Classic Jacket Gold Corduroy

Imagine you're an Italian Plumber in the mushroom kingdom. Goombas and Koopas surround you as far as the eye can see. As you prepare for the inevitable game over screen, a light suddenly comes shining through from above, and your body is suddenly filled with hope. As you reach out and touch the power star, your body and clothes begin to glow with a golden luster. You stand up, and Bowser's army freezes in horror. As the familiar, uplifting jingle plays, they know, and you know, that world 1-1 is now yours.
While this jacket won’t actually make you invincible, it will it will certainly make you feel that way when you wear it. It won’t make your enemies grovel at your feet, but it will at least get them to begrudgingly acknowledge that your sense of style is superior. Why? Let’s go through the Four Cs.

The Color-
Because of the low whale count, the shine and luster is out of this world. Under soft light the fabric is teddy bear brown, but under harsh light the gold sheen displays its unlimited power. In cold light, the green tones comes out, but in warm light, the yellows shades show their face and make you a believer. The rich, dynamic gold hue simultaneously hits you harder than Mike Tyson on Red Bull, and then soothes you like Mr. Rogers singing you a lullaby on melatonin. Did I mention those copper buttons? They’re like lucky pennies snapped right into your jacket. Noice.

The Cord-
I came for the color but stayed for the cord. Up until getting this jacket, corduroy always reminded me of the pants I used to wear as a child; clunky, baggy, awkward. But everything changed when this jacket attacked. The 7 whale has some serious chonk. It doesn’t hide itself, but boldly displays its old school glory. Run your hands over it, and admire that luxurious, premium handfeel. Like velvet but strong AF. Simply delicious.

The Cut-
This is what brings it all together. If this jacket was baggy and bulky, I would look like Marvel’s lesser known superhero: “90’s Dad Man”. Now there’s nothing wrong with dads. I love dads, some of my best friends are dads. But the way this jacket is cut is just *insert chef’s kiss here*. Just the right amount of crop for that modern trucker jacket look. Just the right amount of slimness such that I can both wear it buttoned without any pulling at the buttons, and unbuttoned while looking form fitting and sleek. Did Freenote kidnap me while I was sleeping and use me as a model for the medium’s measurements? Because I can’t think of another explanation for why this jacket feels made for me. I’m keeping an eye on you design team.

The Conclusion-
Geeze just buy it already.

I probably have way too many trucker jackets of all fits and styles (who’s counting) but this one hits in all the right places. First of all the depth and texture of the corduroy in this color is off the charts. Right out of the box it has an immediate vintage feel to it. Then there’s the fit which is spot on. Slimmer fitting but perfectly cut lines make this the whole package for an athletic frame and my all time fave. The corduroy is a lighter weight and will be worn almost year round here in SoCal. You cannot go wrong with this rich color which really just compliments everything. Another hit for Freenote!

I have to admit that I have gone through far too many corduroy jackets trying to find the best fit and finish. No doubt the Freenote Classic Corduroy put an end to the search. I have it in both tan and gold. The colors are incredibly rich and finishing touches take it to another level. Fit is spot on for my build (athletic) and never fails to attract compliments about the jacket. I'd love to see this in an olive corduroy.

This jacket is top notch. The color is unique, and stands out from the crowd. The material is both smooth, and yet substantial at the same time. The jacket includes lots of great touches such as the detailed stitching, internal pockets, and the metal buttons/fasteners. You can’t go wrong with this one!

This jacket as a classic style with very nice details. The fit is at once modern but takes it’s cues from the great type 3 vintage Jackets of 1960s. The Japanese gold corduroy is superb it has a luxurious hand and a beautiful hue. Jacket fits true to size
