This large denim zip-up jacket was passed down to me after my papa passed away, and it carries a warmth that goes far beyond the fabric. It has that classic, slightly worn-in feel that only comes from years of being loved and lived in. The oversized fit makes it comforting to wear, like being wrapped in something familiar, steady, and safe. Every stitch and faded edge reminds me of him and the life he lived.

Wearing it feels like keeping a piece of him close. It’s more than just a jacket-it’s a memory I can carry with me, something that holds his presence in a tangible way. Whether I throw it on for everyday errands or just to feel connected, it’s one of those irreplaceable items that means more than anything new ever could.
