The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.

@trail:
I love this. If I had seen this thread earlier I would have been in.
Can't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible to join today?
Jacket is funded!No reason other than I’d like to keep it a short turnaround. The Triple Terror Tour ended up with about 20 participants, meaning folks at the end have had to wait a long, long time for the jacket to come around. But one more won’t make a difference and seeing as its @Matty123, it’s cool. But that is it, no more. The Dirty Dozen is complete.
I also have a plan about what to do with the jacket after the tour which I’d like to discuss with you fine gentlemen. More about that later though as the footie is on

I’m in.

So I was thinking about how this tour might go. The Dirty Dozen are all good men, faithful and true, so in theory we could tour this thing forever, but I think I have a better idea. We're all sending our $23 to cover the cost of the jacket. For context, this is a $1200 jacket made out of French goatskin, custom sourced and made by Simmons Bilt. It is a jacket for life and one of a kind. I think we're lucky to be able to rock it for a couple of months. In my mind instead of being part owners, we're paying for the right to wear it for a while. The cap is at twelve which means two rotations will take more or less two years. We all get to wear it once, make our mark then have another go to see what has happened in the meantime.
What I propose is after two rotations we put it up for open auction here on the forum. Any forum member, including us, can bid on it and the proceeds of the sale will go to a charity of our choice. Something non controversial and international that we can all get behind. The immediate and obvious choice would be a cancer research charity, but I'm open to suggestions.
All good things must come to an end, and I like the idea of going into this with a clear idea of how it will finish. I should of course have come up with this genius idea and shared it with you before we all signed on, but I'm a twat so I didn't. Does it all sound ok?

That sounds brilliant!

I yet thought that this would be a good idea how the Mad Red Tour should end… agreeing. Thanks Reuben!

Thanks for setting this up ReubenThe genius idea belongs to @trail and arrow I'm just doing the legwork. Glad we're all on board. This is pretty awesome already and potentially legendary.

Great you are back @trail and arrow !
The MRMFE Tour!!!
Do we we really need some rules?
My vote:
Only the inside of a jacket can be tacked, until @trail and arrow is doing some Artwork on the outside!
We’ll try to raise some extra funds for charity with this jacket. -
Rock on, dudes [emoji869]
Really curious to see this jacket take a beating
