Maybe they want to look like hip-hoppers...the North Face/Michelin Man style?

Medellin has always had ..... somewhat different styles in terms of clothing. I am not familiar with these particular jackets though.

I do remember when Medellin was kind of famous for these super tight stretch jeans that girls used to wear all the time. I have to admit certain parts of the womens anatomy were fairly well highlighted.
