"Back in the flower-power days, these pioneer-looking jackets were standard gear for a certain throwback hippie look. I'm thinking David Crosby, or Dennis Hopper in Easy Rider. Maybe they'd be worn with a cowboy hat or a coonskin. I assume most of these characters were straight, but really, who cares? I think, in this day and age, men's apparel has less to do with advertising one's sexuality than it did a few decades ago. There are exceptions, of course, and it's not hard to find them on Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, where tight and brief are still quite popular. When I arrived in New York, many men who love men favored motorcycle gear even though they had no motorcycles, and they frequented bars like the Eagle's Nest and the Spike, where leather or cowboy gear was the dress code. I suppose the jacket you're referring to would have passed muster. But if you're feeling cowboy, you don't have to worry about what anybody thinks. We're post-Brokeback, dude."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
