Helmut Lang Wool Jersey Jacket in Gray
Wanting:
Remember that after snagging this Helmut Lang wool jersey jacket in black, I was hunting for it in gray?
Found it. Want it.
What’s that? But every jacket or coat I already own has a drapey shawl collar and wraps to close? And is in some shade of stone, to complement some beat canvas and leather Hermes bag I’m toting? And don’t I ever get bored always wearing a stack of Love bracelets and a gold President and a pinkie ring on my left hand?
Variety is the spice of life and a bored married man’s pants, not my wardrobe…
Helmut Lang Merino Wool Sweater Jacket
Wearing:
I first saw this Helmut Lang merino wool sweater jacket in London, at Harvey Nichols. And I glanced and glossed on — for its price, I could just have another shawl-collar, wrap coat made.
But a week later while I was in New York I popped into Helmut Lang’s Soho boutique to try it on — and the Helmut Lang jersey jacket fit so simply and beautifully. I bought it in black, and I’m hunting for it in seal gray.
Passing over a custom, hand-made in America coat for raw-edged wool jersey pieced together in China? I guess that means the terrorists are winning, but the important thing is that I’m comfortable.
That’s real American spirit…
