Let's keep it real, you know you had one. You were probably the coolest kid on your block for having one. The "one" I'm referring to is the infamous Members Only Jacket. They are making a comeback of sorts but they were the ish back in the day. Everyone was rocking one from Michael Jackson to Madonna.
These jackets ladies and gentlemen were and still are the epitome of cool. Many all purpose jackets have come after it, but none of them have touched the nostalgia of this threaded gem.

It may seem these days that only old heads rock these things as if they were trying to relive their hip 80's cool. Well the older folk might be on to something - they inadvertently brought sexy back long before Justin even knew what it was.

So next time you see somebody rocking one of these, instead of furrowing your brows, take a moment to recognize the resurrection of pure 80's gold. From grey to black to red and beyond, the colors of the rainbow should rest easily knowing their legacy is intact and carried out by an exclusive club - the Members Only!
