Funny story.
My old buoy tender (big ass boat) made an unscheduled stop in Chicago one winter and not thinking we'd be hitting anywhere with a decent nightlife, I didn't pack any good clothes (when we knew we were pulling into decent ports, I packed better threads)
Long story short, I was wearing my running shoes, jeans, long sleeve t shirt and my black Carhartt work jacket, walked into a popular downtown piano bar, and was instantly fell upon by 5 good looking city chicks who apparently had a thing for men in Carhartts (thinking I was some kind of country boy). I played it up and entertained (I'm married) and introduced them to the next 5 single guys from my boat who walked in (4 of them were wearing the same black Carhartt jacket i was one or two were actual country boys southern accent and all). Several of those bastards got taken home.
Moral of story
Some women want men that look and dress like men
Dude this is very true. I just bought a similar style jacket from Sears. Not only did my girlfriend go ape shit the first time I wore it, but my buddies girlfriends all commented on how much they liked it. It completely changed my appearance from baby faced 20 something year old to Wolverine bursting out of the barn on that motorcycle. I look like I should be throwing hay bails out of the back of a Silverado in a Chevy commercial when I'm wearing it.
