Some information on the jacket;


Quote
One of the biggest was Guns ?N? Roses. Before GNR hit the big time, Izzy would come down to the warehouse and scrounge around for free stuff. One day, he found a jacket with "war?" Printed all over it in a box of leftovers. " Wow!!! I'll give this to Axl!" Axl's picture appeared everywhere with him in that jacket. Free press!!!! Pretty soon, all the rockers wanted Lip Service?. It was loud, it said something, it meant something, it was hard, it was cool, it was in your face. That was about a decade ago. Since then, I have gotten out of retail and put more focus on the wholesale side of the fashion business. I closed the Hollywood store and sold the one on Melrose to Red Balls, which has become a big success.
