Dear Seller: I know that “douchebag” and “steampunk” are both 2-words that have been smooshed together to form adjectives that have come about in the fairly recent english-speaking history. However, they do not mean the same thing.
I guess maybe I should start tagging my pictures steampunk so I can get on Regretsy. Then I can start a thread on Etsy asking for pity because I got on Regretsy.
Wow, misuse of “steampunk”, “vintage”, “sexy”, “yummy”, AND “punk.” Someone get this seller a dictionary. They need to know that words do mean things, and that if you use words to tag an object for sale the object ought to have something to do with the tags. If I search “steampunk” and see this POS jacket, I’m not going to go “Oh, I think I’ll but that random piece of junk, now that it’s turned up in my search.” I’m going to be pissed at the asshole who mistagged it and…

@#3 Efit: It’s Canuk, with a “c”, and we’re not *ALL* fucktards! *shifty eyes* In fact, this seller is from Montreal; and a lot of people from the rest of the country would prefer if Montreal (and the entire province of Quebec) wasn’t part of the country anyhow.
*waits for thumbs downing from the Francophone loving Canuckleheads on Regretsy*
I went to the shop, to see what might qualify as “sexshop nostalgia”. Nothing. No upcycled blow-up dolls, repurposed dildos, or anything else to make me long for cheap, demeaning, desperate sexual encounters.
Oh and maybe we should give the shop a “leetle” benefit of the doubt as they probably speak Quebecois so they might be a bit uncertain about those silly English terms. Maybe Steampunk=punk, yummy=shiny, bottomfeeder=a kinky sex act (that must be where they got the sexshop idea?)
There’s no way Jordache can be part of any punk ensemble. Not even with safety pins, spray paint, Ramones patches, plaid fingerless gloves or Chuck Taylors.
This and the KaliMa coat should be teamed up as a visual sartorial journey through young adulthood.
KaliMa for the college days and experimentation that you did with the girls (and hey, who didn’t?)
Jordache because, no matter how nice the girls were, you really wanted to marry that nice cardiologist that you met when you were out with Nana.
Yes, the jacket is lame, outdated and not even close to steampunk…
Buuuuut, Did anyone else notice it looks like Hugh has a huge boner in his leather pants? LOL
July 16, 2010 at 1:31 pm
I’d be pretty steamy if I wore that damn thing during summer.
July 16, 2010 at 1:32 pm
“Yummy snaps”? Really?
July 16, 2010 at 1:38 pm
What kind of Members Only bullshit is this? Oh lookie! They removed “steampunk” from the listing title but kept it in their tags. Nice try, ya kanuk!
July 16, 2010 at 1:39 pm
What does any of this mean? (from their shop announcement):
“1980′s vintage clothing and sexshop nostalgia, costume pieces of unique quality, trash and pop items, jock regalia and punk shamanism.”
July 16, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Fuuuuuuck that jacket is ugly.
Preppy reject yard sale on Etsy.The name of the shop is ‘Bottomfeeder’. That sums it up beautifully.
July 16, 2010 at 1:46 pm
are the snaps meant to be eaten? i’m confused.
July 16, 2010 at 1:46 pm
I’m sorry, but I love the knuckle marks in the photoshopped one..
July 16, 2010 at 1:47 pm
It makes me think that he has extra arms, just waiting to sneak attack.

Do Canadians know what a muumuu is?????
My only issue is the stain that is haunting this jacket.
July 16, 2010 at 1:48 pm
this is the UNsexiest thing I’ve ever seen (Even with the stain on the front!)
And why would you do that to HJ, HK? That’s just mean!
I did it to Hugh Jackman because I’m jealous of his hunkiness. – BD
July 16, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Perhaps she confused the “trash items” pile with the vintage clothing pile.
July 16, 2010 at 1:57 pm
This isn’t vintage or handmade. This is someone plundering their elderly relatives’ closets.
July 16, 2010 at 1:57 pm
May the ghosts of CBGB’s burn this pukeshit fuckwear on seller’s front lawn for even suggesting that anything labeled Jordache could be punk.
July 16, 2010 at 1:59 pm
#8 I thought it was a man, too, but upon closer inspection I’m starting to think the model is a woman.
July 16, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Everyone knows that Members Only Jackets are way more steampunk than this.
July 16, 2010 at 2:02 pm
OMG, it makes HUGH JACKMAN look like a pussy! =-O
That alone tells you it sucks.
July 16, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I’ll bet these are leftovers from the yard sale her parents had last weekend.
July 16, 2010 at 2:14 pm
This is NOT Steampunk and this is NOT “punk”.
I grew up in the 80s and trust me when I say that this was NOT “punk” in the 1980s.
July 16, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Look at her shop. Find the man with the afro holding the purse. Enjoy.

Are Steampunk people replete with disposable income or something?
July 16, 2010 at 2:24 pm
whoops. that was supposed to say “mean the same thing”. ah well. proofreading fail.
July 16, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Do people know what steampunk means? People must be doing this just so they can get on Regretsy. Sad really.
July 16, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Last vintage jacket I got I had to explain how the weed in the pocket was my Grandma’s. This listing is traumatic for me.
July 16, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I think this is actually steam new wave.

Okay. I’m pretty damn openminded. But when you can see fur in a blurry picture (3rd one), it’s time to bust out the Lady Remington: http://www.etsy.com/listing/25478810/ladies-springsummer-jacket-by?ref=v1_other_2

The use of STEAMPUNK as one of the descriptive tags we can all agree is BS. The Seller almost redeems themself by using the tag BOTTOMFEEDER
BOTTOMFEEDER tag FTW !!!

I’m disappointed.

#28 Efit – Eeeeeeeeew.
If she’s too lazy to iron the clothes she’s putting on Etsy, what are the chances they’ve been washed?
July 16, 2010 at 3:28 pm
I’ve finally figured out what that loud, rhythmic ticking noise is.
It’s the sound of my IQ being ratcheted down several points at a time with each new not-Steampunk post.
Much more of this and I’ll start wanting to go to a Tea Party Rally or cheer for the Yankees or some damn thing.
There are worse things than cheering for the Yankees:) – BD
July 16, 2010 at 3:39 pm
“Sexshop nostalgia”? Finally, a way to resale all of grandma’s vintage vibrators.
July 16, 2010 at 4:02 pm
If Hugh Jackman can’t make this sartorial disaster look good, what hope does a mere mortal man have?
But more to the point, if you get nostalgic for sex shop merchandise, you are ever so weird. And Icky.
July 16, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Yummy snaps + yummy eye pillow = Cap’n Yummy (the heat’s really fucking with my head today)

Not if you’re a New England puritanical crab hammerer, like m’self.
July 16, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Maybe Steampunk is short for “Steaming Pile of Shit” in some craft circles and we just don’t know it?
July 16, 2010 at 5:05 pm
So where’s the sexshop stuff? Darn, I was looking forward to it. Here’s the guy with Afro holding a purse:

gYAAHH!!!
July 16, 2010 at 7:21 pm
I give the model some credit. He looks thoroughly ashamed of wearing this “garment.”
July 16, 2010 at 7:42 pm
dude this isn’t even remotely REGULAR punk.
July 16, 2010 at 9:13 pm
This is more chess club than punk. I can just see him waiting on the school steps for his mother.
July 16, 2010 at 9:59 pm
VagtasticSteampunkSPRHRO, what I love most about the Jackman ‘shop are his perky little boobs.
Or ‘boob’, since the other one seems to be shopped out. What? Jealous of his boobage too, Bronc?
July 17, 2010 at 7:43 am
She only has a 93% on her feedback.
July 17, 2010 at 8:11 am
I think the “punk” tag disturbs me more….
July 17, 2010 at 10:25 am
@#36 – The idea of not washing the clothes? Now that’s nastysauce.
@#51 et al – The fact that it’s not punk and s/he’s calling it punk makes it totally punk rock. Oi.
July 17, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Hmmm. Obviously this person has confused ‘hipster douchebag’ with ‘punk’, ‘steampunk’, or ‘something someone with eyesight would voluntarily wear’.
July 17, 2010 at 5:20 pm
There’s no way Jordache can be part of any punk ensemble. Not even with safety pins, spray paint, Ramones patches, plaid fingerless gloves or Chuck Taylors.

Seems like like anything with a little metal on it can be considered steampunk.

Great scott! I had to wear that kind of jacket at ´70´s and I totally wear no more sausage skin like that!
Hugh with electric blue vest looks like totally pussy.
And wait…isn´t there a grease stain too at the right???!!! What´s the matter with these people selling dirty rags outrageous prices???!!
July 19, 2010 at 7:43 am
I had this exact jacket. I loved it. I miss it.
**cries a little**
July 19, 2010 at 8:47 am
I’m pretty sure my Mum made me wear one of these when I was 8. Oh, K-way, had I known you were the cause of all that evil playground torment!
