This article is about a brand of clothing, for The Sopranos episode of the same name see Members Only (The Sopranos episode).

Members Only is a brand of clothing that became popular in the 1980s for the "Members Only Jacket". While they made other clothing, they were mostly known for their brand of jackets. They came in many colors, including grey, black, white, and burgundy. Their tagline, "when you put it on something happens", also gained fame.

Today, the jacket is widely used as a static reference for outdated apparel, as is shown in various television shows and other media. The jacket is often fodder for sitcom jokes.
