COOPER&BURNETT Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 This is a very rare MIAMI VICE cast and crew rain poncho from 1985!This is from the collection of MICHAEL SCHULTE, who was a member of the POST PRODUCTION UNIT on MIAMI VICE for all five seasons of the series. This is now part of my personal collection.For whatever reason, either not many were made, or not many survive now. (I have a guess that crew members could either have a MIAMI VICE windbreaker, or the MIAMI VICE rain poncho as a choice. If I'm correct, most would have chosen the windbreaker.)This Turquoise Poncho is a one size fits all. Michael worked for MIAMI VICE in Los Angeles, (where it doesn't rain much) not in sunny, but also rainy Florida, so there's no telling why he got one.You will see in photos further down, that this was a gift from DON JOHNSON himself!It's big, and bulky, and a bit on the heavy side, so most likely, many of these rare items were discarded over the years.Mine is in unused condition.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 The sides have rubber snaps to easily slide in, or out of the Poncho, or be able to move more freely inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Wow - that is cool Perfect for those sudden tropical rain bursts:DI have a few DON JOHNSON crew gifts now, and some of his Christmas cards to the Cast and Crew. There's another crew item that was a DJ gift, that I hope to get someday.I'm not going to actually use the rain Poncho, as it doesn't breathe. Rainwear that I own now in 2012 is light weight, water proof, and breathes. A lot has changed since 1985! :)Glad you like it Matt5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cool item, that's for sure, but it's better kept as a keepsake from a popular TV program then actually using it.Once again, it will have a place of honor in the Museum.
