The guy I bought my FD from gave me a jacket he supposedly got when he originally bought the car in 1993. It's a brown leather jacket from Beyond Leather and has "Mazda" embroidered on the left cuff and "RX7" on the back of the neck. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I searched online and couldn't find anything remotely like it. I'd wear it except for 2 things. #1 it is definitely from the early 90s style wise and super lame and #2 it's an XL and I'm 5'9".

Pics are attached. Weird huh?

 

You need to sport that jacket down Franklin Street!

 

Mazda actually had a dealer accessory leather jacket in the early '90s when the car was new. It didn't look like that as far as I know, it had "RX-7" on the cuff. I wanted one SO BAD back in the day, I remember it was pretty damn pricey from Mazda.

Wish I still had the promotional material that showed it.

Yeah that'll score points with the ladies.

I know it's pretty common for dealers to have model specific merchandise but what weirds me out is that I can't find anything like it online. I suppose it was a while ago, but I wonder if they made a lot of them or if this is an unusual thing.

 

I dont care what it says
That jacket totally screams 90s

 

Dale, that might fit your tall azz

 

nice. that is as rare as it gets.

 

Even if you tried giving that jacket to Goodwill
They wont take it.

 

Give it to me. I'll put it to good use

 

Or send it to me, I am old school....

 

it kind looked like the jacket James garner wore when he did the rx7 commercials..

but i can rock it.. i got tight pantz

 

Ok it's time to pull out the old delorean and go back and get a few for group buys!!!! Who's in? I'm might need a Lil plutonium if anyone has any. I seem to be low.

 

Plutonium is old fuel, remember we use trash now...LOL

 

omg, that commercial is HOT, "romp down the road" roflmao!!

and $13k for a TII when it was brand new?? nutz man, you can't buy **** for $13k now.

 

That commercial wasn't for a TII it was a base model w/ the aluminum wheel option.

 

Thats probably the uglyes FC ever. That 1st gen that pulled up with the chicks looks much better than that. Why would they use that plain FC for a commercial instead of a TII.

 

Hey thanks for posting old school vid's, I have been searching for long time for these vid's.

 

Wants one!!! That is pimp daddy status!!

 

You talking about wearing it or using it to re-upholster your driver seat?

Hmm. Maybe I'll toss it up in the for sale section since I have no idea what the heck I'd do with it. It's just been hanging in my closet since I bought the car a couple of years ago. The big question is it worthless piece of 90s trash or a one of a kind rare item with extreme value to the Rx7 man who has everything?

 

haha theres better ones out there just youtube rx7 commercial.. they even have the Japanese fd commercials..

 

On the inside of the jacket does it say anything about being made for mazda ie. an officialy licenced product? I wonder if someone had that made for them. Does the tag say where it is made?

That's funny. It just reeks of 90's Jeremy Clarkson.

 

I didn't see any officially licensed markings on the inside but I didn't look that hard. Though possible, I find it hard to believe that anyone would have made this jacket as a one off. I mean the jacket is pretty bad to start with and the embroidery is basically hidden and color matched to the leather.

 

Yeah. Maybe I should just ship it to him.

 

Someone had a jacket like that in the movie RAD.
