Goodbye old friend (don't worry, it's just clothes) (makeover!)

[andygates]

My old leather jacket was pretty past-it.  The sleeves were busted up the seams and had blown across the back as if I'd Hulked out.  The zips were broken or stuck.  A shoulder pad was flapping off like a broken wing.  And all the pockets were collections of holes.  So I took it to the Nice Repair Lady.

The Nice Repair Lady recoiled in horror.

It's time for a Viking funeral and a new look.

What's in this season?  ;)

Long coat + bicycles = hilarious fail. Been there, done that. :)
