>>Does anyone know of a place that sells quality Healey clothing items like jackets, shirts, watches, sweatshirts etc.? My birthday is coming up and my wife is asking me for hints as to what I want and I can think of nothing better to have than a quality, Healey jacket,coat or even a watch<<
I'm in the apparel manufacturing business 30 plus years. Having been personally frustrated trying to find an attractive great high-quality embroidered club jacket, I've decided to have one custom made. If there is sufficient interest I will contract a limited run of them.
It will be a letterman-style jacket. Wool and leather, quilted nylon inside. The left breast will have an embroidered patch, either Jaguar or Healey (or in my case maybe both, perhaps one on each upper arm). The back will have either the Healey Wings logo or the Jag Leaper logo embroidered - approximately 8 inches across the back. Colors as yet undetermined. Probably in black on black and dark green/black. Cost will be whatever they cost - I'm not interested in making any money on this. I'm figuring around $200 delivered. To do a production run of jackets, even with putting the squeeze on my friends with 12-head embroidery machines, I'll need at least 50 jackets to make this work. Please pass this note along to other LBC lovers. Maybe we can do this.
Oh, one last thing: kindly skip the on-line discussion about protected logos, copyright infringement, etc. When the time comes I'll decide what to do with respect to copyright or license issues. This is a non-profit venture and I seriously doubt anyone would give a hoot what we do here.
