The new official TOJ thread, 2011 - Page 1769

Ok, so

1. Does the thin deerskin mean you'll be making gloves in the foreseeable future? If so, i'll suspend my search for a pair and wait for you guys to put some out!

2. A leather weekender would be amazing, hitman steeze to the max

3. Ivory leather looks tits

Received tracking for my black goat 4 zip mdr with silver zips! 

Will take some pictures when it arrives

I know you said you were thinking about some designs for warmer weather a while back Drew, have you come up with anything yet or am I gonna have to cop a T1 for the summer?

+1 since A1 and harrington will be discontinued

Is it more expensive to work with since it is a bit tougher? It is not as tough as calf...but the bomber people don't do calf.

I have never cleaned mine. There's some dirt on it, but not much considering how much I wear it. Looks better dirty anyway.

 

I'm guessing you would rec that jacket over toj1 2011?

Of course I would. What is this, amateur hour?

hahahahah. that was a perfect response

 

lol. i figured as much, buhh, so much money on jackets this month...

Here's a photo of my SO's rider. It's possibly the nicest TOJ I've ever seen, and we both love it. Well, I might love it even more than she does. It is insanely nice, and, as you can see, Drew did an absolutely incredible job sizing it, once I gave him the proper measurements (he had to correct my shoulder assessment). Interestingly, it has the most supple leather of any of the three black lamb jackets I've handled, and it drapes beautifully. Pretty much goes with anything, including over dresses and more stylized stuff like that. Her only comment about the release of the new women's BCDR was basically "Who cares," which is because this is pretty much the end-all, be-all of black leather riders. If this one is any indication, I'm sure the new jackets will be stellar.

Synth, how's the T1 holding up so far?  Since you've handled pretty much every material Drew offers, how do you think the lamb suede will age/hold up long term?
 

So far, I see no reason that it won't last just as long as anything else. That said, I have barely worn it (too cold and rainy), so I will defer to other members who might have used theirs more (GDL must have something in lamb suede in that arsenal of his). I don't get in knife fights or anything, though.

Well you clearly don't hang out with sinnedk enough during his letter-opening parties.
