Default McQueen/LeMans Jacket Group Buy

Us Pelican Parts BBS guys are organizing a group buy for these cool LeMans style jackets made by Dakota Industries here in the U.S.

If you go to their website: http://www.dakota-industry.com/index-main.htm you can check out the Grand Prix line of jackets.

I am being told that if we can get 50 orders for these jackets we can get them at wholesale (50% discount).

They come in cotton or leather and are made for men and women.
UPDATE
Here is the new thread on Pelican Parts for the group buy: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...0&pagenumber=1

There are only 50 orders allowed for this deal and they're filling up fast! All you need to do is register on Pelican Parts (it's free) and follow Dane's instruction in the linked thread.

UPDATE
If you hate it that's fine however let's be nice. I'm not interested in starting a debate.

This all came about when I found one for sale on eBay (presently going for over $300) and asked around to see if there was another source for these. Sure enough, they are made in the states and retail at $191 for the cotton and $350 for the leather version.
Anyway, if we can get 50 orders we get a 50% discount.

By the way, I hope I did not commit a breach of protocol by putting this here.

If so I appologize.

I'm not exactly the leather jacket type but if it was good enough for Steve it's good enough for me. Soon as Pelican sends me my confirmation I'm in.

Knew Steve McQueen as a kid, so I HAVE to do this. Besides, I need something to put my HWFMR patch on.

Well this group buy is actually "limited" to 50 people. That is the max Dane (the organizer) wants to deal with.

we are rapidly approaching 50.
