Agree.... I'm one of the new customers. Just ordered the gray/navy chambray today! Can't wait to get it.

MJK, congrats on your continuing success!

Have you ever considered including more of a taper (or "drop") on your pieces? It seems that in many pics I see, MJK tops fit guys well in the shoulders and chest, and then blouse out at the waist or hips. (I remember multiple guys selling their heavy winter jackets because of flare at the hips.) I wonder whether a more athletic fit would help to satisfy both the small guys who liked your old XS and the larger guys who couldn't fit into your old stuff. Unless someone has a large gut -- and it doesn't seem many of your customers do -- the zero-taper look doesn't tend to be the most flattering.

I experience this problem with my bunnyhug which has made me hesitant of this new fit that appears to be even more parachutey.

It will actually be more natural this time around. Everything fits slightly looser on top, so you could size down the garment would still fit on top and not be too wide on the bottom. It is more proportional.

No, we are all out.

Now I don't mean to be annoying since I think I've asked at least once in this thread before, but when are you going to have a full selection of the asymmetrical hoodies available? Awhile back you said around November.

Will these have the same cut as the old asymmetrical hoodies?

That sounds nice. For some reason I thought the new fit was going to be less "athletic" than the old.

We just got the buttons that have been on back order for the last 2 months. I honestly don't know if Colby adjusted the pattern. I don't think so though.

Yes, what size were you looking to get.

You mean you don't have all of our sizes memorized?
