Well, I DID wear one, as an adult. When I was in college, my dad got it for me. Later, when I was in the Navy, I would wear it when I went on liberty. Then, one day in 1983-or-so, I made the mistake of thinking of the barracks as my home-away-from-home. I took it off in the barracks TV lounge, then went to the can, fully expecting it to still be there when I got back. But it wasn’t. I suppose one of my fellow American sailors still thinks of me as a chump or whatever. I wish I could get it back somehow, or get another one like it.

Count me among the thousands who begged their mom for one of these.

Once I saw one just 2yrs later at college, I was glad I skipped. The one I saw was too tan on color, unlike the series.

Leaping ahead 20yrs, I went to the 20th Yarhen LA Con there they had much better reproductions. STILL couldn't convince my brand-new wife to let me buy one.

I had one of those jackets (ordered it from the back of Famous Monsters of Filmland.)

It was screen accurate, down to thew clasps, patch, and pins.

Bit it came in a size too small.

My Best Bud could wear it with no problems, so I ended up giving it to him (AFTER taking the patch and pins, natch.)
