They all had multiple jackets. I believe this one was a later addition from Vanson after they became famous for their leather wearing. In any case it’s an awesome jacket. And The Ramones knew you could never go wrong with jeans and leather.

Not my pic, ( taken from another site) but from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Joey Ramone's jacket was a Vanson.. not a Schott as I wouldve thought.

Quite so. They weremost famous, I think, for the Schotts, but they regularly switched out stage jackets, especially Joey. The other boys uwec to throw 'em off aftera number or two, but oey kept his on for shows. As I recall, he reckoned he got a few months out of a jacket before it got pongy and he opted for a new one. In the early days, Tommy wore a black leather jean-jacket type, and DeeDee sometihng akin to a leather MA1 (see the covershot on their legendary, eponymous debut album). By 77 they're all wearing lancer fronts, but much of the time Joey and Marky are both in Lewis jackets (Star Lightnings, if memory serves, at one point - notable for the sided buckles being round the back). The Schott era was really more into the eighties, as I recall it. Of course, Schott's marketing department will likely tell you Joey wore the same Scott as Jhonny Strabelr for his entire career. ;) :p


I like that. Reminds me of the pull-over Swedish military riding jackets, though a more practical option.
