for sure drew, not trying to stir any commotion at all.

I remember you citing difficulty in zipping up and that you also didn't like that people unzipped the bottom just because they could. were these the primary reasons for going to a single zip?

im surprised how easy it is to engage the zip on my A-2, better than some of my other two ways, and I think its because of the big YKK pulls.

Wait are those gunmetal zips or silver? I remember Drew saying he doesn't allow for two-way zips on the silver... which I really wanted on my 4zip mdr...

I need to see more pictures of them silver zips... keep getting confused with the gunmetal. Did anyone get a bottle green jacket yet? I know a few have already ordered some but yet to see any actual pictures of them.

^ the only silver zips I've seen on a rider or moto type jacket (showing the new pulls) is on that red calf moto. It looks exactly how it sounds. It's silver and pretty shiny and the contrast looks really nice with a colored calf jacket--the dangly zipper pull on the pockets appear smaller too.

As for the bottle green. I ordered mine on 4/25 and I'll post some pics (I'm curious about the material as anyone else), but it won't happen before the cutoff.

So has anyone else gotten pants besides that one guy who posted fit pics? I'd like to see them on another person before possibly sending in an order.

Can somebody post the Dbear quote from awhile back with the different zip colors exemplified? It was perfect

Besides the visual difference, you have to take into account that the gunmetal/black have a 2 way main zip. Also, it is my understanding that the silver is what TOJ will stock going forward and once the old zip stock runs out, they're gone for good.

I was torn on this same question, went with the black goatskin instead. I think it'd be pretty fucking amazing, though, and if they weren't going on break and removing MTO/M, I might consider ordering it after I get the black to see what needs to be tweaked measurements wise. And also to let my bank account fill up a little..
