Those aren't Mark Poons jacket. That's Kevinericon's jacket that he is selling here.

Oh right. Is he still selling them? Is the price worth it? $420 including shipping.
Not sure if he is still selling them. I've heard they fit snug but they look nice.

How much was he charging for them? I wanted to get a size small...the medium might be too big. I'm a 38/39.
I got a M and it doesn't fit too snug to me, just the perfect size! And yes needles, they are worth the price
Really comfortable jackets!needles1985

How hard would it be to apply this to the HC jacket? https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/37RDS4HV1DF7Y/ref=cm_wl_list_o_0?

Your link didn't go to a product. I will assume you are referring to some form of red draw material or similar to make the jacket more accurate.

It will really depend on what type of material is it. Some used hot glue for attaching the draw material. When I did mine, it was cast silicone and probably the closest to screen accurate around as it was made the same way the film one was, just I used silicone, not latex.

That does look good. I hope it comes with the pockets. What I don't like about latex is that , because it is organic, it breaks down as dries out. It basically crumbles. A gel glue would be fine. You would probably have to do it stages. With my silicone version, I can glue it using caulking silicone.

I don't think it comes with the pockets...just what's in the pic. It's $80 on amazon.

It is almost defeats the purpose of buying it then. You need two fronts (with pockets) and one back with no seam.

Wouldn't I be able to cut holes in the material where the HC jacket pockets could go through them? I think the is material actually one big sheet of the latex.

You still need there rectangles that seem to be cut out on the photo to lay them over the pockets of the HC jacket. If the actual sheet is a single piece, you will be fine. I'd be contacting the seller and asking the questions.
