So what are you guys thinking of using instead of toggles on this duffel? Is that privileged information? I've always thought it would be cool to have some kind of metal hook and loop closure on one, like on EG's fireman jacket or those NDG hoodies.

I don't get why people are getting so panty damp over them

a) they match the tone of the coat (for the traditional heavy duffels anyway), b) you can fasten them with gloves on, c) they are visually interesting, d) Paddington Bear is a badass.

Shorter than that, you can tailor them to get your size. We will also be running 'Tall/Long' sizes in our standard size runs, btw.

Sounds good. I hope I can get away with not altering since it should work for a 5'7 person.

I'm happy to see MTM being killed, honestly ... it seems like more worry than it is worth.

lol if we go by how much fussing around I do with my tailor then you don't know the half of it. Especially getting to shirting and stuff it starts getting messy.

It'll probably be for the best that MTM is being sidelined for standardized sizing as I've gotten what I need out of it (the size data) and the benefits will far exceed the negatives; orders for in-stock stuff will be out in the mail instantly and deliverable within 3-days worldwide (seriously, domestic US shops don't deliver in that kind of time), size charts will all be there and we'll go really comprehensive with them, and there will be a consistent quality for everything and it'll be a better operation overall. House cut will be remain slim but not as skinny as before, that only worked for me and a few other people, we need to open those arms up just a tad so another 70% of people can fit in the stuff comfortably but still find it slim. In the standard size run, there will be tall sizes, i.e 46L, 48L, 50L for guys who really tall and need the length as opposed to width. That MTM big/really tall option will be there for other people. In the end though, don't worry about that stuff, I know what makes nice clothes and I know how to make them fit you decently so that part will be taken care of. From the very beginning, before I knew this would take this form, I was in the business of just making people happy and trying to impress them, giving them what they wanted and more. I am still making that priority now, 4 months later, so things are still the same. I am working out the kinks as we go, since this is my first time out, and I really appreciate people's patience and the understanding, and we will go the distance too.

So will your Thriller jacket be able to make me a cool dude like this guy?

 

[impolyt_one]

It will be Thriller-era Michael-sized.

I always liked the MMM thriller jacket, not something I could ever wear though.

 

[brad-t]

I like the idea of a loud, retro jacket, but I don't know about wearing a replica ... would feel too costume.

 

[impolyt_one]

I think the only things needed to wear a Thriller jacket would be: a) huge stones, and b) the moves. The rest the jacket would take care of.

i don't have the moves

Well you better start watching some Youtube how-to's.

Very interested in what you have going for chinos and dress trousers.

Are you going to do slim shoulders for shirts? I can't fit into a lot of these types of shirt cuts (RRL, W+H) which has like 16/17 inch shoulders for a small or medium. Do you think the shirts will have a size of something like 17.5 inch shoulders/19 inch p2p?

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding between washed lamb and calf for a double rider. I like the idea of the calf, as something durable that will wear really well over a long period. But then, something that starts off looking good and feeling really soft is also pretty appealing.

I guess my concern with the calf is that I'd get it and be stuck wearing a stiff, new-looking jacket for years. And with the lamb, I'm afraid is just wouldn't wear as well over time.

Sigh.

Get the calf, then play tackle football in it.
