Its the mid 90s. You have your plaid long sleeve shirt, your biker jacket and your Chuck Taylors on. You're the coolest kid in class, listening to Nirvana on your Walkman. You can relive that time when you just didn't care about anything with this awesome jacket! There is some wear from normal use. There is a white mark about 3mm wide and 1.5" long on one arm. Looks like it will come off with some leather conditioner. There is a hole on the inside pocket at the bottom. There is some separation of the zipper on one sleeve, but its not anything major or noticable unless you're really looking. This is the perfect jacket for custom painting or wearing everyday. Its comfortable and wears very nicely. From our research MBI was a Montreal brand from the late 80s to the mid 90s. We're estimating the year on this as 1993 based on the design and styling.
