Help!

I am looking for a straitjacket. I did a search on Google and ebay and mainly found some band with that name. One person had sold one which he had previously bought on ebay. Any info would be appreciated.

just out of curiosity... why do you need a straitjacket?

 

[Aphex_Twin]

To name but a few (that took... let's see: 55.6 seconds)

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Oh, and the search term is "straight jacket"

My dictionary says it's "straitjacket", Aphex_twin.

 

[Aphex_Twin]

but the search term is "straight jacket". It's how I found it.

 

[Matrix]

Oh, ok. It's just what you used. Sorry.

Weird that you find more there than with "straitjacket".

An issue you'd like to share with us, Mr. Floppa?

I did both and there are some for sale on ebay but they are 'designer'... Leather and reversible and crap like that. I want like an authentic, leather strap, metal buckle, institutional straitjacket. ONE on ebay was heavy canvas but no leather on it. I guess if I keep checking ebay, eventually I'll find one eh? Anyone have a link to like a 'Mental Institution Surplus' shop?

@Aphex - I don't mean pictures, I mean one I can buy. I like the Hannibal one though.

@Riesstiu - Don't need one. Just want one. Wanted one for years but never really searched too hard for it.

We have an odd little store in Copenhagen were people could buy this sort of stuff. Old equipment from 19th(?) century Looney bins and the like, even one of those head-cages dangerous inmates used to wear.

I would have thought that should be obvious....

Whatever ticks your ticker, floppa.

Floppa: I'm surprised this issue took so long to come up. I have one, hardly used it. You just have to take it off me (and yes, it is very difficult to type)

 

[floppa21]

Bobgote, if you would include one jar each of Vegemite, Promite, and Marmite, I'd be glad to take the jacket off of you!

You'd get arrested in Texas you know

Why don't you call a mental hospital and ask them where they get their straitjackets from?
