I was in grad school, and to my eternal shame I did buy a Crockett style jacket and attended class and parties for a few months with the jacket sleeves pushed up over a tee shirt. In my head there was an elaborate Phil Collins drum solo playing over my entrance into every room. So grateful there were no cell phones in those days, and so no surviving photographs. Finally got a girlfriend later that year who gently but firmly took that jacket out of my rotation.
