The thing is as I understand it, "You don't have to lose today, kid." You don't have to sell the jacket....so...simply...don't. Or, as has been suggested, price it at $2300.00, which I assume will freak out your father and is an amount his pal won't pay. So what.

While I don't have the America, I do own a Schott Easy Rider, which features the stripes, sans flag. The Vanson is the better product for riding, though the Schott is still a good, solid garment. I've never grown tired of the stripes but still can't decide whether the flag would be something to...

Do you by chance wear a size 40? If so, I'd counsel you to immeadiately put that piece of crap in the classifieds, cheap.....or you could just PM me.....
Oh heck yes!
