I do wear T shirts most all the time. To reconcile this
painful truth I tell myself that most of these shirts are pocket Ts rather than
undershirts, and that because they have no visible logos or messages printed on
them this somehow makes it all okay.
So when I leave the Blog Cave I usually need to wear
something extra as I live in a temperate climate. The above canvas jacket is my
go-to for much of the random activity I pursue around Portland. Inside pockets allow the phone to be handy
without breaking the clean lines of the jacket’s cut. With my jacket worn over a black
crew-neck shirt or sweater, I feel ready for the cameras to pull in tight to
let the monologue begin.
This feeling is enhanced when I smoke Gauloises in my
imagination. I inhale deeply with a
pensive look to the sun setting over the Mediterranean, before gently releasing
the breath and realizing I’ve spilled
Earl Grey on myself again.
Like all clothing in this series, casual is king. The jacket
imbues the functionality of a traditional sport coat with an energetic
modernism.
That and it was on sale at The Gap sometime in the last
decade. At least I’m not wearing a mullet ironically.
