It's not really a "model"... not sure if seriously worked up or not.

Does your collar stay the way you want it, even without a snap? or does it move around?

How does the whiskey lamb compare to the whiskey calf I keep finding pictures of?

And does it darken a bit over time with wear/UV exposure?

Frankly, not even close in this case. The Italian calfskin we had is really nice, and I don't know if it's still available or what. It was in very limited quantities. I don't know the answer to the last question but I'd assume the lambskin doesn't change much with just UV light.

Sounds like it is gone (even that extra bit of dark whiskey that turned up).... frown.gif

but if any more turns up before my order gets finalized and made...I'd be happy to take it off your hands

What is the light brown calfskin like (and for that matter, the medium and dark)?

Looking to order before the cutoff but can't decide on which...

 

I usually wear Number (N)ine, Ann D, Helmut Lang and old Raf with a bit of Undercover mixed in.  I'm stuck between the TOJ1 or MDR (obviously opposite ends of the spectrum) the reason I'm not sure as (in my opinion) a nice leather jacket is a lifelong investment is that I remember it being mentioned that the leathers would be back.  In an ideal world I would have both but I can't comfortably afford both before the cutoff date.  Should I TOJ1 and bank on the leathers coming back or play it safe and get the leather? 

 

Also random question, what is the 'artishard jacket'?

The leather seems like something that would benefit more from MTM rather the TOJ1, which is something that I believe could still fit very well OTR. It's probably even a safe bet that something like the TOJ1 coming back. The reincarnation sounds like it will be far more than even what is currently offered. The one thing, however, that you can definitely bank on is no MTM.
