An article of clothing can define a person – and that’s definitely true when it comes to jackets. Some of the most iconic looks in pop culture history are closely tied to the jacket a person is wearing. Think about Marlon Brando in “The Wild Ones” or Joey Ramone on every Ramones album cover ever and you think about their leather jacket.
It’s a very broad topic, which is evident as Michael and Richard take very difference approaches with their choices. Will Jeff be able to wade through it all to decide a winner and who has to wear the Jacket of Shame? (Note: not a real thing.)

In fifth grade me and a girl in my class accidentally took home each others Jean jackets and didn’t notice until her mom checked the tags. They all looked similar enough and it turns out mine was a hand me down from my older sister.
