Re: YENKO Supercar Leather Jackets
 

Frank,
The original jackets and this "new run" of jackets were made in India. The "proto" jacket was made by "Red Dog Leather Co" in about 1988, whereupon 5 additional jackets were ordered as promotional samples for the import company, wholesaler. The importer sold product in large volume [block-orders] to distribution companies, so they wanted samples. Problem was...the importer fell upon tough financial times and never paid for the original order. These jackets sat for 3-4 years pretty much ignored as just "an unpaid order gone bad". In about 1992/93 the manufacturers sales brochure included a picture/rendering of the sYc/Yenko jackets and the 5 original jackets were sold to a different distributor [and paid for]. For some reason, it took several months for the jackets to arrive from India [the manufacturing plant ownership had changed hands], and the people that had ordered them just had to wait.

Now, as for Joey's real age...only his Momma knows for sure [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img].

Your right LV, now that i think about it, it was 1993 or 94, not "the 80's"...Although I still woulda cashed in my comic books and took a second paper route to buy one of these back then just the same! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
