Ken Wahl The Wanderers Jacket

 1979’s American The Wanderers Ken Wahl Varsity Jacket

Bronx gang life in the early sixties comes alive in The Wanderers, the 1979 cult classic. Ken Wahl plays Richie Gennaro, the leader who keeps his crew together through rivalries and trouble. Back then, his shiny satin bomber-style jacket told everyone which neighborhood gang he proudly represented. Decades later, that jacket remains one of the most recognizable pieces of retro movie wardrobe. This imitation, the Ken Wahl The Wanderers Jacket, captures that swagger in orange and brown. Satin fabric gives it a glossy sheen, and a soft lining keeps it comfortable during parties.

A stand-up collar and zipper closure keep the front sharp, whether zipped or worn halfway open. Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hemline give the silhouette that classic, snug bomber finish from the era. Two waist pockets and two inner pockets hold a comb or phone without adding bulk. To nail the era, slicked-back hair, a tee, cuffed jeans, and boots finish the greaser costume. As a group costume, matching jackets let friends appear as a street gang at Halloween parties. Jacket Era sells it at an amazing sale price, so outfitting the whole crew stays affordable. Moreover, our Halloween Merchandise collection rounds up more retro and spooky costume ideas, all available right now.
