  • Michael Hutchison IS… The ROCKETEER!

    Posted on September 18th, 2007 The Shark No comments

    For 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”.

    BINGO!

    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.)
