leather jacket, idk man

Farmsister is repeatedly benefiting from being roughly the same size as Dad. Yesterday Mom turned up with a green raincoat, newish, in good repair, and handed it to her. “Yours has a hole, doesn’t it?” Mom said, and Farmsister agreed, pulled her leaky yellow jacket down off the hanger, and put the new green one up there.

This morning, on her way out to do animal-feeding chores, Farmsister put the green jacket on, and paused.

“Hey,” she said. “It smells like him.”

I got up and put my face against her shoulder, and yeah. Smelled like he’d worn it over his leather jacket.

(ArmySister got the leather jacket. It’ll fit her, too, but she probably won’t wear it much.)

“You’ll have to buy a leather jacket,” Farmsister said. “Leather jackets mostly smell the same.”

“I’d wanted an excuse to get one,” I said, and she went out onto the porch and dumped out her boots like Dad always did (in his case, checking for scorpions in a habit formed in Army training at Ft. Hood in Texas, but in our case, well, you store your boots out on the porch and crap falls in there, it just makes sense), and set off into the freezing rain with Dad’s raincoat on.

Now I gotta buy a leather jacket. Suggestions for where to get one that’ll fit a distinctly narrow-shouldered feminine figure with a 50″ bust? (Your picture was not posted)
