Are there any pictures you can post of a leather jacket (any would be fine, though I'm thinking about buying the moto or rider) using the washed calf? Pretty sure you posted photos of the washed calf samples, but I haven't seen the finished product using it. Sorry if it's already been posted.

Soju is pretty good, though I've mainly tried the mixed ones... like yogurt soju haha it's pretty weird but tasty

Beer + soju boilermakers are not so much a night cap as they are a sledgehammer to the brain, not a good idea. Soju is not a good path for me to take, I even drank a bottle of Iichiko Frasco recently, one of the better Japanese shochus out there (I think it is like $75/500mL or something; at bars that have it here it's like $250 for the 500mL and a bottle of run of the mill Korean soju is $3 when out), and it just got me drunk and acting nasty like any other soju will do.

I haven't made anything from washed calf; that Double Rider's in the black moto calf I probably can't wash. It comes in full sides (of the cow) which weigh about 8-10 pounds a piece and are 6'+ long by 3'+ wide, so I can't fit it in my washing machine for my secret wash

I might be able to do garment washing but no guarantees. For now, washed leathers will be limited to lambskins as that is what I can do.

I just ordered a bomber and I can't wait till it gets here. I ordered it without epaulets and lengthened the body by 2". I've always loved bombers but felt that they were too short so this should look really cool.

I just received my varsity/MA-1. I love it! It definitely exceeded my expectations for the price. The gore-tex fabric is really nice and soft and feels like good quality leather on the varsity side. The fit is perfect. I will post some pictures later on if people want them. Shipping was very fast, took only two days to get to me in Australia. Thanks a lot D! Everyone needs to cop toj stuff.

Ordered a bomber. Kinda went with an in between size but lengthened the body by 2". Should look cool. Cant wait till it gets made.

actually got to handle the grey sample last night...really nice and i think will be a great alternative to a standard black...plus probably easier to incorporate and seasonally friendly.

That's basically what I'm having done. He can't do a high collar like that though, it's going to be a varsity collar. But I'm not getting any extra pockets. I'm getting no epaulets and I'm having the body lengthened.

I prefer the ribbed part of the TOJ bomber to be incorporated to it though. It's hard to explain but pretty much the TOJ bomber jacket with ribbed collar and pockets like this:

It seems like a lot to ask and the collar is different from the TOJ varsity, it is more like a ribbed funnel collar but that would practically be the perfect brown leather jacket for me.

Awesome. Dis can you post pictures when available? I'm waiting to see the colour before I order. Hopefully it's dark, and looks awesome washed. Washed lamb riders on SuFu thread look dope man.

I posted the swatch (of the colors I intend to use, minus a red that I've yet to decide on and Fok's special request color) a couple pages back. The darker grey is not charcoal, I decided our grey needs to be medium'ish to give itself some distance from the blacks we have in regular shine cowhide, regular shine lamb, washed matte lamb, three subtly different textures for black. For the colors, we can keep them as is or wash the shine off them. I think for the blacks, wash vs unwash is subjective, but for the lamb colors, washing is the better aesthetic choice. I am gonna get a grey myself.

I have to order up the zippers to match the colors but I have to spend at least a couple G's if not a few G's getting the right pieces and because I have to buy each type in a 100pc set (my jackets take up to 4 different kinds of zips per color); therefore, it would be helpful to me if you guys even thinking about a jacket might express interest in the color you are looking at, between:
-royal blue (posted in the swatch book pic)
-green (same)
-medium grey (same)
-red (not posted, but a transparent cherry dye, as you guys would probably expect, when I say 'red')....

I've been considering getting a black or grey leather jacket from you (not sure which one though), but also curious to see what else you may have coming this winter.

 

[dizzhizz]

i just recall the grey being a great look and should impolyt be able to source the right colored zips for the grey, its an automatic win since the color itself proves to be quite versatile and the obvious stray from black.

hopefully we can see a wide range of winter coats coming from the toj line but i'll let impolyt provide further details down the line. i can assure that there will be a lot more to this label!

 

[Klemins]

do you think you'll end up getting different zipper teeth colors or would they be to expensive? I'm considering the black or grey.
