How can you improve on perfection?
Seriously, they couldn't do any better than Ralph Wiggum here?

Current and future news at the Temple of Jawnz: -winter varsity IS coming out, with snaps, and all that you guys wanted. To increase wether-friendliness and overall durability, the newest iteration of the TOJ varsity jacket will be thick wool blend, 90/10 W/N, which is a thick firm-feeling alternative to the typical cheap 60/40 W/N melton wool that you guys typically see in varsities. It should be able to shrug a little bit of light snow or flurries off it. Sleeves will be a nice cowhide this time, thicker (about 2-3 times as thick as the TOJ0) and obviously heavier, and then the whole thing will be lined in cotton-faced insulated quilt, so it will have quite a bit more heft and thickness over the TOJ0. We will get striped trims for a few colors and then we'll have solids as before, this time chunky ribbed to match the season. It'll be tagged out as a TOJ piece and then we can offer all kinds of custom patches for a small surcharge (maybe $10 for letters and then we can offer some crazy chenille scripts for across running across the front or back, numbers, sleeve patches, etc for assorted pricing depending on kind and size. Chenille lettering pathes available in Engish, Chinese, or user-provided logos or languages as well. -Wool coat series, as I said, probably 3 things. Definitely a pea coat and a duffle, TOJ style. We will get samples run up within a week from now. I wanted to ask people who own TOJ0's and 1's who have experience being caught in the rain in the cashmere: how did it fare with moisture? I am tossing around the idea of black high-count (20-30%/70-80% C/W) cashmere blend for all 3 winter wool pieces, but it depends on what you guys think with regards to moisture and weatherproofness. Cash is obviously incredibly soft and looks amazing, but can you guys take care of it? It definitely would not be a Pea for rolling around making snow angels in, but it's gonna be the nicest affordable peacoat you'll ever see, if we go that way. It will be subtly leather trimmed and it will be aggressively cut, just don't read that to mean 'cropped' because it won't be. I want it to be your next generation of go-to winter coat. I've been using variations on the same curved sleeve design on my short casual jackets up until now; the TOJ0/1, the leathers, the Harrington, those have all had the same essential curved arm block that curves forward and out. This time, with the winter coats, I want to make the arms really elegant and have them curve both out from the body but ever so slightly curved inwards as well, you will see what I mean when I show you the sample, but I like 'living' clothes that look cool on the hanger too, so the winter coats will have the next-generation of TOJ sleeve cut. It'll be slim but it'll be big enough for everybody to fit into their true size. -We now have the ability to make a lot more stuff too, but we'll not talk about that until we've got some of the above work sorted and underway. It's gonna be a good month ahead though. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Temple of Jawnz Varsity team: don't drop your soap
