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

It's fine.  My chest measures ~40"+
I asked for 21.3" and it was made to that spec. 

Got my CWU today. Measurements are to spec.

i guess thats somewhat reassuring. ive gone through like 3 leather jackets in the time since i placed my order and crosschecked their measurements so my TOJ should end up perfect......

Well **** I can't believe it but I got my jacket.

Soon! Can't right now.

Fit is almost perfect. Funny enough the areas I was most worried about - shoulder width, sleeve length, body length - are dead on perfect. I think it could use a little more taper through the mid but that's about it. Maybe not though... the columnar look might just be an effect of my narrow shoulders relative to waist.

No perceivable flaws. I don't know anything about leather quality so can't really speak to that. Lamb's a little veiny but it's consistent throughout so I don't care. Now that I have one, I'm not really sold on the black lamb hype that was so prominent here for 3+ years. Kind of wish I had gone with calf. Still, will make a great casual jacket.

I'm actually more interested when did he input his jacket in the spreadsheet...which is messed up

Seems like the dudes that inputted their entries first got first dibs

I was row 100, but then got pushed to 250+...not cool

Just double checked measurements. Everything is spot on with what I submitted except for the mid, which is an inch larger than requested. Oh well. Maybe the cutters couldn't taper enough given the length.

I'll have it taken in a bit some day down the line.

Not sure I understand the issue you're bringing up. If you ordered your jacket earlier, just move your row to where it fits chronologically?

So simple..marsupial confirmed. False alarm. Moved my row...it's all good in the hood now

Thanks Bishop

Edit; not sure why everyone else isin't doing this

 

[masshi]

is it really as simple as moving your row?

i thought that drew organized the first "batch" of entries by date, and then was gonna do it again for the next group

To the people requesting a refund in the spreadsheet: I think you'd be better off requesting your jacket, and then trying to sell your jacket back on the market for 75-90% of its retail value. Long story short: I don't think refunds are happening, although I do think jackets will continue to be made (how many, I don't know). If you hold out for a refund, I'm worried that you'll be stuck in the end with nothing.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't cause any alarms cause the situation hasn't changed. And it's what a lot of people suspected anyway. I just saw the requests for refunds in the spreadsheet and thought I'd let people know.

(cc'ing @Foxhound and @Gerry Nelson cause I know they requested refunds)

alternatively, if you can somehow find someone who's both willing to buy your spot and already has measurements from another toj, that could work out too

with that said, if anybody wants a spot for a medium whiskey calf jacket, hmu!
