AMG Jacket

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AMG-B...ayphotohosting

This looks like a nice jacket from a distance (i.e., the Internet) but is there really such a thing as the D2 Mercedes Racing Team or is this a case of just a bunch of random unlicensed logos stuck onto a cheap coat?

Anyone have this jacket or ordered from this outfit before?

Jacket looks hideous. Who would wear that kind of stuff. One step up from the guy with mullet wearing the Chevrolet Nascar jacket....

You dissin my haircut and my future middle of summer coat? I'll have you know I got dozens of compliments on my mullet as I stepped out of my IROC Z, Philly cheese steak in hand, at the rodeo last night. Them's fightin words around here.

Seriously, don't all racing jackets look kind of "busy" like this? Guess you have to like racing jackets, which I suppose I do.

Okay, I ordered one of these and so now we'll see how it turns out.

This eBay stuff can be an adventure. First purchase I ever made there turned out to be counterfeit goods.

I have a Team McLaren Mercedes fleece jacket that I wear to class almost every day, given that I've been watching F1 since I was a little kid.

Sounds cool Kev, post a pic if you have one. I like this kind of stuff that's a bit out of the ordinary in the U.S. -- nothing wrong with plain leather jackets and coats with the logo of the last Super Bowl winning team, but there's something to uniqueness.

cntlaw, I like that logo (the "Affalterbach" with cherry tree and toilet/plunger (or whatever that is)) too. You might e-mail the owner of the site at entireshop@hotmail.com to see if he makes t-shirts as well.

Just got the jacket today in the mail, 13 days after the order (well, I guess Thailand is not as close to California as most places on this planet) and must say I'm pleasantly surprised.

All of the logos are emroidered, not lousy stickers. The colors are bright and attractive. The exterior feels like a cotton/poly mix, soft to the touch but not too "shiny." The interior is poly (feels like nylon, but a bit softer). The sizing runs a bit small (glad I ordered XXL).

There are two unzippered side pockets on the outside and a small zippered inside breast pocket. The zippers seem to be pretty poor quality but the stitching is nicely done.

There are no interior labels of the kind that describe materials and cleaning instructions. I'm assuming it's somewhere between "dry clean only" and "don't bother - disposable".

All in all, not the quality you would expect of something bought directly from MB, but a successful AMG-related purchase on eBay.

Will try to scare up a supermodel around here to model it for you guys in pics.

Oh, and I'm sure you will be eager to hear that shipping was 534 Baht.

They need 10 more logos.
