sploosh · Jul 18, 2009

I will see if I can come up with the cash. If I can I came up with what I will probably want:
BODY COLOR:LT OXFORD
SLEEVE COLOR:WHITE
POCKET TRIM COLOR:Navy
SNAP COLOR (snaps generally match body color):White
KNIT COLOR (collar, cuffs, hem):Navy
STRIPES ON KNIT TRIM? Yes
STRIPE STYLE (Single, Double, Triple; feathered or not)Single
STRIPE COLOR(S):White

Sound good?

if you go by the info on this link, a 34 would be:

body width: 52 cm
sleeve length:\t86 cm
body length: 62 cm

some questions:
1) are there options for lining color?
2) for the feathered stripes, do we get to pick all 3 colors? or does the "border" color come in black by default?

anyone know of any labels that use their sweaters? I'm assuming you can't buy directly from them.

both EG and Woolrich have used their product in the past.

If this goes smoothly I'd be happy to do a cardi run. (Or if someone else wants to, go ahead! I dunno what the minimum is on those.)

Says it's made by Centralia, so I'm guessing... probably!

It's my impression that the pricier japanese jackets source their own fabric--I've followed up on a couple of special requests and been told they don't stock melton colors other than the ones I posted. That jacket seems to be hunter melton w/ brown leather, and hunter is not on the swatch sheet. I think forest might be close, but probably too green to really replicate that jacket.

Sorry the swatch sheet photos are mediocre, I got my camera back today and I may be able to take a natural light pic or two soon.

I actually want a really loud one. Like bright pink and white.

EDIT: So which model of jacket is this? Is there a picture of the barebones one we'll be customizing?

This would be great. Kind of hard to see what the darker colors really look like

This jacket is pretty close--except we'll have snaps rather than buttons. You can choose, as isn the order form, body color, sleeve color, trim color, pocket trim color, snap color, and stripes/no stripes on the collar/cuffs/hem. FWIW there's no pink.

Thanks to Nathan at Farinelli's for taking these pics of the swatches. The darker colors are still hard to see, I'll see if I can get higher res shots up maybe this weekend.

When do you think the first customers will start receiving their jackets?

Assuming we get the order in in early August,

They should be in in September. Note that the deal is not that we're passing orders through one by one--we're getting an order together and making it--one time.

Good to see you on board

They don't give pantone equivalents but I can try and match them on my pantone guide. Maybe this weekend.
