Trivia

The Jacket held the record for the highest circulation of any item in Torn for almost 20 years, with over 160 million jackets in the game as of March 2023. This was due to Jacket shoplifting being popular in Crimes 1.0 as it could not send players to the Jail or Hospital. However, the Bottle of Beer surpassed the jacket shortly after the number of beers that restocked at Bits 'n' Bobs was greatly increased after the release of Crimes 2.0. The jacket is still a common item to collect, with some players owning millions.
