Had I been of a mind to ask for such a thing, I'm confident that the answer, no matter which parent I might have asked, would be a ready and firm NO. Not on account of style, they just would be damned to spend those kind of 70s dollars for that.

You're not wrong! That was a huge amount of money back then!

Seriously! Who had that kind of moolah to spend on BG goodies?
Sigh. RUSH ORDER FORMS. As opposed to...

When you consider the $4 sneakers and $7 Levi's of the 70s, yes: I'm sure my parents would never have gone for that, even if I'd been a BG fan.

I would have killed for this as a kid! I loved that show - the remake sucked.


Holy frack!

I wanted that so bad back then, but I just could not scrape the money together.

I never saw any ads for the jackets back then!

Unfortunately, I was a destitute little ragamuffin and could never have afforded such things, but it would've been nice to have wished for one...

I thought (and still do, really) that the Colonial Viper Pilot's uniforms were the coolest-looking things evar!

I'd wouldn't mind having one (not for $50-60, though, and in a much larger size).
