Talk:Duster (clothing)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure exactly where the duster regained its popularity from in the 1990's, but I'm fairly certain it wasn't from the J. Peterman catalog - the J. Peterman catalog was the fake catalog Elaine worked for on "Seinfeld." Maybe it was in the L.L. Bean catalog? -L. Greenway, Macon, GA

Actually, the catalog was real and came before the Seinfeld reference. See http://www.jpeterman.com/ PKM 04:29, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Can we get a source for the last line? Just because a video game character wears something doesn't automatically mean it's somehow a resurgant fashion force.

The line under discussion is this one, which I have removed on grounds that it's video game fancruft:

Recently, Revolver Ocelot of Metal Gear Solid fame has revived this style of coat in his unique style.

I understand from reading some John Woo articles that his movies had a majour effect on popularity of the duster. Highlandlord 13:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
