WATKINS JACKET GETS A REVAMP 2012






WATKINS JACKET GETS A REVAMP 2012

GOT AN EMAIL FROM JIM WATKINS REGARDING MAKING NEW ORIGINAL SILVER JACKETS JUST LIKE HE MADE THEM IN 1977-84 ERA,,,TOP QUALITY SILVER RACING JACKETS THAT WERE MADE FOR ROCK BANDS AND NASA AND CELEBRITIES ,,,,ROCK BANDS LIKE THE BAND BOSTON,LED ZEPPELIN,THE BEACH BOYS,GRAM PARKER,NEIL DIAMOND,AND MANY OTHERS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ALSO THE FAMOUS BURT REYNOLDS RED SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT JACKET ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


HEY DAVE

THANKS

I DID RECEIVE 10 YARDS OF THE NEW SILVER MADE BY THE SAME PEOPLE THAT MADE THE FIRST SILVER. SO FAR IT IS SUPERIOR TO THE ORIGINAL SILVER. I AM HAVING A JACKET MAKE IN MY SIZE AND IF IT PASSES THE TESTS I MAY START MAKING THE SILVER AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME NO RETAIL. ONLY CUSTOM JACKET ON LINE.

THANKS AGAIN.

JIM
