If you figure out your sizes it’s a good excuse to go on thrift shop dates. Girls love that stuff. If you aren’t fat, then there’s often good stuff out there in M/L sizes. Then you get a head start on something w/ history in it.

I’m a little bummed I had to divest one of my prizes: We have a handmade deerskin jacket made by ggrandma a long time ago, made for her son when he wanted a cool james dean piece but they were too poor for one. It’s a real sweet piece, but sized for a 50’s teen so it has to wander through the family tree to whomever it fits at the time. If it were up to me I’d keep it, but without kids to hand it down to I couldn’t hang on to it.

Kinda bummed because it’s a v. cute chick jacket, but that didn’t occur to me at the time.
