Wife found this brand new embroidered jacket at Goodwill today for only $8.00 and it's 3x so it fits perfectly!
Just checked Game Sportswear Ltd the Mfg [ Made in the USA ] and list on the jacket without embroidery is $74.00,

Does that include Dodge Forum Products, or say, Harley Davidson's multi-million dollars worth of endorsed products, oh and all the beer endorsement products? Ain't this a great country, we can wear what we want where we want!

Opinions are like, well you get it!

Yes, it includes all of those items. And you are right, land of the free.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it's a very high quality product, especially for $8 dollars.... I would have bought it too. The problem is that everyone will think you spent $74 on it. I'm simply suggesting the most appropriate places to wear such an item. Too bad it wasn't a Pontiac jacket. You could have gone to the halloween party as The Bandit, or Stroker Ace. $8 is cheap for a high quality costume.

Great find!

mprohr what's wrong with wearing something that has a dodge logo, hd logo, etc on it? Most of the clothing I see people wearing has brand logos plastered all over it. I'd much rather be repping Dodge or Harley Davidson than Abercrombie or Hollister...

I'm not a logo guy, that's all. I'm 34, raised suburban gen-x grunge, and anti-branding on cloths. My favorite hat has a tiny Nike logo on it...and I hate it, but it won't come off. This jacket, IMO, represents a certain "personality". This jacket, tight pants, open shirt, gold chain, Polo cologne. Don't get me wrong, if I ran to you wearing this, I'd probably slap you on the back and buy you a beer for being a fellow Dakota enthusiast....then I'd walk away thinking "Good guy, but can you believe he wears that in public". Other than that hat, I do not own a single item that advertises anything.

You asked, now procede with the hate mail I can take it.
