MODERN SONNY CROCKETT

the modern Sonny crockett look

Miami Vice is an American television series produced by Michael Mann for NBC. The series starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as two Metro-Dade Police Department detectives working undercover in Miami. It ran for five seasons on NBC from 1984–1989. The Ferrari Testarossa was quite an 80s-looking machine to begin with, and it is entirely possible that it would have become the automotive icon for the whole decade even if it hadn’t appeared on the show “Miami Vice.” But we’ll never know, because the history of the two are forever entwined, especially in the case of this particular Testarossa, currently for sale on eBay for $1.75 million. Because, you see, this was one of the models used on the show.The car has all of its certificates of authenticity, as well as just 16,000 miles on the clock. We don’t know for sure, but we’re guessing it also comes with a Flock of Seagulls cassette already in the deck.
The USA Network later began airing reruns the next year, in 1990, and actually broadcast an originally unaired episode during its syndication run of the series on January 25, 1990.

They popularized, if not invented, the "T-shirt under Armani jacket"-style, and popularized Italian men's fashion in the United States^] Don Johnson's typical attire of Italian sport coat, T-shirt, white linen pants, and slip-on sockless loafers became a hit.
Even Crockett's perpetually unshaven appearance sparked a minor fashion trend, inspiring men to wear a small amount of beard stubble, also known as a five o'clock shadow (or "designer stubble") at all times.In an average episode, Crockett and Tubbs wore five to eight outfits,appearing in shades of pink, blue, green, peach, fuchsia, and the show's other( Colin farrell as the modern crockett below)"approved" colors

James "Sonny" Crockett (played by Don Johnson, b. July 29, 1953) is a Detective Sergeant of the Metro-Dade Police Department and an undercover detective in the Organized Crime Bureau, Vice Division. Crockett comes across as an aloof, laid-back, Southern policeman but in reality is a very dedicated officer who plays "by the book" and is tenacious to catch the criminals and get them off the street. He is a widower with one child, a son named Billy (b. 1978) from his first marriage with Caroline Crockett  that ended in divorce. He is the partner of Metro-Dade Detective Sergeant Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs.one of the best leather jackets around made by hub, maybe this could be a crockett item these days

Life before Vice

In his youth, Crockett was a "golden boy," a University of Florida Gators football star, once running a pass 92 yards with six seconds remaining in a game against Alabama, and catching the winning pass in the Gator Bowl, an act that found him being awarded the game ball. He later sustained an injury on the field which put an end to his sporting career.

Vietnam War

Crockett in Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon.

Crockett was subsequently drafted by the US Army at around the age of 18, and he served in the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) for two tours in the Vietnam War, or, as he calls it, the "Southeast Asia Conference". During his first tour in 1971 he met Danny Allred, an expert cryptographer with whom he served in Pleiku. At some point during his time in Vietnam he also served with fellow infantryman Robbie Cann, who would remain a close friend after the war and even make Crockett godfather to his newborn son in 1985. 
Crockett's second tour was in 1975, leading up to the Fall of Saigon, and it was around that time he met combat reporter Ira Stone, who brought him in on a conspiracy being run by a man known only as "The Sergeant", who was using bodybags containing KIA soldiers as a means to smuggle heroin back to the United States in the closing months of the war.

Crockett's experiences in the war gave him great sympathy for fellow Vietnam veterans, particularly those less fortunate than himself, and would always take great care to respect their dignity and issues whenever a case involved them and Macy's opened a Miami Vicesection in its young men's department.
