. Well! My brother and I jus...
What a handsome fellow. Too cool to smile.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest insisted on going to school year round in t-shirts and hoodies. We went round and round, until his dad suggested that I simply let him work it out for himself. I waited. I just waited for him to get sick so I could prove my point (lovingly of course).
He then single-handedly proved what medical science already knew--that one does not get sick from not dressing warmly enough. He was sick exactly twice. :)
Great jacket!
ReplyDeleteUh, how come G looks so grown up? When I started reading your blog he looked like a child and not a young man. Really, time is moving to fast.
Very cool G! Love the stance, what a guy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome guy! It blows my mind to think that my oldest boy will be that old, and that grown up looking, in a few years.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me what to do with teenage boys. No wait. I don't think I'm ready!
Very handsome!
ReplyDelete"Sharp".. that's exactly the word that came to my mind when I saw his picture! He looks great! How awesome that he's getting compliments at school too!
ReplyDeleteDude... I was never that cool!

Wow! He looks so nice in it. The hairstyle looks nice on him too! I haven't been by in awhile, but now that we have a computer again I hope to be by more often.
ReplyDeleteWow, he's getting tall
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm huge on thrift stores. The other day I finally found black and also white dress shoes for my girls and they were in perfect condition.
ReplyDeleteVery cool jacket and I love that color!
ReplyDeleteOff topic.....
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across an article today that just sounds like it needs a good ol' fashioned Mrs. C rant!

Now I wished I saved my leather jacket for my boys. I gave it to Goodwill before I had kids.
