Um Gross

[Dory1988]

Now any man can be a Marine, even ones who wear black lipstick and dress like Mailyn Manson (I jest. I know those aren't the only people who shop here.). One of my friends found this treasure (sarcasm) on Hot Topic's website. Granted, you can go to most dry cleaners or Army Navy surplus stores and find a real one but this is gross. Stan, who knew it was so easy? It's so sad that's not the first time we've asked each other this question in the past few weeks.

Anyway, here's the link to this gem.

If you didn't earn the jacket, you don't get to wear it. The commercialization and styling of military uniforms outside of you know, the actual armed forces makes me ragey.

I guess DH read somewhere that Hot Topic, in response to the negative comments received due to this jacket, will not be selling it in stores and will be pulling it from the website.

My cousin( by marriage) is in a band and his signature thing is Marine Corps Dress Blues jacket. Makes me cringe every single time I see him in it. I really want to be like " Hey J, can you not wear that? You didn't earn the right to. My husband over here did, you did not, take it off!"

Idk. I think they pressure it with a better pair of pants. Hot

It looks like they ditched it. The link says unavailable. Thank goodness.

I'm glad to hear this! DH said he read they even said they were going to drop all products made by that particular manufacturer.
