Initially, I was a little conflicted about running this. It is from Old Navy, after all. But my love for all things argyle won out in the end. Besides, I run stuff from Threadless here all the time — and as much as we don't want to admit it, they're not really an indie shop anymore. As somebody who has owned Old Navy track jackets in the past, I can attest to their warmth during the colder days that are just about ready to swoop in and take over for a bit. That's probably due to the high concentration of polyester in the jacket itself. A 15% cotton, 85% poly blend is sort of par for the course for track jackets tho. Of course the fantastic Los Angeles weather almost never requires anything heavier than this during the Fall and Winter. What one might define as "chilly weather" normally waffles somewhere between the high 50's to the low 60's. And since I don't ski or snowboard, I don't actually need anything more resilient. To be honest, having a track jacket pass for your winter coat is kind of nice. If you don’t live in a climate that allows for that, I kindly suggest you look into moving. Or, you know, buy something that ends up keeping you warm in. Come to think of it, that’s probably the cheaper solution… $39.50 | Credit | URL | M: S - 3XL

Alright, it's track jacket time... Don't worry Andy, I'm not whaling my way into your territory or anything. I just thought this design was too damn clever to pass up. Feel free to bite it if you want... ;) Now, I wouldn't think to call myself a design geek so much as I would a design admirer. Design geeks, for the most part, can actually crank out pretty looking things with a little bit of effort. Sure they might be whatever trend is the big thing at the time, but at least the things they make manage to look nice. And while I'm passingly familiar with grid layouts and typography, I don't think I could assemble the things that I know into something which people would want to look at or admire. Still, I get what Veer's going for here. What's more, thinking about simply zipping up as a visual aide during the explanation of kerning makes me giggle a bit. I'll laugh at anything tho, so take that however you want to. $69.00 | Credit | URL | M: S - XL
