Jeff Bates – 2003 CMAs

It appears that embroidered jackets were a trend at the 2003 CMAs, and Jeff Bates was quick to embrace it. However, his design was far from patriotic.

Instead, his jacket boasted an eclectic mix of skulls, vines, roses, dice, playing cards, and more. The jacket was undeniably an attention-grabber, and it seemed like everyone at the 2003 CMAs was captivated by this trend.
