1x Jacket in color of your choice
Here’s a Fun Fact for You
The origin of the jacket can be traced back to the middle ages or early Renaissance and was originally labeled the “jerkin.” Both the jacket and the jerkin are primarily similar in their ability to inspire sexual innuendo. Whether you’re a jerkin guy or a jacket gal, please remember these are for external use only.
These would be great for running marathons in the winter. Houston marathon is run in January and it is cold as fuck at the start but everybody starts stripping after a couple miles and throwing their stuff to the side. I usually wear thrift store hoodies but you could use this and not feel bad about ditching it.
@Kidsandliz@thechinglish I have seen that cathedral in Milan (the Duomo) in person. It is actually pretty impressive - not meh at all. One of the rare old buildings where you can actually go to the roof.
I bought these last time they had them and they are great. 2 zippered pockets. Inside they have picked that are large enough where, on my motorcycle, I carried a10 inch tablet and a over the ear headset. I bought more.
I honestly dgaf about the $1.42 but someone will likely bitch and moan, so here is a heads up that these are not taxable in NY State (or NY City) because they are items of clothing under $110.
@baqui63@thumperchick since I can’t see your actual transaction I don’t know what rate you were charged but while these are definitely exempt from the 4% state tax, they may still be subject to tax in the local jurisdiction (for instance Albany residents would still have to pay 4% on the jacket plus shipping).
@baqui63@j2@Thumperchick@medz The correct way to handle this is on your personal income tax return. It’s your fault for living in such a gerrymandered taxing location.
@baqui63@j2@JnKL@medz@Thumperchick In a past life, I was a tax preparer. I don’t ever remember anybody filing the “use tax” which is what my state calls uncollected sales tax on purchases from out-of-state. Interesting now how people complain when they are charged sales tax now. Not really a big mystery, but it is interesting in a people-watching sort of way.
@therealjrn Hey, according to this, we ranked only 48th on the list of business friendly states (business tax climate index) - just above California and NJ, so it could be worse…
For the TL;DR crowd:
Well, that’s not totally true. But unless I over paid mroe sales taxes than I paid real estate taxes, I come out ahead by claiming the real estate taxes rather than the sales taxes (NY State only allow one or the other, not both).
@j2 I guess it sucks to buy clothing in Albany (yet another reason why I’m glad @miraclewhispers, aka daughter unit 2, did not move there even if only for a year or three). Here in NY City, clothing is not taxable, state or local or MCTD, unless over $110 per item.
Shipping would be taxable, except you’ll note that I am a VMP and thus pay $5.43 ($5 plus 8.875% sales tax) for shipping each month.
(You don’t know me from a hole in the wall, but if you did you would know that I don’t state things as facts unless they actually are facts. This is because I really hate being wrong.)
@Thumperchick (I had to look this up.) Schedule H is for Household Help (like maids and nannies and the like) so I’m not seeing where it would be relevant, unless THAT is your point, in which case I apologize, though I will note that I prefaced my comment by stating that I don’t give a fuck about the $1.42 and that it was merely a heads up for the other fucktards that might care.
@coldestcore For the most part. They’re a tad slim in the waist compared to some wind breakers, but they fit my broad shoulders better than most jackets.
It’s very light. I wear it when I’m taking pictures in the yard to mitigate the mosquito bite count and to keep from getting too dirty from lying on the ground.
Huh. I just went back and looked at my orders. I ordered a 2XL in Navy and a 3XL in black…hmm…I wonder where they are? Tracking shows delivered. I think I remember getting them. Thanks for the memory jog @craigthom!
The model pics were super helpful. I have been thinking about training to be the douchebag who stands in a public place and holds a full phone conversation when he should be doing something else, like ordering at the fast food counter, watching his child play soccer, not blocking the building entrance, crossing the street, getting out of the street and into his souped up civic, not vaping outside the auditorium at his child’s school play, stopping his pit bull from sniffing everyone’s ass, or just modeling a jacket for Meh.
Once I have that mastered I plan to move up to Bluetooth so I can confuse everyone by looking at them while I talk to someone on the phone. #goals
@Jamileigh17 I like the lightning gif. It looks cool and makes me happy. Are there any browser plugins/extensions, device brightness settings, or eye wear that could be used to help?

@Stallion if you have stray dogs on street
@givemehdeal @Stallion haha just read that book!
No womens jackets?
Got any for the yout’s or little ladies?
@RedOx I mean you comb your hair and wear a suit and tie—and that suit better be made out of some kind of cloth.
Well, you almost had me at XXL…
@Woody1 hoping I can squeeze into an XL.
/giphy fat-guy-little-coat
I don’t understand
Pockets? How many?
@kalfaz pictures show zippered pockets on each side. So at least two.
@kalfaz @stolicat two, but as many as you need can be added using some scissors, old socks, and some glue. My pants have 7 extra pockets.
These are training jackets? Like, practice jackets you use until you’re ready for the real thing?
@awk No, those are Starter jackets
@awk @thechilipepper0 I have a lot of Finisher jackets. I always put them on too soon. Just ask my wife.
oh i have these, they’re great. I keep it in the trunk and wear it when i go to the movie theater.
Oooo. Good idea. Also as the runner posted earlier, a good throwaway jacket.

Navy is Naughty and Black is Bodacious. Meh has finally taught me something useful!

I understand that these are not Addidas, but I am a Slavic guy with a black BMW. Should I get this just to complete the outfit?
@DVDBZN three stripes or bust, blast!
@DVDBZN Ony you if you want to be a faux Gopnik. Real Gopniks wear Adidas or Puma only.
@DVDBZN @thechinglish @awk
@awk @DVDBZN @RiotDemon @thechinglish Thanks! That sent me down a rabbit hole!
Listed on Amazon for $49.95, but still a hard pass for me- I’m done with all my training, and on to doing…
@PhysAssist $12.99 at Sierra
@Kidsandliz Still not buying it…
Hahahaha I guess I’m tithing $5 a month to Irk at this point
@thechinglish If enough of us do it, maybe he can build a cathedral of meh…
/image meh cathedral
I guess technically not an image failure since meh is in the image, but I wouldn’t call that meh. Pretty ornate.
@thechinglish The Church of Meh. Not a totally bad idea.
@Kidsandliz @thechinglish I am pretty sure a cathedral of meh would look more like …
@Kidsandliz @thechinglish I have seen that cathedral in Milan (the Duomo) in person. It is actually pretty impressive - not meh at all. One of the rare old buildings where you can actually go to the roof.
are these mullet-optional or are they required to make the outfit complete?
@alacrity there’s a specific gauge of gold chain that just goes so well
I bought these last time they had them and they are great. 2 zippered pockets. Inside they have picked that are large enough where, on my motorcycle, I carried a10 inch tablet and a over the ear headset. I bought more.
@Birdheh how are they sized? True to size, big, small?
Don’t need. Members only jacket still fits.
@mike808 and still in style.
@thumperchick, et al…

/giphy thrilling-inconsistent-loris
@baqui63 surely you can correct the problem when you file your taxes. Just write-off the $1.42 yeah?
@baqui63 @thumperchick since I can’t see your actual transaction I don’t know what rate you were charged but while these are definitely exempt from the 4% state tax, they may still be subject to tax in the local jurisdiction (for instance Albany residents would still have to pay 4% on the jacket plus shipping).

@baqui63 NY taxes are a pain in the schedule H.
@baqui63 @j2 @medz @therealjrn @Thumperchick really? The bot wakes up for scrapegoat and fault?
Who’s fault is that @JnKL?
@baqui63 @JnKL @medz @therealjrn @Thumperchick You should blame the goat

For the TL;DR crowd:
@therealjrn @ybmuG what the hell? Blame Canada? Is that an option?
@JnKL @therealjrn Not for you buddy. Unless you want to be the scapegoose
@medz Actually, no one cannot do this.
Well, that’s not totally true. But unless I over paid mroe sales taxes than I paid real estate taxes, I come out ahead by claiming the real estate taxes rather than the sales taxes (NY State only allow one or the other, not both).

@carl669 add another one to the count
@baqui63 @medz What a rip-off.
@therealjrn @ybmuG geese are mean. Or at least, not friendly. Not like goats or Canadians.
@baqui63 the schedule H for a business is how you calculate the sales tax you’ve collected vs what should be collected.
XL won’t cover my fat belly.
@mdjst5 Same Here!! Need a XXXL, otherwise I would have purchased.
@mdjst5 these actually run big. I am normally a 4xl, but the xl of this fits me (though a bit snugly. v cozy) you’ll probably be fine.
Best product writeup EVER.
OH MY GOD THEY JACKETED GLEN!!!
nice sizing chart
Ironically, the train is pulling in as I read this.
Purchased these almost a year ago and had our team logo embroidered on it. Great jacket for mildly cold weather!
@wickhameh Run true?
@coldestcore For the most part. They’re a tad slim in the waist compared to some wind breakers, but they fit my broad shoulders better than most jackets.
Best. Order #. EVER!

How are these sized? Do they run small, or big? I’m between a L and XL…
Gerbils AND caterpillers on the same day!
/giphy excited-sticky-caterpillar
The “contrasting panels” aren’t even reflective? Shit.
So, these jackets are named STORMtech, but are neither waterproof nor well insulated?
Pass.
@tgpowell nor do they contain any tech unless you consider a pocket for your fliphone to be tech.
@frd1963
Excellent point. I demand they change the name to “Clothjack.”
I love y’all. I’m having a very busy week and stopped for a moment to check in. I’ve been laughing or smiling ever since. Thx!
I bought these in black last time. Getting navy today.
/giphy earthly-cold-alarm
@j37hr0 Was it sized as you would expect? I’m typically between medium and large depending on the brand so I’m not sure which way to go.
@MrTizl yes. I got an XL for me and a medium for my wife. She’s usually a small but sleeves are too short. She likes the sleeve length on the medium.
ordered 2… navy xl, black L
best one yet

Crepe-y.
This is a weird one but I’d still bite if I didn’t already have a million jackets.
I bought two last time. I know where one is.
It’s very light. I wear it when I’m taking pictures in the yard to mitigate the mosquito bite count and to keep from getting too dirty from lying on the ground.
@craigthom is it true-to-size?
@Jonbox I really can’t say. I got 3XL, and it wasn’t too small, but I didn’t notice other than that.
Huh. I just went back and looked at my orders. I ordered a 2XL in Navy and a 3XL in black…hmm…I wonder where they are? Tracking shows delivered. I think I remember getting them. Thanks for the memory jog @craigthom!
Can’t wait to strut around in this stylin’ jacket. That’s what it’s all about if you’re cool.
That “fun fact” is indeed fun to know. Nice to know I can belong to the jacket club inspite of my preference for jerkin

Mine was delivered yesterday Tues 9/24. WOW this jacket rocks. Happy, happy, joy, joy!
It came! Now I’m ready for the Bulgarian Club formal!
This sucked as bad as I thought it would. Terrible design. Straight to Goodwill. The stripes are really A LOT lol. I fucked it on this one.
@CPeezy9000 In that case, I certainly hope you washed it before donating.
I like it. Mediums a tad long in the arms and waist. The rubber tab on one of the pocket zippers broke in half, but no big deal
first time I zipped up–I’m not fat, the zipper unzipped at bottom, had to work it down–tedious
zipper comment was mine, never heard any feedback–
@hillhi
Who did you want feedback from? If it was from meh, you should have wrote in, but bear in mind you’re past the warranty period now.
If it it’s from random people here in the forum, I guess you didn’t pique anybody’s interest with your zipper problem.
Try using a bar of soap to lubricate it.
