A little insight. First, we did not decorate this sweat. My friend oversaw the production. The leather had to be ultra soft in order to handle the sewing machines thus imported from Europe. Those pieces were individually hand cut using patterns in NYC. The pieces were shipped offshore and sewn on some tricked out "embroidery" machines on super weight fleece. Laser alignment screen print for foil adhesive, then heat sealed. Long slv decoration on both sleeves, left chest, and full back. Oh and hood decoration, all using same technique. Anyone care to guess retail cost?
