Conan Stevens in Slovakia at MangoBar
Here I am sporting my worn in leather jacket, recently aquired in Poland.
It was 6am in the morning, it was very cold and an ice wind was going straight through my jeans and my lightweight Australian jumper, I walked around for 3 hours in this until I could not take it anymore, usually the cold is OK, but the wind was too much.
Then I spotted a second hand clothing store, I ran inside and grabbed the only jacket that fit, it was brown and cost only $20, I jokingly referred to it as my Polish homeless persons jacket, I thought it was ugly.
It got a bit of wear over the rest of the trip, like in Vilnius, Lithuanian when it got below freezing at night (in 'summer'!) by the time I got home it had changed shape, being leather, it had stretched over my frame and now looked like a fashion item and all my mates offered to buy it off me.
I gave my most envious mate the jacket when I moved to Thailand, living in the tropics, I have no need for it.
