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

A rozzer, funnily enough.

Have a look here....

Hmm. A bit of trawling turned up this picture:



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!

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.....

I stand corrected. Thanks!

So, extra-small then?

Now...postage to UK? I'll ask

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

Seems my suspicion from the gallery proved to be correct: clicky

For how long has he been wearing it by now

Nürnberg 2003:

Did not notice that shirt before....

Nice photo Vicus

You're right pearson; in 2003 there was no gig in Nurnberg....

According to that list there's never been a Nuernberg gig at all?

And 1 in '91 according to Hal's site: clicky

oh just look at the nose?

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

It isn't a 1991 one?

Guess vicus will have to solve this little mistery himself

sorry: FÜRTH 2003, but published in "Nürnberger Zeitung"

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...

@ Vicus: thanks for sharing the photo and the knowledge
