armhole on my jacket was too high, had to sell it. loved it other than that, but it was just uncomfortable. anyone with a muscular body has to do some serious adjustments to these jackets otherwise they'll be uncomfortable, especially in calf.

Leather weather!!

It's funny because coming from an MC perspective, the aim is to have the highest possible armholes in order to maximize mobility and minimize the shift of the jacket when you are reaching for stuff. I get bummed out when jacket armholes don't touch my pits.

yeah, i made the exact same comment. this would be perfect if it was a suit.

Snowman, your jacket is calf? Yeah rough stuff. In hindsight, at least for me, i should've got all of my jackets in lamb except my med whiskey. The high smiles don't bother me at the very slightest and I'm ocd like you. Bball, moto, and mdr all in calf bother me a little but i get over it haha.

Maybe bigger shoulder and P2P would help relieve higher armholes on the calf jackets? I imagine the arm hole would sit further out. I ordered a calf jacket and added a hair to both, and .1 to the armhole (from my bomber that is)

Yeah, that's what charly suggested (once p2p is a bit bigger you wont need all the space in the armhole)

I think a lot of the boxy-ness of Snowman's jacket is because its new calf and isn't draping, although I actually feel like the 4-zip mdr configuration maybe emphasizes it - while I love mine, I'm tending to wear it zipped up for this reason. 

 

I think snowman should get a 3-zip or artishard rider in black goat, would look great.

Calf seems like the antithesis of the snow aesthetic... all about flowy fabrics (and hair). Lamb seems like a better match

So i think im going to get a navy qdr. I already have a black lamb 2010 that i love. Is there any reason i should go calf on this one, or just stick with the lamb?

Y'all are silly

I'm sitting on my couch wearing a rick tee under the 4zip as I type this, feels good.

I'm sure Toj lamb is 1000 times thicker than my raf but I like the stiffness of the calf. It still looks nice with my usual stuff. It's a cool juxtaposition between the hardcore calf and more delicate fabrics. But it's all tied together with some sturdy boots. ...Just my own opinion

you're all wrong. snow should get goat before he gets another lamb lololol

I'm pretty set on getting a 4 zip moto. Which material is best for this jacket, lamb or calf? Whiskey or dark brown?

About 500 million noob questions but here goes:

Thinking a Moto 2011 2 zip or CWU - 45, want something that dress up and down, so leaning towards moto 2011

Material - what is the difference between them? Way too much to read here so if there's a quick guide / breakdown that would be appreciated. Ideally would want something that can get beat up and look even better. What is the consensus for the preferred leather if I were to only get one TOJ?

Colors - thinking whisky or brown? I have mostly brown shell so figure it'd match a bit better? Is there still the option for dark whisky?

Cuffs, can you customize this at all?

Also looks like I'm a 48 but may need slightly bigger armholes, is that a possible modification?

Would email TOJ but I figure I'd get more direct info here.
