TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

I will, that photoshop of all the little color blocks took all last night and wiped me out, I am pretty feeble with computers. Gotta go to Kinko's and then I'll come back and fire back some emails to the peoples.

Kinda disappointed burgundy/cream and navy/cream doesn't have the option for the camo lining. JBourne and murdered out with tiger camo will be sick.

it's probably because the ribbing won't match when reversed with the camo lining outside.

this is 100% correct.

safe to reference colors on old varsities for color representation?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This is a more accurate representation of the colors on my first varsity.

A shameless plug.

Seriously dude? Does this guy look like someone clinging on to his JV years or someone who'd carry a rifle? That is stretching it more than a bit, me thinks... The USA is a little more tolerant than that. I won't say a lot more, but it's better than here at least....

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Not at all. He looks awesome. I'm saying that I would look like an overly nostalgic jock (but from, you know, one of those "skinny" sports) or a redneck-y gun nut in a varsity or camo, respectively. I'm a former college athlete, and I'm from Upstate New York, so neither one of those would really be a stretch.

The varsities look great, and they'll look great on a lot of dudes. It just wouldn't work for me, personally.

It's honestly not that hard hitting man, it's just a jacket. If you can feel comfortable wearing a banded collar assymetrical leather jacket, you can wear pretty much anything....

 

[notwithit]

Haha, fair point. Murdered-out model is kinda tempting, too.

Gotta stay strong for the winter releases, though. I've literally been wearing the same wool car coat for the past 6 years at this point.

can't believe you would post your second-hand sales in this thread. asshole.

^^ i think its price point makes it a lot more reachable for a lot of people.

serious question: how do you properly measure length for raglan sleeves? just take your body measurement from center of shoulder + shoulder to wrist?

Good question, now that I notice the size chart didn't specify exactly what I wanted it to say:

To measure the required sleeve length on a TOJ raglan, just put the end of the tape measure to the side of your shirt/tee collar to the side of your neck and then measure down the center of your shoulder down the outside of your arm, to the same place past the wrist we always use. Add an inch or so to that measurement so that the sleeves don't come up short. An inch and a half if you like a little rippling or stacking.
Don't measure from the center back of the collar like a dress shirt. That's not how we measured the chart.

There's an even bigger point I need to bring up here that really bothers me about TOJ second hand sales: you guys gotta quit using my size charts and just hotlinking them to your sales threads. There are many charts past and present and nobody is really linking the right ones anymore, and your jackets rarely ever measure to those exact measurements, so you should take the extra 3 minutes and measure your own jackets and post the measurements for prospective buyers. The measurement charts don't represent your actual piece correctly.

Measure w/ arms kept at your side I assume?

Also very eager for the new wool coats. Drew, any idea when we'll see them?
