Damn, no wonder you recommended silver + red. I'm not the kind that can visualize well, so to see the 'pop' is phenomenal.

 

[aaaeeeiiiooouuu]



that combo ...

Whoa, didn't notice the different pulls at first glance. Very cool.

 

[nineohtoo]

Didn't someone just mention how awesome a red or blue 4 zip moto would look?

Also makes me miss my hair

So... Was that a definite no to bringing the quilted BCDR back before the cut-off date? Or.. a possible maybe? I'm just curious because I'm putting in an order on the 15th, so it would be pretty awesome to get a quilted bcdr in black lamb, and then have my last order before the hiatus be the black ribbed cwu-45 on the 1st.

I don't want to get my hopes up if it definitely isn't going to happen before the cut-off. the quilt bcdr is my all-time favorite ToJ, and I've been refreshing the page like crazy these past couple of days to see if it'll be making a comeback.

Drew, thanks for your comments. Really, the only bummer I have about the whole thing was my email exchange about sizing. Without dragging things down with the minutiae of the conversation, I will just say that I had some consternation about the discrepancies between my body measurements and the measurements of the jacket I provided.

It felt very much like Charly did not have the time to actually deal with tweaking questions, he had to just keep things moving. It felt like he was dealing with a ton of orders and trying to do his best to stay above water but didn't actually have the time to engage in a careful exchange re: advice or suggestions. It was during the period of the "bottleneck."

I agonized about the specificity of MTM and was assured, several times, on this board, "Dude just provide Charly with the measurements and he will do the rest." I followed the measuring guide to a "T", providing body measurements, jacket measurements, and providing a pic of me wearing the jacket I measured.

I agree with Drew that most people would not take issue with the way my jacket fits. But most people dress like ****. And this is a forum for the very few that scrutinize every detail of how things fit. And that same scrutiny should be exercised by the people who make clothes that cater to this crowd. In this case, because of the volume of orders during the "bottleneck" (I suspect), I fell through the cracks a little bit.

Most of the TOJ jackets that have been produced have been ******* incredible. Some of them have been a little off. A few have been disasterous. I think I am somewhere in the "little off" category, which is still a good place to be, although it has dimmed the luster of TOJ for me.

That said, I still love Charly and Drew for doing what they do and and I still want something in red calf (BCDR??, QDR, Drew give me something wild, I will lay money down, just help me tweak the measurements, please)

Edit: boozy spelling.

Red calf moto with the silver hardware.











Really thinking about one more order before the MTM goes away. Probably a brown goat 4zip MDR.

Goddamn...Charly/Drew, is there any Red Calf left (serious)? Considering 3-Zip MDR or 2010 DR in Red Calf now...

I really want a quilted rider as well, but I think that the BCDR was where it was done the best. The quilting on the shoulders and sleeves of the QDR and QMoto look amazing, but I think that the BCDR is a more aggressive jacket, and with the quilting on the upper back, it has a more balanced look to it than the QMoto/QDR.

Plus, the quilting patterns on the BCDR really pop out and look ******* amazing.

Please, take a fit pic while posed next to your futuristic red motorcycle, Kaneda.

Still trying madly to procure funds (loan from my dad, selling jackets, etc) for the bball before the June 1st cutoff. Unfortunately, still in Europe until exactly then so I have no other way of earning income
