Then go and have it embroydered and see what they charge you for all those stich counts. My sister in law does embroydering, she told me that with all the stitch counts in those towels, they would have to charge at least $20 to do it.
So if you add the "cost" of the towel ($75), then take it to be embroydered, another $20 or so, how much do you have in it??? Plus your time and travel??? I'm sure Fountain don't pay that much, but remember they do these by the thousands, so I'm sure they get a quantity discount. No matter how you look at it, they're selling them to make money, if they did'nt, they would'nt sell them.
Did anyone ever price a Cigarette shirt??? You could buy 3 or 4 Fountain shirts for what you'll pay for a Cig shirt. Now that's a rip off IMO. Go price one of them and let's see how many of you guys complaining about the Fountain appareal would pay those ridiculous prices for the same kind of shirt if it had a Fountain logo on it. Don't cost any more money to put a Cig loco and word on it, than a Fountain logo and word. Remember, it's all in the stich count.

My wife and I have the same jackets, along with some of the leather racing jackets, and nylon racing jackets too. Sometimes when we go out together, she'll ask me why I'm not wearing my Fountain jacket, cause she wants to wear hers, and she says that now we'll match.
It's great having a wife that's supportive of the boat we own and proud to wear the clothing. I often see guys wearing Cig, Fountain, Apache, etc jackets, and I ask them what kind of Cig or boat do they own. Most of the time they say that they don't own the boat, but they just like wearing the jacket.

Sounds like your wife has a real problem. Or maybe you need to take your pants back from her.

Dude- Nobodys debating the wifes support on the brand of boat we all own. Fountain sportswear sucks! Plain and simple. As far as there jackets go- are you kidding me? Way too Cheesy for me. They do need to take a lesson from Cigarette. My 2 cents.

Maybe then you need to "design" your own jacket. My $.02
