Own a piece of the broadcast-core era with this rare 1980s WBRK-FM fleece blazer—an experimental fusion of media branding, tailored streetwear, and regional Americana. Made in Taiwan for Berkshire Broadcasting Co. (RN 55449), this piece was likely issued as staff merch or a limited promotional garment tied to WBRK-FM, a historic radio station in Pittsfield, MA.
Crafted from a speckled black-and-white polyester/cotton fleece, it features:
- A double-breasted two-button closure near bottom—unusual for fleece, evoking tailored blazers
- Shoulder pads and a notched lapel for that iconic '80s silhouette
- Two pockets
- A checkerboard woven label with bold “WBRK-FM” branding—pure postmodern flair
- Style code BFS-1341, confirming its vintage production lineage
This jacket is in excellent vintage condition, with only general fleece pilling throughout—common for the era and not visually distracting. No holes, stains, or structural flaws.
Whether you're a collector of obscure media merch, a fan of transitional streetwear, or simply drawn to garments with soul and story, this piece delivers. It’s wearable history—broadcast through texture, tailoring, and soul.
