The new official TOJ thread, 2011 - Page 1524

Has there been any progress on that illusive TOJ x Toyo MA-1? Also, oxford shirts.

Crappy pics of a black goatskin A-2 below.

Impressions: the biggest surprise is that the goatskin is basically as soft and pliable as the lamb, and lighter in weight. Definitely more luxurious than I was expecting. I think I sized it decently, though maybe could have gone a little looser at the waist (you can see from the zipped up shot that I am stretching out the ribbing).

Do most of you folks get your DRs shorter than your bombers? I wear my trousers at my hips, and my bomber just goes over the waistband (5'11", 23.0)

I wear my shirts untucked, so I thought too short might look odd...

Oh, that's me. Kinda weird seeing a stalker picture of me from the back...

I got the jacket (moto in bottle green with silver zips) just a few weeks ago, been trying to wear it whenever it can because it is super-stiff. It kind-of looks bad zipped up because the stiffness makes it awkward, but looks great unzipped, so trying to break it in a bit. I think the size is fine, though, since I got an ADR in lamb in the same size, and it fits well (on the slim side, but I like that). But the moto is amazing; got nearly daily compliments when wearing it.

If anyone spots me, please say 'Hi' -- I've got a blacked-out ADR, this moto in bottle green, first-gen peacoat in black/white herringbone, grey trousers, and one of the original ToJ oxford shirts. I should really get pics of the leathers & trousers, but been super busy.

Starting to get anxious

The evening weather is just about at the right place for my impending package

^You and me both. Getting a bit cold on the walk to work, could use some A2 love.

Is the Chesterfield re-design still being looked at for the real reboot? Or has the focus now switched to new peacoat/trenchcoat/labcoat designs? I remember seeing a post talking about the process (keeping the pattern mostly the same, upgrading details, etc) and then a later post where the actual sample did not meet your expectations.

Still haven't gotten a ship email yet...

same boat, same emotions. =p

Same here 8 weeks has turned into 16 weeks and it's getting cold. 

it'll come soon enough. my black goat moto showed up this morning at 7am via usps....I didn't even know they delivered that early hah

4zip MDR never dissapoints

So my brown goat 4-zip mdr (with silver zippers, no less) arrived yesterday.  Feels laid back and think it works pretty well over basic non-baller stuff.  I like.

 

Have to echo Johan, I was impressed with how soft and comfy the goat is.  Tried to take a photo in sunlight to capture that texture.

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

edit: - brad its brown goat not black - its really that dark!  brown tones are more noticeable up close in person.  I hope someone has ordered a black goat dr though!
