The new official TOJ thread, 2011 - Page 1607

Haha, thanks peeps. All duly noted and taken on board (though I'm not sure what the gym has to do with anything.. I definitely do not want bigger legs!).

Oko, they did have me worried as I had not previously noticed the shortness in the sleeves as clearly demonstrated in those pics. However, on trying the jacket on again I've realised that I'm expressing my nonchalance by having just flung the jacket on carelessly which meant the back was riding high, thus pulling the sleeve ups. Definitely liking your take on the aloof/don't care look. I would say that I would try to aspire to that, but then that would defeat the purpose. I wonder if Joey Ramone gave much thought to his sleeve length!

Thanks Drew - that's interesting and good to know that option is there.Awesome jacket. It's the very awesomeness of it that's making me so OCD about the fit being perfect too. + the fact I added .5" in body length to Charly's sacred recommendations so I'm convincing myself I messed it up, but looking at the pics I'm more than happy with the body length.

My translation is sketchy, but this seems to say the "the goat will cross the road at 5 when the sun is the brightest". 

 

It then goes on to say how John Coppidge will visit the Oracle in the Temple Of Jawnz. The Oracle wil give John a murdered out TOJ1 and explain to him how to find the the goat.

 

Not sure but I'm pretty my translation is spot on.  

 

 

You can thank me later.

uh, no.,..

actually, it's just a wacked out spinoff version to Korean singer,Psy's Gangnam Style

whoosh right over your head

Moto 2011 in medium brown calf. I might be having a little buyer's remorse, so any second opinions would be welcome. I went with Charly's sizing recommendations except added 0.5" to the sleeve length. I think the body length may be too long.

 

It's pretty stiff and does not drape much yet, especially compared to the lamb. I'm wondering if it will look better after some break-in, although that wouldn't help the length. I've only worn it around the house so far.

 

The pics where I'm facing away show the jacket's color the best, I tried to capture the color well in natural light. Try to ignore my terrible hair and jeans looking weird.

Fit looks fine to me, try sagging your pants a bit.

im sitting around in my A2 bc I dont want to take it off. love both of my TOJs. The bball is a 56, Charly made an exception and expanded the size chart for me. I sent him measurements of myself and a favorite jacket and he perfectly sized both of these very different jackets. The only input was I added an inch to the Bball, kind of wish I had done that to the A2 but i think the slightly shorter length is appropriate for the style. 

Damn every time I see pictures of an A2 I question whether or not I should get one over an MDR.

Sleeves look a little long but only by about half an inch. Nice fit on both mike.

I think the A2 sleeves are fine once it gets more wear and stacks better.

I can't wait until mine gets here. Historically, TOJ packages get here on Tues/Wed, and I have a flight on Tues. It's going to be a close one.

The ToJ life chose me

why is your collar popped?

 

thanks, guys. I wouldn't change the sleeve lengths at all, I was wearing it a bit far down my wrist as I just threw it on, just enough stacking IMHO

it was really cold
