If YOU like, wear it.

I ask only my wife 'how does it look' questions, since she has to live with the embarrassment of being seen with me.  Nobody else counts.

Personally, when I buy clothing I don't like somebody else's numbers and names and such on MY stuff.

I like it, although I can't tell the main material.  Looks like leather on the shoulders and elbows.  If the rest is abrasion resistant, then go for it if YOU like it.  If not, look elsewhere.

If it didn't have the logos on the sleeves, the patches and the number 4 on the back, Id like it a lot.

It sends a rather denigrating message.  Shouldn't you strive to be #1 ?

 agreed on both counts!
 
  I'll wear comfortable clothes to sit downs, and she doesn't like it, but all night I have to listen to her go on about sore feet because of the 'proper' shoes, or being cold because she had to look just right....

 Logos, I can't see paying a premium to wear a logo when the 'owner' of the logo is paying MILLIONS to have it displayed, pay me and I'll wear the logo, I ain't paying for the honor.

 Go to a gas station and buy a lighter, or something else with the station logo on it, costs more than the identical item without it???

 why pay more to use the logo, it's advertising, they should pay and reduce the cost of the product, advertising supported works for radio, TV, internet, etc, why not extend it to clothing?

 Nice jacket, but I'd not wear it.

ken.

Im not really into the big logo jackets either. I "like" alot of the Icon and Joe Rocket jackets but not with Icon and Joe Rocket all over them.

Im hoping the logo on the sleeves and number on the back might be coaxed off......but the US flag patches are staying.  ;D

If they wont come off...Oh well.......its got the retro look to it and I'll just add more patches to try and camouflage the logo. Like the Cafe, Ton-up, 59, etc patches.  ;D Then all I will need is some Chuck Taylors  ;D
