Anyone own this? I'm wondering what the back length is for whatever size. Looks cool.

I actually picked this up in a consignment store for like $15-20. As far as I know, the best deal I've ever gotten cost-wise. I'm not sure it's worth the cost full price, though.

It is a little slimmer than the model makes it look but if you want to tailor it down further it's pretty useless the way it's designed. I had the arms slimmed down on mine - be careful though, this thing will NOT stretch at all. It's a good early fall/spring jacket. It doesn't provide a lot of warmth or insulation. I'm not at home so I can't measure it at the moment.

this spring i got the 'thursday' hoodie that you see at revolve, and a few of the affiliates. the quality of the materials and construction is a step up from your usual mall brands, although $180 might be a little high. it was exactly what i was looking for so i just bit the bullet

so, how do you pronounce the "greige" in the brand's name? Is it like "grey" or is it "grey-ge" like "greg"?

I originally pronounced it "grey," but I'm pretty sure it rhymes with "beige"

I own a black military jacket and a military button up. The jacket is basically a perfect fit and a great quality fit. The shirt however, a different story. I agree with some of the responses above about the overall quality. Stitching in two of the buttons are also coming loose.

This seems like the official SoG thread. Some of their new Spring/Summer stuff look pretty badAZZ, but do they still have **** quality control issues like they did in the past?

other then that it's cool? no trash like threads making parts of the piece look like it wants to fall off?

I have this SAME exact issue on my hoodie. I think the fabric gets stuck in there or something. Its really aggrevating when you need to take it off. Other than that I have nad no other issues with the jacket.

I have 2 of the old model shirts I bought from ebay a while back and they are the worst made pieces of **** Ive ever owned. Luckily they were only $10. The fit is snug and the shirt is cool, but there are loose threads ALL OVER that *****.

Some of the new stuff is sweet, the red gingham military shirt is cool...but Im gonna wait til it goes on sale. The quality issue seems to be better from season to season, but Id still be wary. $60 seems appropriate for this stuff right now.

I also have a hoodie from SoG and yes the zipper does get stuck sometimes. There were also a few loose threads at the end of the sleeves/bottom. I picked it up on sale though so it's not too bad.

I'm tempted to get that Agency M65 jacket but a bit hesitant to pay retail for their stuff since quality seems to be hit or miss.
