## a story
|
||||
|
||||
i recieved my favourite jacket for my thirteenth birthday. it was a semi-cheap fake leather jacket from a surf shop - which, for whatever reason, was the best place to get a fake leather jacket in my country in the years of 2010-2011 only. i am unsure why.
|
||||
|
||||
the important thing about the jacket, among other things, was that it was symmetrical (aside from a single, badly placed pocket on the left breast) - the importantance of this will be made clear by the end of this post.
|
||||
|
||||
i wore this jacket for many many years until the fake leather began to completely chip away and i was forced to purchase a new jacket, and, having now my own salary, went for something a bit nicer. thats right, this new jacket had the following features that to my bogan mind were absolutely ***fizzityucking stellar***;
|
||||
|
||||
* real leather (probably)
|
||||
* brown leather (so stylish)
|
||||
* neato horizontal stitching on the arms (feel like a pilot)
|
||||
* a button flap thingy on the neck (assymetrical is neat)
|
||||
|
||||
so for the most part i was pretty stoked with this jacket, save for **ONE THING**
|
||||
|
||||
## but first! some back-story
|
||||
|
||||
there are a couple of important things to note about myself before we continue:
|
||||
|
||||
* i am left handed
|
||||
always have been, most likely always will be
|
||||
* my preferred medium of transporting my belongings is a satchel
|
||||
i cannot walk with balance if i am wearing a regular back-pack
|
||||
|
||||
so with this in mind lets talk about the problem with this jacket, which i hope one day someone will take into account.
|
||||
|
||||
***as a left handed satchel user, i have the strap on my left shoulder***
|
||||
|
||||
the reasoning for this is somewhat simple in my opinion, this configuration leaves my dominant hand next to the bag part, for which i require the strength to maneuver it when heavy. next upside is that it leaves my more finesse-focussed hand to rummage through said satchel.
|
||||
|
||||
a good system if i do say so myself.
|
||||
|
||||
## the problem:
|
||||
|
||||
as this new jacket is asymmetrical, it has a single inside pocket, on the left breast. the aforementioned button flap thingy is also sits near the left clavicle, and these create two main, related problems:
|
||||
|
||||
* i cannot reach into the breast pocket without having to move my satchel strap out of the way
|
||||
and
|
||||
* the strap pushes the button thingy into my clavicle which is uncomfortable
|
||||
|
||||
and both of these things could have been easily prevented had they created a line of this jacket for left handed people, that was mirrored.
|
||||
|
||||
## closing statements
|
||||
|
||||
i will confess, i have not done any research into this topic. they may sell left handed jackets already, they may not. i do not know
|
||||
|
||||
what i do know is that the hallensteins i purchased this jacket from, as well as specifically fuarking me over by saying i would not need to sign for the package, and then requiring me to sign for the package, also did not stock any left handed jackets.
|
||||
|
||||
time to bounce, keep on keeping on ny'all, and seeya round.
