So, on my first tentative day back at my *other* work I arrived to find a UPS Parcel sitting on my desk. For someone who lives in NZ, parcels from other countries are QUITE exciting!

Unfortunately being weak like a kitten prevented me from ripping it open right then and there (I had to ask for help – siigh!) but once I did get into it I was greeted with the iconic Sailor Jerry wrapping paper. And then I saw the jacket I’d been lusting over for the last year or so.

As the site said:
These ass-whupping jackets look gorgeous coming and going. They look good on a gusty day when your hair is blowing back. They look good in shitty, beer-stinky clubs (especially if you’re in the band). They even look lovely when you’re pissed off and saying ugly shit you’ll regret later. They are made of 100% cotton. With serious Sailor Jerry art big and bold on the back. The pockets are perfect for smokes, lipstick, razors, whatever you’re packing these days. Made in collaboration with Alpha Industries in Knoxville, Tennessee .

And they were so fucking right – this jacket is THE SHIT! And as this item is now discontinued, I got mine just in the nick of time. There is nothing like mail and new clothes to make a girl feel better about returning to work – Hurrah!
