I took a 40 in the KS Drizzler jacket and returned it due to the sleeve length. I was sad, because that fabric is ridiculous.

Thanks for your thoughts @Newcomer, @Trayco, and @LatAm. It looks like the Traveler Coat is the consensus, which I expected it would be. Interestingly, my biggest NMWA non-kop regret is a blue houndstooth Eidos raglan-sleeve overcoat from a few seasons ago, which the Traveler Coat reminds me of. (Albeit a much fuller version of that Eidos coat.) Now I just have to resist using LuxeSwap credit for one year once I receive it . . .

I'm sure there will be another version next fall that you like. I love recurring styles like that - Eidos Ragosta back in the days, Fujito jungle jacket, KS traveler... We know we love the shape so we're always excited to see what fabrics and colors they come up with every season

Yes please Greg! Hope to have my ducks in a row for the Traveler next year.

Is a KS Traveler Pre-Order for A/W '20 a possibility ?
It is, if there's true demand for it. We scaled down our pre-orders the last couple seasons because it is a lot of extra work for us and we were getting tepid response. Except for those Niche seed tees, I guess :)

i wonder if having a say on the color choices (a la Leder coats) would make the difference worth the effort

While KS is at it, perhaps they could tack on the Photographer Jacket (dreams, RIP).
That was actually explored but the cost of doing that one-off was too high to even bring it up to you guys.

That is definitely not in the cards. Shinsuke designs the collections as a whole and it is not a brand where we would explore adding stuff to the menu. If we offer pre-orders, it will be for the colors (usually 2 or 3) that he will be offering for FW20

@gdl203 would it then just come down to posting photos from the showroom and gauging interest ?

then fingers crossed for a darker/chocolate brown next year.

Well, in Shinsuke's defense, his choice in color is normally spot on (that walnut tho).

@gdl203 Niche made cabbage long sleeve Ts this season so does that mean this might be happening for SS?
