re: GQ's article on leather jackets, to be found here:

While I generally agree with the points outlined, I also find it insanely hard to take any advice given by a magazine that seems to think that elastic fabric at the waist of a biker jacket is a good thing*. It does not make me think, "Oh, how sexy." It instead makes me wonder what sort of sissy wimp needs the soft, cushy support of fabric on a LEATHER JACKET.

And another, though less pressing nitpick: Brown bomber jackets CAN look good. You just have to get one that's actually cut correctly and possibly made before 1980. (._.)/

*Note -- elasticized leather is okay.

YES. I was clicking through the slide show and kept on thinking, "There's something not quite right here, but I'm not sure what." That's it!

And ditto on brown bomber jackets.

(Why did reading this feel like reading something written by Percy?)
