So Marty McFly sported an awesome nylon vest in one of my favorite movies "Back to the Future". I used to have a nylon tri-colored vest/jacket with snaps similar to his. It had zippered pockets and zippered sleeves. You could zip off the sleeves and keep the pits aired out. I never had the sleeves on because I grew up in Florida, but it was a great way to keep partially warm during that walk to the school bus on those cool mornings. Cool mornings in Florida were about 50 degrees Farenheit. The bottom snap did not work. It was broke the first day I had it. I hated that snap. Many attempts to fix that snap failed. I even tried to put candlewax on it to make it snap. Not sure where I heard that stupid remedy, but was willing to try.
Here is a great example of a Puffy Orange Nylon Vest with Snaps:
Man, that one is in perfect condition. I think I may have to find one on eBay soon for nostalgic purposes.
Random side note: The Back to the Future picture above has FLAMES in it! I love it.
