If you are a fan of Kevin Smith and his Character, Silent Bob, then you know his iconic over-sized Green (& Black) jacket. For me, I love Olive Green tones and maybe its a subtle influence of this character that when it comes to jackets, mine need to be tent size. This does however make me look like a prime suspect for shop lifting, so it feels a little weird exiting stores lately and been given the second look from staff & security.
Apart from that, its probably the only piece in my closet that has a name ‘Silent Bob’ (well actually this is Silent Bob the 2nd, Silent Bob the 1st is my other older and much loved jacket that has seen better days). Either way, its a nod to a character, writer, director, pod caster and all round good human Kevin Smith- LOVE THAT MAN!
With that been said, its kind of appropriate that of all places i find this jacket but in the Men’s clothing section. Getting anything over 3XL is difficult with woman’s ranges as you’re already at the end of that size scale (NZ 20-24). With plus size men, although they too feel limited in variety, their sizing goes beyond the set limitations we see in woman’s clothing. So if you want that –over-sized item when you are over-sized, look past the marketing of ‘Male’ clothing to its potential of it being Unisex or ‘Yoink, fucking mine now!’
