And now they’re all the rage again now (at least in some circles). Specifically Clark’s Desert Boots, but j.crew & the ilk have been carrying them for a few years now.

> How about [Banana Republic t-shirts](http://www.bellini.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/29836416251491640_usfjIxfS_f.jpg)? In the second half of the 80s, about the time Coca-Cola labeled shirts were also popular, you just had to have one of those BR t-shirts with the engraved wildlife illustration on the back. As usual, by the time I got one, it was passe.

Yep, I had one of those shirts. Bought it in 1989 while on a class field trip to Chicago. We were supposed to go to Six Flags, but the weather was crappy so they turned us loose in Water Tower Place instead. I’m pretty sure I still have it somewhere.
