Posts with tag bomber jacket

Remember those jackets -- those thin polyester (were they polyester? we don't even remember), with the standing, tabbed collar, knit cuffs and trim at the waist, and of course,the signature label that said "Members Only?" We might not recollect all that well because it was a style intended for the boys in the '80s, but the label is back, and this time, it's for the ladies.

If we recall correctly, Members Only jackets didn't cost more than a reasonable twenty bucks, and even with inflation over 20 years, we don't see that a jacket would be more than say, $75. However, Members Only is now somewhat of a luxury retro label, with jackets ranging near a thousand dollars. Granted, the jackets are made of leather, but still - nearly $1,000?!

Hey, if you don't want to go all out with a leather jackets, Members Only has departed from just jacket designs and has vests as well as dresses, which a re slightly more reasonably priced.

Members Only Classic Bomber Leather Jacket available for $990 from Revolve Clothing.

If you are going to start an outerwear line, why not start with the quintessentially cool Beat novelist Jack Kerouac?

Leather goods purveyors Hogan have created the Jack Kerouac Project, a mini collection of six leather goods pieces inspired by the hipster icon. The pieces will be available exclusively at Paris retailer Colette for one month and the collection includes a high top sneaker, a work boot, three bags and a bomber style jacket which sells for $1,590. After the debut at Colette, the collection will be available in all Hogan stores starting in July.
