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.

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.

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

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