Question

Roses and Rinestones is a heavy metal rock and roll band that is about to go on a world tour. The five members of the band decide that they would like custom made leather jackets with the band’s emblem on them for the tour. The band makes an oral contract with LeatherCo to provide five specially made jackets with the band’s emblem embossed into the leather and each band member’s name imprinted on the jacket. LeatherCo begins the job by tanning the leather and creating a metal template of the band’s emblem. The band members then try to pull out of the deal and LeatherCo takes them to court for breach of contract.
