I met Jane Henson's niece or grand niece

[ronhallau]

A few years ago while I was staying at a small resort on the north coast of N.S.W. Australia the then activies organizer (I can't remember her name) told me & my mum she was Jim Henson's niece by marriage Somehow Muppets came up in conversation
She said she had a lot of Muppet stuff given to her by Jim or Jane including 2 Scooter style Muppet Show jackets and she said she would give me one the next day seeing how big of a Muppets fan I was, she kept her word
The tag has been cut or torn out that's the only thing wrong with the jacket

[ronhallau]

No, sorry I can't help you get a jacket I will take a photo once I get the jacket framed

Yeah because the Henson family has a stash of these they'll just give out to fans

 

[RKUNKLER]

MelissaY1 are you saying you can help me get one. That would be great.

No sorry, RKunkler. I was actually just being sarcastic, hence the sarcastic, eye rolling Pepe face. I just found it kind of amusing that since someone here was given a personal gift from a member of the Henson family you think they can get you one too.

But as far as finding this particular jacket, I would suggest your best bet is to try Ebay which I would imagine would be the most luck you'd have in finding one of those. As far as I know those jackets were only given out to Henson/Muppet production staff and not sold in stores...

 

[RKUNKLER]

I tried ebay and havent found it. Help

Well keep checking it out every so often. Perhaps someone will have one for sale on there.
