I recently bought all the items here separately before this was released and I have to say this is a
deal. Normally a straight jacket is $150 on it's own, and the Dixie Dooley DVDs are in the ball park
of $100 so you're getting one hell of a deal.

I have received my Escape Jacket PRO just a few hours ago. Unfortunately the straps of the jacket
are already wearing out after only 5 times of practice.
I think that is because the belt loops
of the straps are just to narrow for the straps to fit through smoothly.
That's a shame because
the overal look of the jacket is amazing.

This is a costume jacket that by itself would run you almost the cost of this package. The straps
aren't the strongest--one of mine split apart when i was working on them as described in the video,
but a little glue will take care of that. Here's what I think: if you've never been in or tried to
escape from a straight jacket before, get this. Dan Harlan shows you how to work with the jacket,
and gives great tips for drama and show for the escape. It will take some practice. For the price,
there is no better entry-level product you can get to try it on and see if this is really what you
want to add to your set. I had a discussion with a peer who does escapes. He says he's seen
better, and so have I, but I think this is the route you need to take if you want to get started in
jacket escapes. All I can think is that I COULD have spent significantly more on a fancy
high-dollar jacket and tried to figure it out before giving up and never using it. Dan Harlan's
video walks you through the process. What I'll be doing is adding this to my set with THIS jacket
for a year or so, and then maybe after I wear it out, I'll get another one just like this (with
better leather straps).

This package is easily one of the best values to be found concerning straightjacket work. I have
been doing the escape for over a decade - have 3 Posey jackets - and bought this one partly to see
if the actual jacket was as good as it appeared (it is) and also to get Harlans insight into the
subject.
One of my favorite penguin purchases. Dan, loved the download.

What a great price! The jacket alone would worth 100$. Escapology DVD set is also worth 100$. You
also receive an instrution DVD and a download video starring Dan Harlan. The jacket DVD is not
worth much but Dan's download is fantastic. A lot of tips. The reason I don't give a 5 stars is
because I received a defect Jacket. The buckle on the right sleeve is installed on the wrong
side... Must twist the sleeve or go see a shoemaker to repair this... This may be the real reason
why this is so a great deal... who knows...
