Members Only Men's Iconic Racer Jacket

This appears to be a Members Only Men's Iconic Racer Jacket, a classic style known for its distinctive features. The jacket is a solid charcoal grey or dark olive green color, made from a lightweight, potentially water-resistant fabric, likely a polyester blend, which exhibits a subtle sheen and some wrinkling, suggesting a fabric that drapes easily. Key physical characteristics include the signature snap-button throat latch on the collar, which is visible with two silver-toned snap buttons. The collar itself is a band-style collar. The front closure features a full-length metal zipper, visible along the inner edge where a hand is holding the material open. There's also a smaller snap-button tab on each shoulder, sometimes referred to as epaulets, though their primary function on this style is often decorative. A prominent 'MEMBERS ONLY' brand label is visible on a chest pocket flap, which is a hallmark of the jacket's design. The interior of the jacket is lined with a smooth, dark-colored fabric, consistent with the outer shell's color. The stitching appears orderly and well-executed, indicative of standard garment manufacturing quality. There are no immediate visible signs of significant damage like tears or major stains, though minor creases are apparent. The metal snaps and zipper appear functional. This style of jacket gained significant popularity in the 1980s and has seen various revivals, suggesting an estimated age from that period or a more contemporary reissue.
