I'm currently watching "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" and saw that during part of the film (the fight between Remo and three bad guys on the Statue of Liberty) he's wearing a dark brown G2 Raider style leather jacket.

That got me to thinking, what characters on TV shows and/or movies sport the G2 Raider style jacket?

Besides the above mentioned film and character, I thought Kirk Cameron's character of Michael Seaver on "Growing Pains" also wore a G2 Raider for several episodes, but after doing a YouTube search of the theme songs from each season I didn't see it. Maybe someone who owns "Growing Pains" on DVD can shed some light on this.

Yeah, those are the same photos I found online.

I may be mistaken but I thought Mike wore a G2 at some point during the series. It may have been later in the series, once he was older and was living above the garage.

I know Kevin Costner wears one in "Field of Dreams." I don't remember if there is ever a time in the movie where one can see the lining so it's hard to say what brand it was. The little leather pull tab on the main zipper makes me think it's an Avirex version although it does have the triangular collar like the Chevignon. Hard to say as the collar on these jackets can do that as they age no matter what the brand. A few of my Schott ones have collars like that. While on the topic though, I was surprised that RDA actually wore an A2 in the Mercedes Citan commercial and the Mastercard commercial he was in for the Superbowl. They're certainly easier to find so maybe that's why.



Walk in love, walk in service, and you will walk in honor.

Same jacket again but you can see that it has the same distressed pattern as MacGyver's jacket

They were all the rage back in the 80s. Between Indiana Jones, Top Gun and all the action adventure shows, they took off. I still have mine, although its hard to pry it from my oldest's hands lol. I wish it were an Avirex, but it's an Eddie Bauer spinoff. Come to think of it, I'm going to dig it out so I can actually wear it this year biggrin.gif
