SVX Jacket

About a year ago I bought the SVX jacket off of the cafepress site:



My friend's mom owns an embroidery business and I asked her to personalize it for me. I had her add SUBARU and the alcyone emblem to the back:



Sorry, they're bad phone pictures..but just thought I'd share!

Cool!

I've never seen one of the Cafepress jackets, and from the picture it's hard to tell, but just knowing some of their product (or how it used to be when I had a "store" through them) I'm guessing the emblem on the front is not super top quality or "professional store bought" look?

But the back that she did the embroidery on looks awesome! I bet she could do the front of the jacket witht he regular SVX logo and whatever else in that same pro quality look as well.

I think you could have a potential business opportunity there, or at the very least get some more work for her shop.

Also, collector value aside, that jacket is 200% nicer than the original official ones Subaru sold/gave with the SVX back in the early 90's.

I wouldn't say the front logo is terrible quality...but it could be better. It's essentially a circle patch with a logo printed on it. I can get better pictures later if anyone would like to see.

But, yes, the embroidery on the back is very good quality and she would be flattered by your compliments. I have no doubt that she would be more than willing to embroider any design for anyone here on the network, and the price would be minimal (I'm assuming).

You know what happens when you assume don't you.
