I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but my boss has a side business in which he sells custom motor bike gear & parts.

He recently got sent a sample of a rather nice riding jacket. The leather is supple as it’s been well milled, but the design is somewhat… flamboyant. I’m left wondering if he’s going to be able to catch much of the biker market at all with a jacket like this.

But then again, a lot of biker gear doesn’t end up in the biker market at all. A lot of it ends up in the Metalhead and Goth scenes. Which led me to think that perhaps some people here might like to get a look at said jacket, and maybe leave some thoughts as to whether or not they’d get it.

So the question remains, would you consider getting a jacket like this? And is it worth promoting to the goth and metal scenes?

And no, I cannot get you one of these jackets at wholesale. The wholesale one is already being purchased by me, for me.

   LMAO! “No, this jacket sucks more balls than a 12 year old girl from Frankston / Redfern / Fortitude Valley”

   That’s funny dude!

   It’s not a bad jacket, the colours are just a bit too much, which when you consider the fact that I don’t mind a bit of vibrant colour from time to time, is probably saying something.

   So how much are they anyway?

   There’s an actual story behind that. I’m hoping to get the general Suck more balls than a 12y/o from — thing takes off… then I can say I invented the saying, and no one will believe me… But I’ll know I’ve subverted modern culture in a way that no one ever truly suspects. Social engineering that the Illuminati will no doubt want to hire me for in their plans to take over the world for the Jewish lizard people masons.

   Somewhere between $300-$400 I believe is what the boss is asking for.
   It’s not exactly cheap, but the leather is really nice leather. And I say that as someone thinking about buying one of them, not a consumer pimp.
