The Format is the Arizona band built around singer Nate Ruess and multi-instrumentalist Sam Means.

Ruess later reached a wider audience with fun., but the Format’s records retain their own identity through the musical partnership at their center.
The Holy Roller Skater Jacket celebrates The Format’s long awaited return with a bold piece built around color, symbolism, and movement. Crafted from a lightweight, water resistant shell in vibrant kelly green, the jacket features a classic coaches silhouette with snap front closure, welt hand pockets, and elasticized cuffs.
