the last paragraph is the perfect accompaniment to my personal association with military outerwear: enjolras' red vest in "les miserables"!

I was just thinking that this made me want to dress up as Enjolras for Halloween.

This was such a good read!! The designer Keburia is also a huge fan of the military-style jacket

I love what you wrote and I'm looking forward to the secondhand sourcing guide! I have a vintage marching band jacket I added patches to for this look. I started wanting a blue one after the hot girls on tiktok as Lin Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton trend.

Very well-written, Mac! 💕 I have a Zara version of this jacket, in black velvet with red lining. I’m inspired to “rockstar” it up, thanks!

“In direct contrast to years we spent inside, this jacket marches forward and asks if you wanna do a line in the bathroom.” 🙂‍↕️👌
