Ha, don't get your hopes up.

I'm thinking of ordering a jacket from these guys. Yes, the bat one, I'm a hard core fan since the 60's.

The store has over 9000 feedback so that looks good and the price is good, even shipped to Canada.

Has anybody here ordered from them? Or seen the product?

You might want to swap out the spine armor for some quality CE approved stuff but otherwise looks pretty well made -- don't know the vender though, sry.

Let me know if you get the jacket. I am interested in the quality as they just might have the leather pants I have been searching for.

If they get a Incredible Hulk jacket then I will have to buy a Kawasaki.

wonder why its so cheap? any comparable leather (Joe Rocket, Alpinestars, H-D) which is usually even thinner material, costs twice as much.

i like it tho! have always been a Batman fan too. i really dig the most recent big screen iterations.

if you order, please update with info!

I wonder just how much one is paying the above companies for the name and $$ they spend on marketing.

It's called "cosmetic pricing". If they charge less, the consumer won't buy it.

Icon is a US company, Joe Rocket is Canadian. I would give the nod to Joe but the reality is both their products are made off-shore.

The "Bat" jacket, according to reviews, is made in Pakistan.

I would rather buy it from buddy down the street, but he can't even buy leather from North America anymore. I don't think he'd even try to make a jacket.

No, clothes have about the biggest markup of any product.

Best quality, lowest price and, hopefully, some money going back into our community. Oh well, two out of three.

So, before this gets too politically charged, remember, all I'm really after is does anybody know of this company, Leather Paradise, and this product?
