Alright, let’s talk about that jacket Caitlin Clark had on when she popped up on SNL. Saw it, thought it looked pretty sharp, you know? So, I figured I’d see what the deal was with it.
First thing I did, naturally, was grab my phone. Started searching, pretty basic stuff like ‘caitlin clark snl jacket’, ‘black jacket caitlin clark weekend update’. Just trying to get a hit, see if any clothing sites or news articles ID’d it right away. Got a bunch of talk about her appearance, the jokes, all that, but finding the actual jacket maker? Not so easy right off the bat.
So, next step, I went back and found the clip. Watched it again, paused it a few times. Trying to get a good look. Is it leather? Pleather? Some kind of sporty material? Looked kinda smooth, maybe a bit shiny under the studio lights. Didn’t see any obvious logos jumping out at me, which usually makes things tougher. Sometimes they wear custom stuff or super high-end designer things you can’t just buy off the rack.
Digging a bit deeper
I started broadening the search. Tried stuff like ‘women’s black satin bomber jacket’, ‘black athletic style jacket’. Because sometimes you gotta guess the style category to find similar things. Scrolled through a ton of images on shopping sites. Some looked kinda close, but not quite the same vibe. Hers had a specific kinda collar and cuff thing going on, seemed pretty clean, not too bulky.
Found myself going down the rabbit hole a bit:
- Checked out some fan forums or social media spots where people dissect celebrity outfits. Sometimes you get lucky and someone’s already figured it out.
- Looked at photos from the SNL night, trying different angles.
- Even tried searching for brands Clark usually wears or partners with, thinking maybe it was from one of them. Nike gear is common for her, but this didn’t immediately scream Nike to me.
Honestly, tracking down specific pieces like that can be a real pain. Unless the brand itself posts about it, or a big fashion magazine does a breakdown, it often stays a bit of a mystery or requires some serious detective work.
Where I landed
Didn’t find the exact make and model, not definitively anyway. Saw some speculation online, maybe a specific brand, maybe custom. Hard to say for sure without confirmation. Found a few jackets that were pretty similar in style, though. Like, black, clean lines, sort of that elevated sporty look. Good enough if you just liked the general aesthetic, I suppose.
So yeah, that was my little quest for the Caitlin Clark SNL jacket. Started with seeing something cool, did some digging online, hit a few walls, found some alternatives. Just another day trying to track down a piece of clothing you see someone famous wearing. It’s a process, you know?
