I have an Avirex bomber jacket that I got while in Junior High, during the Top Gun craze. It was extremely pricey at the time (somewhere around $300, if I remember correctly), and I have no idea how I talked my mom into buying it for me. I think I must have ransomed two birthdays and a Christmas for it. The thing still sits in my closet, despite my wife's repeated efforts to make me get rid of it. I keep telling her that bomber jackets will come in again some day. I'll really get a kick out of it if they come in when my kid is in school, and I can give the jacket to him.
