{     MISHKA Older Brother's Jean Jacket     }    

Ah, Fall. The trees shake out their leaves, the sun falls early in the evening, the nights get brisk, and it's time to throw on another layer or two. One of the staples of every fall wardrobe is always the jean jacket, and this year the mighty bears at Mishka NYC have brought the denim like no other with their new 'Older Brother's Jean Jacket'. It's got the thick comfy collar, Mishka buttons, Mishka badges, a stoner-rock patch on the front chest, and to top it off the back has an ol'school giant patch featuring the 'Rasputin' image from their fall tee line - just like the Motleyest of Ratt Mega-JudasTendencies jean jackets of yore. And yeah, it's painted by the same dude who made the Iron Maiden album covers. Let me repeat that: it's painted by the same dude who made the Iron Maiden album covers. Just for Mishka. Yeah, they're like that now.

You can find it for sale on Krudmart, whom put it best when they say: "Cigarette smell not included." $150 may be steep, but the details are spot-on (pink contrast stitch on one button, purple Levi-esque tag on front, and on and on), and fuck all, it's called the 'Older Brother's Jean Jacket' - isn't that nearly enough right there?!?!
