JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE OVERSIZED COATS & FORGETTING ABOUT CHAT ROOMS FOREVER

​Images via Mohawk General Store
For a brief moment I tried not to write about this oversized coat from Jan-Jan van Essche -- I've written two posts about his work in the recent past, which could rightly be considered disproportionate representation, and, as you surely know, I strive to be even-handed with my fawning -- but then, like always, I succumbed to my basest impulses, so here we are. Look at that fucking thing. It's perfect. It's the kind of garment that elicits a single, manly tear to roll down my cheek in hyper-masculine fashion. It costs 1208 USD, the kind of price that elicits a series of whimpers to emerge from my mouth in a decidedly submissive manner. Is it frowned upon to crowdfund your wildly expensive clothing purchases? Seems like it probably would be, but I don't know what's appropriate on the internet anymore. Things were much simpler back when AOL was Aol. Remember chat rooms? Me neither, because I'm not a sex criminal or a federal agent posing as a child to attract the advances of sex criminals. One time, we grabbed a bunch of free America Online discs from a pizza place and had a CD-ROM fight in the mall parking lot. Man, those were the days. I'm going to buy this coat and dedicate it to the great state of New Jersey. Why do I have the sudden urge to smoke weed in an alleyway? -RB
