First off, the “Replicant” name? Total Blade Runner feels. Major points for that. Plus, from what I’ve gleaned from the interwebs (aka, that eBay listing and Amazon blurb), it’s supposed to be an insulating liner. Like, you can wear it *under* another jacket? That’s pretty neat, actually. Living where I do, layering is basically a survival skill, so anything that adds to the warmth arsenal is a win in my book.
Then there’s the whole “IN+ERFACE compatible” thing. Honestly, I have *no* idea what that means. Some kind of crazy zipper system? Maybe it plugs into your brain and gives you extra warmth? Just kidding… mostly. But seriously, Tavik’s really trying to build out a system here, kinda interesting. I wonder if it’s worth investing in the other jackets? Hmmm…
And the Tavik Bomber Jacket in general? Waxed cotton? Yes, please! I have a thing for waxed cotton. It just looks good. It’s like, “I’m outdoorsy, but also stylishly aware.” Or at least, that’s the image I’m going for. I saw one described as a “go-to piece” and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Something I can just grab and go, no fuss. I also saw one that was quilted… That definitely sounds comfy.
Now, the price point… let’s be real. At $110 and up? That’s a bit ouch. But hey, good jackets ain’t cheap, and I’m kinda tired of buying the cheap ones that fall apart after one season. Maybe it’s time to invest in something that’ll actually last?
