Re: Yenko leather jackets
It looks like I'll be able to get 3-4 jackets to Tom Clary in time to take to the VetteFest show for display. I had hoped to have the total order of 30 jackets done in time for that event, but I didn't like the "sample" jacket so I made him re-do the fonts. The "proof jacket" had a couple very slight "sYc" and "YENKO" logo discrepencies, and I insist that this new run of jackets be limited to 30 EXACT replicas to preserve the collectibility. The proof jacket was very nicely stitched and the colors were dead-on with an exacting scheme/layout match to the original 5 jackets made in the late 80's. The "re-do" will cause about a 10 day delay to the original schedule, so I expect to be mailing everyone's order no later that December 10th. I'll let Tom decide who gets the precious few that will make it in time for Vettefest. If the 10 day delay causes anyone to change their mind, just let me know and I'll cancel your order. The main concern was getting an EXACT match to the original run. Believe me, the jackets will be worth the 10 day delay...they're gorgeous and extremely soft/supple and the silk-like liner feels like a designer suit jacket.
