Andrew's Leather jacket

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Does anyone no where (in Chicago) Andrew got the leather Chicago Police jacket he is wearing in some of the pictures of him?

Hmm. A bit of trawling turned up this picture:

Image

If anyone has a better one, please chime in. As you can see, it's not exactly the jacket advertised at Nates, so I'm presuming - as I did before - that it is a regular jacket that has simply been modified.

In a similar vein, can anyone identify the patch on his right shoulder? Barely glimpsed, it seems to be - from recollection - a tricolour with three or four stars across the middle. For some time I was convinced it was the old Iraqi flag.

Any clarifications gratefully received.

The flag is actually the flag of the city of Chicago..

I think the jackets are the same though maybe with the lining taken out.. I mean, who would play a gig wearing a fur lined leather jacket..

sweatside! :urff:

Actually looking at it, it does look like a standard Chicago police jacket, worn a size or two larger than normal..

Mind you I prefer the mounted one for some reason...


fur..... :wink:

This can go into the Sisters Chat forum. It already is more Sisters-related than some of the posts there. ;D

Yes and it certainly ain't a 1991 photo. It definitely is 2003. Just not Nürnberg.

Gift from the Chicago PD, perhaps?

I still get a laugh when I recall an earlier post where someone referred to it as 'that Vanilla Ice jacket'.

But we all know Von's a bit more subtle than to glue plastic shiny letters that read 'Word To Your Mother' on his nice police coat...
