Dope. In my dreams I'd replace the patch pockets with slash pockets though (with leather detailing of course).

I'd imagine you have the biggest Toj wardrobe of them all.

i believe the answer is zero

Nah, he has the CWU-45 at the very least.

Black leather is usually blue-black and so it reflects 'cold' and slightly bluish - but this dark brown goatskin will look black away from light, brown in light, and refract warmly.
I guess if the regular brown lambskin and calf is 'milk chocolate' then this dark brown goatskin is 'dark chocolate'

Sounds great Drew - have just placed an order for a dark brown goatskin collared moto. Already have a brown CWU-45, so it'll be great to have a different shade and texture. Cant wait!

Do you think this looks better than the existing TOJ duffle? y/n

Honest question.

No.

I like it, but I've never been a fan of toggles.

Is there any way to see pictures of this brown goatskin?

i have a feeling the black collared moto would work much better with the above... any thoughts?

Why do people get drawn to the CM so much? Just curious. It's among the weaker styles, I feel. I have already given my opinion on what I think the best makeups are, but it appears no one listens to me, lol.

No, absolutely not. If you removed the button flaps on the sleeves, you could have a nice hooded variation of a donkey jacket, but this would be an entirely different coat and not as nice as the duffle.

The CM is a safe jacket. It's something you could buy in your mid to late twenties, wear for ten years, and never really look out of place. The downside of this safety is it is a pretty boring jacket.

I have a brown lamb CM and feel that it's the perfect leather jacket. (For sale unfortunately since I started long distance running http://www.styleforum.net/t/281076/toj-brown-collared-moto-48-for-sale)

It is, in my opionion, the easiest jacket to wear. It's the cleanest of them all. I'm considering a second ToJ piece and leaning towards CWU/MDR/4ZIPDR but I keep coming back to wanting a perfect fitting CM, imo its the perfect mix of them all. It's cool as a MDR (without looking like John Travolta in Grease) and as casual as a Bomber/CWU.

Also, the CM looks the most basic and versatile of the jackets.
