THE ACCIDENTAL HIPSTER
Just a few weeks ago, a friend gave me a jacket that she thought would fit me and came at the right price, i.e., free. I really like it. It's a dark chocolate micro-suede that's surprisingly warm; there's little-to-no wear; and I don't own another jacket at all similar to this one. So, it became a welcome addition to my closet.
Today, however, I was surfing the Internet, looking up books on Amazon.com, when the site shoved one of those "recommended items" in my face. And damn if the thing didn't look just like my new jacket! Maybe those Amazon.com recommendation algorithms are a little sharper than I thought they were. Then I read the item's name:
Kenneth Cole Reaction Men's Hadley Poly Bonded Hipster Jacket
Oh damn. At first I was hoping it was a "Hipster Jacket" merely because it falls naturally to the wearer's hips, just below the waist. Unfortunately no.
Easy, slick and cool, this Hipster has Ipod/Blackberry inner pocketing system. This is a simple and classic jacket that will meet all of your needs. Point collar, full zip closure as well as adjustable cuffs makes this the perfect jacket.
Alright, I may wear this jacket frequently along with my heavy black-framed glasses, and utilize its inner pockets to store my iPod, which I use to listen to bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wolf Parade, and Bloc Party on my way from Brooklyn to Manhattan and then back to Brooklyn on the subway, but I am no hipster. I barely even get over to Williamsburg. And I didn't attend any of those McCarren Park Pool concerts this summer. Hipster Doofus perhaps, but definitely not a hipster.
I still like my jacket. And if you're a diminutive hipster wannabe, the Kenneth Cole Hipster Jacket is still available at Amazon.com in a range of sizes and colors, as long as the size is Small and the color is Black.
