Oberheim Jacket

Remember the Oberheim Jacket? Looks like another one is up for auction. If you're name is Jim, this is your jacket. No title link, just the two shots and details.
Details:
"This silk, zip up Jacket is in AMAZING condition, and has the large GREAT Oberheim Logo embroidered on the back. It was given to me by my Mom's ex boyfriend in the 80's, knowing what a fan of "Jump" by Van Halen I was. I think I might have worn it once when I got big enough to wear it. It was (is) too valuable to wear out to clubs. The person that owned this tested and played EVERY Oberheim Synth between 78 and 80. He also come up with some of the great OBX patches, namely the Fender Rhodes, Farfisa, Clav, Square Wave Strings and Portimento Sweep. "Tim" is embroidered on the front left breast area of the black side.The jacket can be worn comfortably by a man or woman and I would say the size is a man's large, based on the size and how it fits me.

There is a small snag in the slik lining, otherwise it is in perfect condition."

via me... No, not me, matrix, but me...

  1. If your name is Jim, why would you want a jacket embroidered with Tim?

    A little typo there, Matrix. :)

  2. Funny. I was going to post "if you name is Jim, or Tim" but changed it back to Jim. I didn't get to that part of the description. Too busy putting up posts for you! : )

  3. Too busy putting up posts?

    Hey I have a suggestion.
    Why don't you put up better quality posts instead of concentrating on the sheer number?
    A day hasn't gone by where you haven't made mistakes, then have to go back and change them.
    Wouldn't it be less work to slow down and do quality work once instead of throwing up posts as fast as possible, then going back and editing them?
    Just a suggestion.

    Then it's hot. :)

  6. Anon, did you ever stop to think that maybe I don't really care when it comes to typos? I actually have a thing against those that do. Focus on the meaning behind things not the way they are communicated or spelled. I'm doing pretty well with that focus myself. There are better ways at communicating and you are clearly lacking there.

  7. M: Don't feed the trolls! That's how they multiply.

    Like the Yu-gi-oh Kuriboh.

  9. You have a thing against people that communicate effectively?

    I'm certain you wouldn't tell your boss or children's schoolteachers this and if you honestly felt that way, why do you go back and fix the typos later?
    Fixing them shows you care or you wouldn't bother.
    Big cop out.
    You're just lazy and make lame excuses for it.

  10. Hey Steve, can you direct me to your blog on the virtues of effective communication, spelling and grammer. It sounds much more interesting than all this synthesizer business.

  11. i don't get the dissing on matrix...he is just trying to help you out with the blog.....

    you're supposed to attack people on their grammar if you are having an Internet word war and you wanna hit below the belt....not attacking your friend while rejoicing in a synthesizer orgy...
