Wednesday's post isn't really a post at all.
I am going to break away from the norm today and not actually have the standard rigamarole that you've come to expect. You see, today I've pared down the post to just a single request. After begging, borrowing, stealing and whoring myself out to an absurd degree, I have finally got kits to present to you.
Please read the following carefully.. Now before I begin taking orders, I need to get a fairly accurate idea of just how many people are legitimately interested in making this purchase. See, if for example, I start doing pre-orders, and only two people want skinsuits, and two doesn't meet Voler minimum, then I would have to deal with doing refunds, and that might just end up turning into a huge mess. So my initial request is this-
Send me an email to stevil@allhailtheblackmarket.com, or if for some reason that address wont work for you, captainkinevil@gmail.com. In the subject line, write 'kits' and in the body include how many of what style, and if you want men's or women's. I will then take all of those emails and make an estimation to ensure I meet the minimums.
Spread the word, and tell anyone you might know who would be interested as well. In a short time I should be able to begin taking orders. Once the process begins, I will keep the order window open for two weeks, and then at that time I will place the order with Voler.
The production process will take six weeks and I should receive the goods and begin shipping at that time.
Unfortunately I haven't yet been able to secure specific prices, but I'm guessing based on the samples on their shop that the price breakdown will look something like this;
Jerseys- $90.00
Bibs- $120.00
Skinsuits- $140.00
Maybe a little more, or maybe a little less. I should have a more specific idea in the coming days.
I should also mention that after speaking with Jim on Tueday, he let me know that they are currently super busy and was given a rough production slot towards the end of March.
I chose Voler for a couple of specific reasons. Yeah, they are more expensive than Champ Systems (for example) but their fit is as true as any company whose clothing I own, they make their product in America, and I am of the opinion that their quality is second to none.
And now, it is my absolute pleasure to present to you the goods;
Not too shabby for a guy who couldn't pour piss out of a boot even if the instructions were written on the heel.
If you would like to see a larger version of the design, I have it posted on my Flickr page.
I hope you like these, as they have cost me several new gray hairs, and will ultimately want them for your own.
Um.. The kits.. Not the grey hairs.
Thank you and Dog bless.

"couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel."
you sound like my 85 year old father. That saying came from the WWII Marine Corp generation along with, "tight as a dicks hat band."
Kits look good but could I get mine with extra Evil?
Order Up!

VERY NICE, Stevil. Love the colors. Socks in this scheme wouldn't be the worst idea in the world either, to go with my white and blacks that I'm anxiously awaiting. Congrats!

schwarzmarkt=black market.

oooooh.... they're so... tasteful? Yes! Tasteful. Tasty! Like a wearable cupcake. An evil cupcake for sure. Schwarzmarkt sound like a word meaning evil cupcake to me. Yes, I know what it means but for the non-Deutsche speakers, when they ask me what it means, I will reply "It means evil cupcake". Which really, when you get right down to it is a tasteful way of describing you.

Full Zip please! I can't afford to lose another set of bibs to crapping myself before I got the jersey over my head.

What happened to the G.G. Allin theme!?! I'm still down for a top.

Those are slicker than a minnow's peter (feel free to use that in a future post if you ever want to get folksy again)

These look great - I may be interested in the skinsuit. What does the collar say? "I'd rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in"?
Posted by: JOhn Z | March 3, 2010 10:49 AM
Nice! I'll be ordering for myself once I'm slightly less broke...

I wish I could stuff my 2olbs of jello (my ass) into a 5lb sack so I could save a some coin and order a skinsuit. Not sure your worth 210...Ah, what the hell; Bibs and jersey!

What chamois is in the bib?
Is the bib the Peloton or Elite?
Is the jersey Club cut or Race cut?
Inquiring minds need to know!

Bib and Jersey, pleeze!!
Posted by: captain clink | March 3, 2010 10:04 PM
Are you quoting the refused on the collar?
how is it that every other day you're breaking from the norm? wouldn't it be the norm then?
Posted by: ted chunksworth | March 4, 2010 1:31 AM
This stuff rule's! I am down for "mens" bibs and jersey. FULL ZIP please!! "Evil cup cake", Ha Ha, yeaaa!! Is Danzig going to sue me for wearing this?
Posted by: Tee | March 4, 2010 9:13 AM
so, on the Voler kits, the full zip puts a somewhat unsightly white zipper straight down teh middle. it's about 1/4" wide. the 3/4 zip is a hidden zip. i'll be getting the 3/4 zip.
Posted by: Chris Jensen | March 4, 2010 10:14 AM
count me in for a skinsuit, its a shame they cant be long sleeve for cx but i got arm warmers for a reason!
Posted by: kennykaos | March 4, 2010 10:22 AM
Ditto on the full zip its da bomb and has more Evil possibilities, unsightly or not, and as I see the 3/4 zip is white in the design and viewable. I only vote for a more manly or should I say Evil Blue? I don't see the order button in the BlackMarket, or schwarzmarkt, I'm trying to click order but nothing.
