you know the hooded sweater/jackets, with a pouch down on the stomach area, some have zippers some don't. Does anyone rememeber them being called kangaroo jackets when they first came out in the 80's.

I know the jackets, but I have never heard them called "kangaroo jackets" before. :confused:

I never heard them called kangaroo jackets. :) But it works! :p

I think I know what you mean too but I've never heard of them as Kangaroo jackets either. That's funny.

I know what kind of jackets you are talking about. I have never heard them called kangaroo jackets though.

well I checked at worked, yesterday, and all the 80's crew heard of it, it was like "yeah duh" so I said " I thought i was going crazy " , the younger ones didn't know what they were :D

I think maybe it has something to do with where you live. Different countries have different names for things. ;)

Hehe, I guess I still have one of those, though the term was new to me as well. It is a 10-year-old (90s! *ducks*) L.L. Bean job, bright red in color. I don't wear it as often as I did in college, because it now matters what my hair looks like after I take my coat off. Heh.
