New RMC Smoky Jim J-24

[greenc]

@ton312 you didn't hold back, wow. I like that you expressed yourself.

I just looked at it again and the center circle of studs is actually off center from the skull and crossbones. If you look at the four vertical-ish studs to the left of the circle the top stud almost connects with the bones, but the spacing is definitely not the same on the right.

Really, is it possible that RMC intended this to look very old-school home-grown as if someone did this at their kitchen table like we would have back in the day?

Is it possible that it's purposely bad-ish? If so, I still don't know if it's acceptable at that price-point, but perhaps I can understand what they were attempting.

Meant for this closeup to be attached to the previous message.

I was almost the first comment on this, but decided to hold back and see what others would say. Can't say anyone disappointed!

All I'll add is this comes across as new-RMC doing a pale imitation of the kind of decorated jackets TMC sells, and a worse version of the studded ones LW sells.

And that this is absolutely perfect for the owners and customers of Standard & Strange.

Indeed. While I’ll concede this garment might reach late stage level of the infection, the root cause is ever present….

Haven’t logged on in about 3 years but wanted to stop in and say this is hideous.

The description states that each detail is inlaid by hand. Therefore, each jacket will have an individual curved pattern on the back)

 

[Harris HTM]

So actually people pay 5k for this? You would have to pay me 5k to wear this monstrosity.

 

[Bennarion]

I think there will be demand)

 

[greenc]

@Bennarion I think you're right that RMC will likely have no problem selling these, but from an execution standpoint they don't look nice.

I would assume that the imperfection is intentional. Perfect imperfection, so to speak. If I were into studs and that kind of jacket style, I would probably prefer the imperfect version.
But since I wouldn't wear the jacket even if it were a gift, the question doesn't arise.

Das ist für Doofe, Babytotenkopf und dann der Name !
Abgelehnt !

 

[Trouser Bark]

That's for stupid, baby skull and then the name! Rejected !

Yeah! That's what I was going to say!

It's a revolting jacket and says little more than that the wearer might be a special needs individual. Truth be told from a marketing standpoint it reminds me of that spiderman mess that was posted last month. Expensive trash.

I think a "special needs individual" tends to dress quite normally. The disease that leads to wanting this jacket is self-inflicted.

And there was nothing wrong with the Vanson/Supreme Spider-Man jacket.

Haha! I agree... except for the gross part.
