The jacket aims to commemorate the aforementioned garment and the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick film, and features a design achieved using black [Cone Mills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/9rivet) 13 ounce bull denim. This gives it a sturdy design that is ready for almost year-round wear instead of only being suitable for cooler summer evenings to maximize functionality for fans. The VF-1 Ghost Ryder jacket is priced at $995 and is limited to just six examples, which will likely make it highly coveted by fans and fashion aficionados alike seeking out an ultra-hip outerwear style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Movie Sequel-inspired Outerwear:** Design and sell outerwear styles inspired by iconic jackets worn in popular movie sequels. - **Limited Edition Fan Merchandise:** Create and market limited edition merchandise for fans and fashion aficionados to capitalize on their enthusiasm. - **Year-round Functional Clothing:** Design clothing that can be worn for a variety of seasons to appeal to consumers seeking versatility and practicality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** Create limited edition, movie-inspired outerwear to appeal to trendy fashion consumers. - **Movie Industry:** Increase brand awareness and fan enthusiasm by creating and selling official merchandise inspired by movie sequels. - **Outdoor Industry:** Utilize durable materials and versatile designs to create functional and fashionable outerwear for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Updated Military Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l2b-flight-jacket.md) - [Superhero-inspired Stealthy Puffers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solander-batman.md) - [Stylish Technical Motorcycle Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-mulholland-motorcycle-jacket.md) - [Retro Mechanic Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greaser-garage-jacket.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Wool Varsity Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-varsity-jackets.md) - [Reworked Dance-Inspired Bombers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cwu-bomber.md) - [Fall-Ready Timeless Aviator Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviator-jacket-1.md) - [Metal-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-islands-metal-mesh-jacket.md) - [Salvaged Spacecraft Material Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martian-aerogel-jacket.md)
