DEAR MEMBERS ONLY JACKET,

Dear Members Only Jacket..

Hailing from the same continent as the couture heavyweights, you were a prevalent prominent fixture in the 80's. Gucci's little (step)
brother. Armani's nephew (through marriage). You were a staple in fashion and a symbol of popularity and power..for like a full 5 minutes. Like a former child star you were discarded. Abandoned. Forgotten. The marked down item with the blue sticker at the thrift store. For decades you remained illegitimate. Your epaulets were disrespected (you know..your shoulder thingys..yeah..highly disrespected). You're infamous tagline "When You Put It On Something Happens" was made infamous. By condom
companies. You were the punchline of history's cruel and unusual jokes. For decades we didn't hear from you. The growing popularity of pique coats, parkas, and basically any other jacket pushed you further into recluse. And worn by the fellow pictured.

But something amazing happened.. Someone in the Popularitry & Trends Regulation Office thought it would be funny to bring back a trend that wasn't even all that cool when it was alive. The 80's. You weren't meant to be popular again. It was kinda an accidental happening. But through the God awful rope chains and thrift store pillages looking for the most stonewashed Osh KoshBgosh overalls, you prevailed.

And we like you for it. Then it happened. Season 6 Episode 66. March 12 2006. Sopranos. You headlined the thing. Cool people are now adorned in your polynylon blend. Celebrities love your leather vintage feel (with the metal tag of course). Dare I say dope? Yes I do. You are dope Members Only jacket. Your price went from 47 cents to an illustrous 39 bucks on Ebay. Watch out North Face. MO, as we've so cleverly named you, forever will you be a staple in fashion and a symbol of popularity and power.

Lest you fall off again.

Zipped all the way up with neck piece snapped,
