Aww guys...that's that counterfeiter in Thailand! Not to rain on your parade, but he has no licensing from Castrol, JCW, Sparco- Let alone MINI or BMW.

I can imagine what would happen to me (or another US vendor) if I blatantly ripped off the MINI wings EXACTLY and all those other logos. Please don't support this guy. I don't care if you never buy anything that I make, but this is exactly what has ruined many of our own US industries-the $39 dollar jacket that cost the guy about $2 to make. This is blatant trademark infringement and undoubtedly sweatshop/slave labor at work that eBay will do nothing about. Look at all of his other listings. Rip -offs.

I wish JCW would do something about this. For the love of John Cooper...please!

I do buy things you make. I have a 45th anniversary shirt with the Union Jack Skull(actually two) and I have a couple Dragon hats on order.

Bless you,

I thank you and my dog with the $700 vet bill thanks you. Here's a little insight into what it would cost me to make that jacket in the US.

If I had to guesstimate sleeve length 33 to 34 inches.

I wear a 35" sleeve and hate jackets that have sleeves too short, how is the length of the sleeves on this jacket on you? Thanks.

I don't know about the smaller sizes, but I'm wearing a XXXL one, the body fits nicely, the sleeves are certainly not too short. If anything, they could be shortened by 1/2" to an inch.

You should be fine with a sleeve length of 35 inches. Mine is just right to a little long. (if that makes any sense ) You should be fine with an XL

Quote: Thanks Agro for the picture - I, too have just got the red jacket pictured in this thread -

- I ' m very pleased with the quality and the shipping speed and the embroidery is great - will wear it in the fall and winter and perhaps in June, when we get up at 5 am for the Cadillac mountain, Maine sunrise drive from Bar Harbor !

Anyone buying needs to get a size or two larger - I'm 42 chest and I got an XXL

Thanks
Graham
If anyone needs a XXL please order the XXXL and I will swap... and pay your shipping to me! I like the XXL but would like just a little bit more room.

My Jacket arrived today (the red one) and I am soooooo pleased with it. Lucky I got a size bigger than what I usually take, because their sizes are all off. BUT THE JACKET IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Highly recommend it. (Regarding the license fees etc, and not suporting people like this etc etc, sparco, jcw, castrol, mini, have not lost ANY money by me buying this product so it is ok with me)....

I got the black MINI Jacket. I take a 44 long suit jacket and usually buy XL. I ordered the XXL in this jacket and it fits perfectly. I was very presently surprised by the quality of the product. It is very nice. The coat is fairly heavy so it will be useful on all but the coldest days. Probably too warm for temperatures above 50 or so Farenheit.

Got mine today and am very impressed with the quality. I take a 42L and got the XXL and am very happy with it. One thing I don't like is that the zipper is left-handed. I do wish they offered more color choices.

I intend to add a few of my own patches.

I'm not concerned that the big corporate sponsors didn't get their tithe, they're getting free advertising. I like the jacket style better than those offered by the NAM vendor.
