The Ant Invasion continues...
In his post of yesterday, my blogmate The Cappuccino Kid writes "wear your badges with pride! and once in a while carry an old album around. i bet someone will strike up a conversation! you never know, you may just make a new friend!"
Here are some pics of the jacket I wore almost non-stop for three or four years at least (1989 to 1992), and then on occasion even after that. I had it on the day I trekked up to Birmingham to get my first tattoo in 1989, and someone did indeed come up to me and start chatting. An Adam Ant fan himself -- a big one. When I got my jacket signed by Adam in London in 1993, this lad was there at the signing too, and he mailed me photos that he had taken of me getting the jacket signed. What a nice chap. David was his name.
A Positive Pessimist also expressed interest in seeing pics of this jacket in her comment here a couple of months back, so here you go...

nice jacket!
too awesome that he signed it! you should wear that all the time... i bet red LOVES it
questions...
1, did it come like that when you bought it?
2, if so, where did you get it?
3, if not, who did it?
4, how much?
thats all.
Tanya: Thanks. I still think it's pretty cool, too.
APP: It is eyecatching. Many people would come up and chat about the Ants.
Karen: Yes I am!
4D: I'll be sure to keep it well covered when you're about then!
Cyn: No offence taken... I think.
Cappy 1: I think the orange iPod cover would certainly not have the same effect. Cheer, man.
Martino: Thanks for the link. There's a whole heap of interviews doing the rounds right now. It's hard to keep on top of them.
G-Hobbs: Or as Adam said: "You may not like it now but you will."
Martha: Yeah, it was cool that he signed it. Red likes the back, for the artwork, but she's no Antfan.
Cappy 2:
1&2. No, it was a plain leather jacket.
3. My dad painted the Ant Warrior logo on the back. I did the rest.
4. Just the cost of paints, paintbrushes, and badges.
wohoo! bargain.
I don't think I could fit in to some of my old rock chick clothes now. What you have there is a bit of history and I bet you wouldn't part with it for anything. Except for a large amount of cash. LOL
Cappy: Yes sir. I think the jacket itself cost me £70.
Suze: This jacket fits me so much better now than it ever did. Guess it must've shrunk or something... Funny, I did consider putting it on eBay once. But I don't think I could go through with it. Like you say, a piece of history.
