Me explaining to my wife why I need one of these 8.15 August Fifteenth Barn Jackets, even though I already own so many chore coats: “it’s only got two pockets. Like, instead of having the typical four with two on the outside of the chest, or one on the outside of the chest and one on the inside of the chest, it only has two hip pockets. That makes this TOTALLY DIFFERENT.” And if that doesn’t work, I’ll tell her that they’re 50% off. And if that doesn’t work, well, then I’m SOL, because I know better than to buy something she doesn’t want me to. Again.

For price and purchase info, visit 8.15 August Fifteenth.
