I Wore This Jacket to Death. Now It's Even Better.

I BOUGHT THIS CARHARTT JACKET VINTAGE on eBay for $39. It already had some great whiskering at the elbows and this nice all-over fade, but when I got it, I put the pedal down. I just absolutely wore it to death. Now the cuffs are torn, the collar is torn, it's coming apart at the seams—and it's better as a result.
