This jacket looks great to 99.9% of people in the world. Artwork is excellent, leather looks vintage, and the guy probably paid good money to have a capable artist put it together for him. Probably has had countless compliments, and is known for wearing this jacket, exactly what was intended I'm sure. I can't help but think that the "mall jacket" has had a part in building our hobby over the years and still does. I sold 7 of my mall patches in the past week for 99- each. Think I may start buying used mall jackets and patchem to hell :lol:
It's a little flashy for us here, and a little nuts to put so much into such a novelty jacket I agree. But who's the bigger nut? This guy who's intention was to grab the attention of 99% and succeeded? Or the guy switching zip pullers, adding neck hangers, and re-stitching epaulettes on a jacket that'll remain inaccurate anyway. 99.9 % will never care or notice, and the .1% will have to be told about it. So I'm diggin the mall jacket lately and thumbs up to this one!!!!!!!

You are correct, a painted high end jacket could, probably would lose value. The art would have to be exceptional, and have a broad base of appeal, Maybe a well done Vargas girl.ausreenactor said:Adorning a GW, ELC, RMNZ or BR A-2 turns a $1000 proposition to a $500 certainty in a heartbeat. Unless the art is 100% spot on for the new buyer. Probably a wise choice in the long run.

Maybe you can get a position in a car lot talking customers out of power windows and stuff. When you're ready to sell patches and paint jobs, give me a call. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
