Anyone ever have one of these? I have had it for 23 years and it's in perfect condition.

W-O-W! what, did you keep it in one of those informercial bags that you suck the air out of?

Yeah, I keep it under a plastic bag like you get from a dry cleaner. I love it. Brings back great memories. My grandmother got it for me when I got home from the hospital and was very down. Made my day.

Wow, you are lucky you got one of those. A little bit out of style though. But it's the memory that counts.

I don't think style was invented yet in clothing in the 80's. Thank you for the reply.

I have the exact same jacket! I think I've worn it maybe three times. Mine is in great condition, and even still fits perfectly. I didn't think anybody else had that jacket!

A jacket just like this ended a few days ago on eBay, final bid was $35 I believe...

I think it's so cool!!

You know, I'm not positive, but I vaguely remember owning a jacket just like that one when I was 12 or 13 years old!!

Looks VERY familiar!!

Shit I'd wear it to a concert now! Why not? It was the 80's that made our boys famous, and what better to go with your awesome hiked up tube socks than a silky blue polyester jacket like that? :p

It's a nice jacket for sure!

I wore my vintage black satin Synchronicity jacket to the Oakland show. A reporter took pics of me and my friends (who were wearing vintage Police garb) for a local paper. When it's printed (and supposed to be online), I'll post some pics/links

Xtreme: That jacket is awesome. When the weather permits, I would where it (protectively) with pride.

PF, somethings should never go out of style, like tube socks, short shorts, and that jacket.

Hannaha, Dietmar's got everything! I'll bet he's got one of those fabled GitM rubix cubes. :wink:

Wow way cool!!!! I love jackets I collect jackets like a stereotypical woman collect shoes

by **BinaryXtreme** on 26 Jun 2007 23:08

I'd wear it proudly too if it even came close to fitting me. :wink:

Thanks for the great replies.
