    I would have to agree with those that think it's a good idea with a bad price. Especially since clubs may not be able to afford this price just for "smurfs" when they could by cheep stuff for a fraction of the price.

    I really like the adjustable sizing, and wish my jacket had such an ability, so as my weight ranges I can still wear my jacket tight.

    Agreed with 'great idea, terrible price' ... I'm now feeling kinda inspired to mention the possibility of buying a handful of inexpensive denim/duck jackets at the next fencing session. Should be easy to dye, will be easy to add the straps to the back ... heck, maybe even sew a layer of (washable) padding to the inside front if I'm feeling generous. We're a small club with no loaner equipment but this seems like a good way to get started. Hm!!

    I want to dye my club jackets brown with pink polka dots, and paint a big U on the front of it. Good for practice, but people will want their own gear fast.

    I like it.
