Lol I am guilty^

Greg has a point though. Babying leather jackets makes the hobby not fun. I’ve stressed enough about greasy collars, front creases, and stretched shoulders. Before the internet did anyone even notice this stuff?

They do what they say! But I notice they put a lot of stress on the shoulders. It stretched them a little. I’ve come to the conclusion hanging jackets comes at a cost one way or another.

Solution: buy only leather jackets or hangers or both from NMWA.

whoa tell me how you really feel? You do sound as badass as ponyhair panels on a horse leather jacket !

I hope you realize the extreme irony of your comment in the thread that may be the biggest echo chamber in all of SF

Could do worse. But yeah personal style and all that. In fairness, nmwa puts out the coolest stuff this side of CHCM. Plus the customer engagement - I can’t really think of a better retailer. Although I do like Moda Operandi cuz it’s such a clusterfuck and I can find cool things at 91% off @steveoffice @kindofyoung :)

Greg, seriously, I really like NMWA and what you've done with it. And you seem like a great guy as well. But going in and ******** on peoples views in another thread when they are contrary to a product that you are currently pushing is a bit, well, below what I am expecting of you. Also, I just don't see the point of doing so.

Just my 2 cents.

lol who is ******** on who? You're the one who started the hostilities - I just made a joke about babying leather jackets and you made it a personal attack somehow

And I'm not pushing any product - I'm not even the one who posted it. Getting this jacket reissued has been a pain in ****** and required repreated begging - I don't want to sell it, it's literally a service to our customers. People have been requesting for 4 years to get it reissued. We're probably going to sell 8 of them - do you really think I care? You're delusional.

If you don't like the atmosphere and friendly tone in our thread, stay the f out of it

It depends on the setting. To me it looks very western and something that an old trapper/gold miner would wear coming in from the Montana winter.

The shearling looks like something you would wear to a furry party.

Speaking of pushing product, are you planning to do a MTO or regular run of the Grose lunch jacket in nappa brown leather again? I think you did it for last fall or maybe the one before, but it was never a stock item as far as I could tell.
