What are some 'numbers' (thickness/ price/ whatever a stubborn Chinese guy will accept as concrete fact) that I can tell my friend to get him purchase a pair of ToJ instead of an Armani Exchange?
Thinking I want either a DR or MDR in either darkish grey or ivory/cream. Anyone have thoughts on the best combination? I mostly wear greys blacks whites and a few blues and purples. I really like the idea of the cream jacket the most, just wondering about everyone's opinions on what will cut will look best with that.
Also, how long does the current way of doing things continue, before the business switches over to TOJ 2.0 (standard sizes, etc)?
Glad to hear ToJ is back up and running!

I'd prefer the darkish Grey personally, but perhaps Drew's recommendations are more useful:

Calf: black, brown (light, medium/standard and dark), navy, olive green, bottle green.
Goat: dark brown, black.
Horse: medium brown, dark brown.
If you want the best of the best of that list, I'd say the two green Italian calf leathers are insane quality leather, if you want something solid but not yet done before, go for the goatskins, and if you want the standby, black lamb of course
MDR, I like the 4-zip version, get it in black or brown goatskin, or one of the calf colors, or black lamb
I assume you are correct as it switches when they move to the new stuff. This is (as they put it) more of a cleanup run.
picked up an brown lamb A-2 from B&S, and I have to say drew, I'm really impressed. I've dealt with tons of rick, julius, and dior leathers mainly over the years and this jacket really does have excellent quality and fit. The construction is super solid and the leather rivals the best of anything I've felt from rick/julius/dior at quadruple the price point. what is the fur collar made of? is it actual fur?

I really like the idea of a white/ivory quilted 4zip mdr with silver hardware. It's probably what I'll go with on my next order. Edited by omgcookielol - 8/24/12 at 5:13pm
