We used to. Kangaroo jacket (AB) and bunny hug (SK) both were fairly common in the '70s, then kangaroo jacket kind of fell by the wayside.

In 54 years I've never heard it, but I'll take your word for it.

Bunny hug though, that's definitely a thing I've heard from people out of that PA area.

Well now I'm curious. I'm 57 and the youngest of three, and I remember it from my youth.

The kangaroo jacket one actually makes some sort of sense, with the pouch on the front. I have no idea what bunny hug is supposed to be, maybe there was a brand in that area with that name.
