I watched BTTF 1 way back in the 90's as a kid. When I first saw Marty in his bright red/orange puffer vest (life preserver), I thought he looked... weird, like really weird!

I understand that was probably the director's intention to make Marty look out of place, so 1950's folks would also feel the same.

Fast forward now as an adult, I think it looks fantastic and iconic. Puffer vests are more common so now it doesn't look odd; but as a kid at the time with no fashion sense, Marty looked straight up funny to me.

Did anyone else feel the same watching this as a kid? Maybe I wasn't thinking fourth dimensionally 😉?
