Michael Jackson One Jacket

Product Details

A classic military-style jacket with Michael Jackson One branding.

Personal Experience

On her recent trip to Las Vegas, my aunt initiated a FaceTime call with me while she was at the store to give me a virtual shopping experience. When I found something I wanted, she took it to the checkout counter and I paid her back for the total purchase amount. After having already accumulated a lot at the checkout counter, I told her I would need to pass this one up. My partner intervened and had her get it as his gift to me. My loved ones always look out for me.

I wore this jacket many times when I was a kid in the late-1980s. Sadly, it's not aged very well as the material has become dry and faded.

Black Beat It Leather Jacket

Product Details

Genuine leather jacket by Mexico-based Heron Leather Company.

Personal Experience

Heron Leather had three Michael Jackson jackets available for ordering around 2010 — Thriller, and two variants of Beat It in traditional red or black. The black variant of Beat It was gifted to me because my partner knew it was the one I wanted most of all. I already had Thriller and red Beat It jackets, granted they are children's costume quality (or lack thereof), but the black Beat It jacket would add a different styling element to my collection. Plus, this black Beat It jacket is genuine leather and adult sized. I was ecstatic when I opened the gift and blown away at its quality in materials and craftsmanship. I ended up wearing it as my normal "every day" fall jacket because I loved it that much. 

At the time of this writing, Heron Leather no longer has the black variant of Beat It, but they do still offer Thriller and the red variant of Beat It.
