Michael Hutchison IS… The ROCKETEER!
Posted on September 18th, 2007 No commentsFor over 15 years, I’ve wanted a jacket like The Rocketeer wore. It was just an awesome jacket. I remember checking out leather jacket stores and never saw anything even close. Disappointed, I gave up the search and got a generic leather jacket (which I, ahem, “outgrew” a decade ago).
Of course, that was before the Internet. It just occurred to me tonight to Google “Rocketeer leather jacket”.
This person sells Rocketeer Leather jackets, custom-made, for under $200! After you buy/win the auction, they take your measurements and make it for you. Awesome! And look how beautiful that jacket is. Oh sweeeeet! I am so there –
Oh.
Measurements.
Ahem, again.
I can think of nothing more pathetic than a fat comic geek in his late 30s getting a form-fitting Rocketeer jacket. I don’t want to be that guy.
OK, this jacket just became my incentive reward for when I lose 80 pounds or more.
(I sure hope this guy’s still in business in 2027.)
