About Me



I am a jacket with various bright, vivid colors, and an 8-ball on the back and sleeves. I was originally created by Michael Hoban for his "Where M I" leather line. I've been keepin' people looking proper since the mid- 80's. Many in the clothing industry became jealous of my popularity at the time, and by the early 90's, they had people believing I was out of style. Most stores quit carrying the 8-ball line, and even slashed my value down to 50%-75% off. Don't believe the hype, my friends, I'm still a real, bona fide head turner. I can still make the average joe look stunning. I've just gone underground. You can still find me if you know where to look. Perhaps you could even team me up with a fresh pair of Zubaz and a dookie-rope chain. You may rely on it...

My Interests

Keeping people warm, and funky fresh since the 80's. Without a doubt.

I'd like to meet:

..Any person with arms, a back, a chest, and preferably a torso of some kind. a high-top fade, or a jerry curl wouldn't hurt, either...I will keep you nice a toasty on those chilly winter evenings. I will also turn you into one stylin' individual. Toss me on, and you'll be stylin' and profilin' in no time, my friends...I also enjoy Z. Cavaricci. You just gotta love those crazy, mad waist bands...a nice, snug pair of Z's and an 8-ball jacket ain't no joke. Top it all off with some old school British Knights high tops and a dookie-rope chain, please....and if your Z's are in the wash, don't forget your homie Mr. Zubaz pants is always there for you.
