I am on board with Handymike. I have a bunch of skull images now on my computer that perhaps I can share here and have a vote. Also i have a hand sketch I did of the profile image that does not look as menacing. I personally prefer the profile although some of the straight view skull images are pretty cool.

****REVIVING THREAD***
I went to Inspiration and spent awhile talking with the Dehen reps.
They are releasing a black Jersey with black/grey striped sleeves for Fall 2017!
Gents, we are in luck. :)
The upshot of the Jersey is that it is the same as the sweater minus the tight/wide waistband. This makes it a great choice for me...
I know it's not vintage correct, but I'm not 20 anymore.
The reps said it was lighter weight than the sweater, but not by very much- still a significant piece.
For design, I suggest something more like one of these:

Even if we can't decide on a skull, We should bulk order these jerseys plain (w/o patch) for the discount!!!!!

The jersey with striped sleeves of any color combo was a already an option for us. I haven't checked with Langlitz yet about the buy in, waiting a few months until it gets closer to order time (if we get enough).

I wasn't overly optimistic about our numbers however.

I could go either way on the skull.

Again, can we get a specific image of a specific jersey with a single, specific skull design that we can vote on?
I can't figure out what is proposed. I appreciate your passion and the time you're putting in, but I want to know
what I'm going to get. Is the skull a patch? What's it made of? What texture will it have? Thanks!

I am not changing the design of the skull at this point. Once we get closer we can look at a few designs and open it to a vote of those that are buying in. I don't have the photoshop skills to make a bunch of mock ups, if someone else does please feel free to do so.

Another option, as Mike suggests, would be to order the plain (no patch) jerseys with no patch.

I'm 100% in for plain at $100 savings!
Maybe w/o patch would offer more appeal.
Thinking further...If all colorways are on the table, why not Black body with Olive and Black striped sleeves?
That would make it unique to this order.
Repackage the project as the TFL/Dehen Moto Jersey.

Folks, how is this going? Has an order been placed?

If not, count me as IN. I'm interested in a black/grey striped sleeved Dehen MC sweater, with or without the felt skull patch. Let me know if I'm not too late! Cheers!

Dehen prices are eye watering, but the quality is top notch. I can see why the original board racer riders thought they might protect them (they're tough, but not *that* tough). Personally, I'd quite like the waist band - it's a look I think I could rock - but if there's an opportunity for some lower cost Dehen, I'm willing to sacrifice it.
