Vanson x Supreme x Spider-Man?

I've been on this website for almost twenty years, going back to when we used to mostly talk about 1930s tailoring, but the tone now is so pompous that I wonder if I've wasted decades writing here.

For what it's worth, I've enjoyed your contributions on many occasions. Learned quite a bit from you as well.

I'm sure it'll find its market. It immediately alienates me with the logos; I wouldn't consider a racing-style jacket with all the logos normally, and there are some of the plainer Vansons that are completely out for me due to logos. But then I'm very much not the target market: this is for 'modern' people, whereas I have no particular interest in men's fashion post about 1960. The idea of the spiderman design on leather is interesting, though I rather think it would have looked much better on a cafe-racer type, and without any of the non-spiderman elements. For me, it loses something with this blouson style.... but again, I'm not the market for this by a long shot, nor, I imagine, are many of what have become the mainstream in Outerwear in recent years.

I think a version of this that was a collarless cafe racer like the Bones jacket would be ideal. But I find it interesting that they went for a NASCAR team jacket type of thing.

I'm assuming they're looking for a market with non-riders. I don't know enough about the US riding market to quantify that, but certainly here in the UK it's a lot smaller than the obvious fashion markets, which is of course the commercial case for diversification. I see a lot more of this style of jacket on the street these days (though usually not in leather), so I'm guessing that's what it's about. NASCAR is something I know nothing really about at all, but if there's a crossover market there I could see that being attractive.
