It seems the outliers, the goons, the nerds, the outcasts are you heroes.

As long as they don't trip on them, that is. Then, who gives a gently caress?

Could you imagine wearing like one of the first actual trench coats, like in a trench surrounded by the mud and decay and disease and shelling and snipers ...

Like even sleeping would be a terror, what with the constant threat of dudes coming in and killing you with grenades or slitting your throat

A few months ago I saw a couple dudes walking by in leather trench coats, then days later I saw a lonesome looking guy with one at a bus stop. Years before that I spoke to a guy wearing one who said he got it cheap from a charity shop. It's like it's own subculture for people too poor, naive or uninterested in fashion to get the obligatory red trainers and tight jeans or sweatpants; which is a shame because these guys might get a chance with cool girls if they gave them the impression of having hot feet with some red hot trainers.

My theory is that once you join the club of leather trench coat wearers and get noticed; maybe pass a litmus test, then you're set to become part of a tight social network, sort of like the freemasons, but more of a calling and self-selective.

Every dorky American boy must go through a phase where he tries to pull off a duster or a trenchcoat. If he succeeds and realizes it will never loving work, he has become a man.

The Burburry trench looks good but you have to be a twig to pull it off.
