Is the pattern staying the same for future runs? Also, seriously, I know you hate my sizing questions by now, but I would really appreciate a back s2s (widest point) on the M peacoat. I'm pretty sure the M is fine based on the chest measurement, but I just want to check.

That always threw me off about MJK shirts too because for casual buttonups you don't button up all the way, i usually feel that button placement is best a little lower.

I couldn't find video of the Seinfeld conversations about button placements

Yeah I know what you are talking about, I am pretty picky about this myself. I used to wear Helmut Lang buttonups exclusively because he was the only designer to make a shirt that could support the collar with 2 buttons undone... this shirt has a higher top button but the placket has true strength, if you hang dry it with the buttons done, or press it, the placket supports itself to two undone buttons.

In the future, on a thinner cloth, I will probably move button placement.

Arethusa, this is essentially the final block. TOJ will fit you, if you have the faith.

peacoat wool swatches (preview for those who have copped, and those who are soon to do so: first pic, you can see black leather matched with Hbone, black, and navy, and navy gets a bunch of little leather clippings. The navy leather we'll use is the darkest one, but be aware it is still lighter than the wool, it's a matter of dying and light refraction coming into play here.

This is the loden green and the brown (no loden green leather visible, but available to match)... I think the ebony buttons play in better here, so I featured them; I think the brown trumps the green as a working combo.

I hate using BoO as an example because they certainly aren't the holy grail of shirting but their button placement is pretty nice too. Looks good worn 2 buttons undone with sleeves rolled up. I probably underestimated the weight of the shirt with the buttons and didn't think about that. I can see how lower placement would possibly throw off the balance with the collar. Still a nice shirt, but felt i should throw that post in there as i really thought that was a big problem with MJK shirts considering people wanted to wear them casually unbuttoned which always looked awkward. I'm not surprised you already thought of all that. Good stuff

I hate you. I can't afford two peacoats.

When's the cutoff for the first run? Also, swatches are thinner than the actual fabric, right?

 

[indesertum]

does johannes own every single TOJ piece and multiples of some?

he should begin the TOJ archive musuem

The cutoff is like, now... but if you get in within the next 4 hours or something (it's 248am here and Charly is sleeping, but wakes up early everyday) you might get in before we do a final tally and order at midday.

The swatches are like half as thin as how they will be on the coat (and remember on a placket edge or something, you're dealing with 4 layers of the fabric) , because of the laminate layer we're gonna use. Honestly, I am worried about the wool being too thick, I brought home a huge swatch to sew up and show the thickness of two layers folded and sewn, but I'm afraid of breaking my little Janome.

That brown is dope.

 

[gwydion]

Oh man, super stoked for my pea to get here. Full on warmth...Gotta go hunt down a pair of gloves and some scarves now.

 

[dahotone]

When can we expect the duffle soon?

 

[Kill_switch]

loden green looks sick, ill probably add that to my closet next season.

 

[Klemins]

When do you think you'll be ready to take bomber orders?

What kind of units are you expecting here?

 

[willy cheesesteak]

MA-1 is going to be twice the thickness of the winter varsity Drew said. WV = 3oz fill MA1 = 6oz fill Both quilted. So, very warm. New peacoat sizechart:

the only things that were changed with the pattern is that the taper on the lower arms were increased slightly
