Viva jacket

jelynch2 · 20-05-2010, 10:24 PM

I get e-mail alerts from e-bay when things are posted that are related to Coldplay. I was so impressed with this jacket - completely hand made and really stinkin close to the original. I would buy it if I was in the market for a look-alike jacket that will probably never be worn by Mr. Martin again. Still, really awesome.

WOWWW! I wish i could afford it!!

Megalomania · 20-05-2010, 11:09 PM

Not bad, but all the members' jackets are a lot more faded.

Destrokk · 20-05-2010, 11:24 PM

That does look pretty kick ass, though I want Chris' for the soul purpous that he wore it

AND DUUT IT ZMUULZ LEIK HIMM.

Why you say that? Do you think he's charging too little or too much?

flickahidalgo · 22-05-2010, 01:38 AM

Pretty close, I have to give him that. But, 100 dollars? Really?

NumbersGirl · 22-05-2010, 02:35 AM

I'm not sure why everyone is gagging at the $100 price tag. I'm guessing the materials cost $20, at least. I don't have experience in regard to how long it would take to make it, but I'm going to guess 10 hours. So if you take off the $20 materials, that means he's charging $8 an hour for labor. That's barely over minimum wage.

I'm not saying I'd buy it, but when you break it down... it's reasonable.

jelynch2 · 23-05-2010, 03:13 AM

I totally think it's reasonable for a handmade garment. I think it's pretty amazing that someone could create such a thing!

Destrokk · 23-05-2010, 05:10 AM

I WANT THAAAAAT.

fauo_1995 · 23-05-2010, 05:14 AM

I waaaant iiiit!!

Phoebeo · 01-08-2010, 05:22 PM

Aww.. Its so pretty.. I want it :0

JillyBlue · 01-08-2010, 06:05 PM

There's another jacket out on eBay now that's even more expensive. To me it doesn't look as authentic.

Just in case somebody has some extra money lying around and is interested!
