Subject: Members Only Jackets back in?

Written By: 90s Guy on 06/06/18 at 11:11 pm

I was in Century 21 today and featured very prominently (next to very trendy bombers) were new, modernized versions of Member's Only jackets. C21 tends to be a high end store; are Members Only jackets back in style?

I wasn't sure what those were so I looked them up and they just look bomber jackets? I don't think that style ever really went out of style.

Member's Only jackets were considered for a long time to be VERY out of style. They were a brand/sub-style of bomber made and popularized in the mid to late 80s and were seen as being very dated to the mid 80s - early 90s. That's why I was surprised o see them on the rack next to trendy bombers at a relatively high end chain stor and hence the question.

If you think about it, your arms are members hidden in the sleeves?

It's the name of the company. It's been in business for almost 45 years.
