Vintage varsity-style button-up black-and-red crew jacket for Aerosmith’s 1987-1988 Permanent Vacation Tour, size medium, with red buttons, black knit cuffs, collar, and waistband, and the back area is embroidered with the Aerosmith logo above stylized text: “Permanent Vacation Tour 87/88.” In fine condition, with some light stains to the inner lining.
Aerosmith’s Permanent Vacation Tour spanned five legs and 148 shows and lasted from October 16, 1987, to September 15, 1988. The tour was the band's first since completing drug rehabilitation, and Guns N' Roses, notorious for drug abuse at the time, was the supporting act for part of the tour, primarily during the summer of 1988. Aerosmith asked Guns to not do drugs in their presence, so they wouldn't relapse. ‘I told those guys, 'This is my dressing room and, if you whip out the coke, I'm going to have to leave,'’ Steven Tyler recalled. ‘That was it. Then it was printed that we banned them from drinking backstage. Never.’
