The leather jacket: about as essential as a black dress, as critical as a tattoo.  I’ve had my current one since I was 18; I told my parents, “I’m eighteen, I want a real leather jacket”.  They got me this buttery, hooded piece from DKNY.  But i’m starting to feel like I need something an update. 

So I’ve been in pursuit.  The search, difficult; the prices, painful.  This will be MY first leather jacket, one that I have purchased on my own.  

CRIMONY! I AM AN ADULT!
