I'm looking for a Buffett jacket. They used to have them in the telegraph, but no more. I can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I could get one?

Just a thought.........what do they DO w/ all the stuff that doesn't sell in the catalog? Have you called around to the individual Margaritaville stores? Welcome to BuffettNews, by the way! :D

I called and emailed the Key West store. All they said is they dont offer any jackets and have no info on the past telegraphs. Thought maybe they would at least know who the suppliers were or the manufacturers, but had no answers. A couple years ago there was an Air Margaritanille flight jacket in the telegraph. Thats what I'm looking for, or something similar. Thanks for all the help. I've been a P.H. for a long time...just found this site....COOL

Is it just me, or has anyone else ever gotten the feeling that the people who work in the Key West store are NOT parrottheads? I mean, they're always so HELPFUL, POLITE, and PHRIENDLY. :roll: (NOT!)

Uh-huh...no doubt! But I found the Orlando staff really cool, maybe not PH's, but cool enough. Then again, the Key West staff is so cool it's frozen... :o

It is funny you mention this because last time my wife and I were down in KW, the staff at Margaritaville Store were really cranky. This PH was asking a staff member some simple questions about merchandise. You could tell it was probably the PH's first trip to KW so they were understandably excited. The staff member wanted to be anywhere but there.

This p*** me off, so my wife and I decided to be the staff's worse nightmare and started to ask them all kinds of question just to make them respond. Childish, I know but boy, was it fun!!

The Margaritaville in Orlando used to have a really col leather jacket. I'm not sure if they still have it but it is worth a try. Goodluck.

I must have caught them on some good days then, because they have been very courteous and helpful anytime I phoned. 8) They were pretty cool the occasions when I was there in person too, but that was quite a while ago. :wink:

I was there about a month ago and they still had the leather Margaritaville Tequila bomber. It was about $300 or so...my wife said no to that. Can you imagine? :wink:

I just called Orlando. They said they are adding a bunch of stuff to their online store in a week or so. The jacket will be one of them. I'll be checking every day!

I believe you will be pleased with the jacket. It's not cheap but there's a lot of color and it sure looks good.
