As discussed in this thread.... http://mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=76325

Any interest in a lightweight Marauder jacket?
All 4 colors will be available and I'll have a idea of pricing next week sometime.


PLEASE VOTE FOR WHAT YOU WANT FOR THE FRONT AND BACK DESIGN IN THE POLL.
MAJORITY RULE!

The word mercury should be OVER the gods head

The word marauder should be UNDER the gods head

It should ALWAYS be that way.

You know, there comes the chance in life that someone may cross your path that can seemly handle just about anything in the way of attair to show off our cars and provide the most unique items when it comes to something you like---and I must say when it comes to our Marauders , you certainly fit the description--and be such a great overall person always willing to help out in any way----

Here again , you are stepping up to the plate and planning to put a lot of time and effort on your part to provide us all whom are interested with something that we are probably drooling over already---me included-----so carry on my friend--

and thanks for what I know wil be another great success product from your zip code---Tom

Is this jacket going to be about the weight of a wind breaker? Fleece lined or is it more of a Winter weight coat?

Perhaps a basic pic of what you are thinking would help.

On a side note I was thinking of a baseball bomber style. Body color would be car color and the sleeves could be light grey or charcoal depending on the interior of the car. with the Mercury Marauder with God's head as described by Doomie

Spring jacket. Light nylon with a lining.

Perhaps a basic pic of what you are thinking would help.

I haven't seen what products are offered yet. Once I find out what styles and materials I can choose from to make this cost effective yet durable, comfortable and good looking, I'll post them up.

Price factor will kill this project. Nobody will shell out what may be close to a $150-175 per jacket after factoring in design, printing, product, labor, tax, and shipping for a larger item. Higher prices also mean less demand and my discount of ordering in bulk won't apply.


So basically, spring type jacket.

I was given a price quote on the jackets. After printing the front logo, a large back logo, product, startup fee's, shipping ,tax and when its all said and done. This jacket will run a little north of $100 each.
It's the brand "Port Authority" which is the same brand used for the hats so it's a high quality product and the embroidering will be bold and perfect.
If 15 of you guys commit to it, then I'll open up ordering.
Its the most expensive item I have offered to date so I'll wait to hear what feedback I get before I commit to anything.

I got a quote of $75 a jacket just for product. That's before printing and all the other fee's. This may run into a $150-$175 before shipping depending on how many orders.

Sorry for a derailment Paul but if this were to come up in either MM and especially Trilogy, i'd by BOTH. Love that jacket Jake! But I agree with you Paul, there simply wouldn't be enough interest, and more hassle, that's why I am just quietly working on my own locally, especially with most wanting designs that differ from mine. Kudos to ya, I don't have the patience to satisfy anyone anymore.

I'm in for a Silver/"Deep Smoke Black" in 2XL.

If we decide to go with all black, I'm still in.

Can you post a picture of the proposed design? Is the "Gods Head" the one that's embossed in all of our seats and center caps or the gold "Gods Head" from the red jacket?

Hey Mark,
It will have to be embroidered front and back because of the material. The Gods head will be in the center and "mercury" "marauder" will encircle the logo. The same goes for the left chest on the front. The black and blue jackets will get white embroidery, the grey jacket will get black embroidery and the Red jacket I think will be black or something else to stand out. I haven't decided yet.
Bigger sizes cost more, and shipping charges vary depending when they are going.
If you are interested in this jacket, post up the color and size so I can put a quote together and work out what this will run after all is said and done.
