Note 2/20/24.
Below are two posts about a leather jacket.
I sold it to a collector. I got a postcard a few years later asking if I wanted it back for a trade. The address was not clear.
I would like it back. I was foolish to sell it. But I was going through a rebellions time against things but now older and wiser I realize I was being foolish.
So, wherever my punk rock jacket is I sure would like to see it again or have it back.
Until we meet again…
The black leather jacket was left behind after one of X-8’s female conquests, left behind in his car. He gave it to me and it fit. As a vegetarian and beertarian my frame was petite. Now the jacket is dry and shrunk and I’m round and plump. I had my son model it.
It was a simple complete-black leather jacket. The Charged GBH logo went on top first thing in the early 1980s. I love this jacket. We were inseparable.
My friendship with X-8 faded and he never knew what became of the jacket. A few years ago X-8 and I rekindled our friendship for a brief time on MySpace.
I told him about the leather jacket and what became of it. He was surprised and seemed interested.
This leather jacket is special to me because X-8 thought of giving it to me, and the girl who left it behind…not a clue?
