Wait, are you guys seriously saying the fact that it has 2 zippers instead of 1 is making it uncool/not kop-worthy?

If it really is such a big deal (which it really isn't imo) just kop and exchange the zipper, most tailors can do it for 20-30$

it's a cool jacket

Oh, completely missed that sorry.

Still think it'd be oretty easy for a tailor to fix tho, just buy the jacket and take it with you when you ask (either he can "fix" it and all is well, or you just return the jacket)

I've been telling my dude at AS how **** they look, he agrees. Just need to make the designers agree too, which isn't easy. Loads of internal politics.

Their Shearling would be an instakop if it weren't for those zips.


The 4-zip one?

lol some of their new releases still have the "laid on" zipper tape. I guess those designers refuse to let up. The worst part is a lot of this stuff still seems to sell.

I'm not sure un-reversing the tape would be that easy. For example, for some of their jackets, the zipper tape is simply stitched straight onto the leather/fabric. The jacket would have to be cut to pieces to fix it.



Look at these abominations. Can't believe a human being looked at these and thought "This looks good." Even more baffling is the bloke who bought it.
