This was gifted to me from Daryl Hall in 1991 when I toured with Hall & Oates as a musician... it was in the stage wardrobe cases, but it was (at that point) a bit small for him. He knew I was dating a guy with a motorcycle, and didn't have a proper jacket, so he gave it to me. It was a bit big on me (a 5'9" woman), but was functional. I held on to it for sentimental reasons, but I think I'm going to sell it. He said he put the studs on himself, in his kitchen with a hammer, so don't let those distract you, haha. What can we say, it was the 80s...

It has no tags, but it's good quality, and I lost touch with those guys yeeeeears ago so I can't exactly ask him what brand it was. I imagine I'll sell it to some fan; it's just been stored away for decades now. As much as I like it as a momento, I think some rabid fan will actually love it more, and maybe actually

wear it.

I looked at jackets online to see what it might be, but they all seem to have breast pockets, which this one doesn't. It measures 24" sleeve to shoulder, 27" long in back, 20" across back between sleeves. What size is that? And, does anyone recognize the brand?

(I've tried Google and AI to search for it, but the added stud decorations make all the results cheap women's faux punk/Michael Jackson jackets... the limits of technology!)

I stuck it up on eBay, hopefully the auction gets some interest! I'll stick it on the sale tab if I can link to an outside listing... wish me luck.

Oops I guess I can't list it on this website, since I haven't made 25 posts.
