Just received an email from LFI advertising the Photographer Hoody:

So much for the discreet Leica, taped over and in its bag-that-doesnt-look-like-a-camera-bag.

 

But at least it features a"lens cleaning cloth in hidden, zippable pocket" , so if my M is ever stolen there is a good chance that I will at least keep the cleaning cloth.

The design on this hoodie is intended as a form of economic stimulus. Here's how it works -

 

1: Photographer buys Leica hoodie for 119€ ($135 USD) - stimulating the economy.

2: Photographer's wife retaliates by buying new shoes for 265€ ($300 USD) - stimulating the economy.

3: Photographer wears hoodie while shooting, making him/her a target for robbers.

4: Robbers steal photographer's Leica gear, fence it and spend the money - stimulating the economy.

5: Photographer files claim with insurance company, recovers the cost of stolen gear, then buys replacement gear - stimulating the economy.

6: Photographer's camera insurance premiums skyrocket, improving insurance company's profits and shareholder's dividend checks - stimulating the economy.

7: Photographer curses hoodie, robbers and insurance company as he donates the hoodie to the Salvation Army who in turn sells it for 17€ ($20 USD) to one of the robbers - stimulating the economy.

8: Photographer buys a plain gray hoodie at Target for $20 USD to replace the Leica hoodie - stimulating the economy.

9: Photographer's wife rails and bitches at photographer for giving away $135 USD Leica hoodie, forcing him to go to the corner bar and consume numerous shots of single malt scotch - stimulating the economy.

 

It's sort of the economic version of the circle of life - or the predator food chain, if you prefer. :D
