While I realize this thread is about the 1980s, I think one needs to understand the decades leading up to it to understand why the 1980s were what they were. It may be simply that this is the time period I have experienced, just as someone born 30 years prior or after would for their own era...
Withdrawn from sale. In a fit of Easy Rider nostalga, I took it in to get it repaired and made a light copy of Fonda's jacket.
