I was half thinking of eventually picking up a few so a few friends could come over and partake in the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, this is all somewhat tongue in cheek as I live in a cramped nothing special NYC apartment where virtually none of my friends come visit But in my head, it sounds fun
Well, since no one does it anymore, it would be quite appropriate to have a party where you provided the jackets, much as I have a rack of vintage seventies clothes by the door when I have a seventies party. I even sold a jacket to a guest once.
