1. Definitely late 80’s Starter jacket.

2. I had one when I was 6 or 7 in 1986 or 7.

3. Its very similar to mine which im fairly certain was made when they won in ‘86

4. 🔥

5. Does the tag say “made in New Haven CT” or “made in Jamaica”?

6. I had one just like it in the late 80s

7. My dad has one like that and it’s from the 80s

8. It would earn a nod of respect from the ‘86 Mets.

9. These jackets are tough because they still make them overseas. Check the tags and lmk what it says

10. Mid 80s would be my guess

11. i had this in about 1989.

12. Freaking amazing.

13. I have a picture of myself as a kid probably late 80’s wearing this at the HOF crying next to the Babe Ruth statue because I didn’t want to take a picture with a Yankee

14. late 80s, early 90s?

15. I have that exact jacket, late 80’s to early 90’s for sure.

16. I have that exact jacket, late 80’s to early 90’s for sure.

17. I could be entirely wrong. But I own and have owned several of these 1980s era Starter satin jackets and this is the first i’ve seen with that chest logo with the sharp edges on the tips of the lettering. The one’s i’ve had have the older logo with rounded edges. Please show a photo of the tags!

18. I’d say anywhere between 1962 and now.

19. [removed]

20. I’m gonna say late 80s early 90s, the second I saw it for whatever reason I pictured Davey Johnson in it

21. Late 80s or early 90s for me. I had one exactly like the one in a photo. A girl I had been dating for like a month unexpectedly bought it for me. I must have told her I was a Mets fan. Fast forward about 35 years, I no longer have the jacket or the girl.

22. I mean I got that one new from fanatics in the last 5 years

23. My dad got me this as a kid in the late 80’s, that’s how I became a Mets fan. Was just thinking about this jacket actually. I wonder if I can find the picture of me in it.

24. I wanna get that jacket

25. I have the same jacket! Except it’s in off-white. It was given to me secondhand when I was in high school in the early 2000s by my diehard uncle who had been living in Boston in 1986. I always just figured it was from around that time or a little bit later, given that somewhere around 1990 seems to be the high water mark for Starter jackets, but I never asked him before he passed a couple of years ago.

26. Starter? Mid to late 90’s most likely

27. I got mine in Aug 1985. Still have it.

28. I got mine from the 1986 World Series

29. Got mine in 86. Still cram myself into it once a year.

30. 80s for sure ! LGM!!!!

31. at least 2 months old, easy

32. 40

33. Nice jacket 👍

34. Is your husband taken?

35. At least 4 decades old and well preserved I might add.

36. I had that exact coat in the early 90’s

37. This jacket automatically reminds me of Davey Johnson.

38. 7

39. My husband had one in the 80s
