(I) WALK THE LINE...

Blue-Collar clothes are like good COMFORT FOOD on a Sunday afternoon...

.. we are NOT talking AFTER CHURCH Brunch because that means usually getting dressed up.... I mean that comfortable pair of thick (hiking socks), your FAV pair of jeans, nice boots for the Fall rain, and a jacket that is ALL YOU!

My Choice... the vintage Railroad engineer jacket. An unlikely choice but hear me out...

WAY BACK in the day, the coolest job a young man could have was being a locomotive or railroad engineer and an honest day's work meant "walking the line" of iron. Rain, snow, or whatever... if it needed to come through inland, bet your a$$ these MEN were hauling it.

I LOVE THAT - Honest clothes for honest living... I use to hit the local workmans' outlet shops to look for clothes on the CHEAP and that was different than the rest.

If you come across what you think is a Vintage Railroad jackets,

look for these features to be sure:

• 3 pocket design with 2 lower (large) patch pockets and single left side upper watch pocket with side entry

• Some have a pencil slot and/or change buttons

• If you are lucky, the patina (wear & tear of the material

• Denim or seersucker material (or likely denim to stand the test of time)

I also love the deep pockets for my keys and Cell. (I still need my Tote sometimes for the other gear that I need (iPad, billfold, etc)

JUST SAYIN'....!
