I know where you're coming from Rick but the jacket didn't cost Johnny anything and the mag is about high fashion not sentimentality or true intrinsic worth and values. He wants a living in that industry and this is a worthwhile experience and perhaps valuable contacts for him. Don't know if he got paid but if he did then that's money for the fam on top of his skating earnings so I say more power to him! btw I love the word poncey! Must remember it.
