UPDATE 4/20 My bomber jacket arrived today and here are some rather crappy pictures. My wife was not at home and it's not easy to take pictures of oneself with a heavy DSLR. In the first 2 pictures it seems as if the jacket is tight at the waist but it is not so in real life. I think it looks like that because of the ribbing at the bottom. The jacket is very comfortable in all areas. The suede is really nice and as soft as butter.
UPDATE 4/16 I have been informed by TOJ that my MTM suede jacket is ready and here is a pic. Will post some pics when it arrives
UPDATE 3/31 Final question, I promise I just placed an order with TOJ to make a suede bomber like the first pic in the same color. Now I a having second thoughts whether this color suede will work with raw jeans and charcoal trousers. The trousers are fitted by MC standards. In case you think that this will not work, which of the 3 colors whose pics are given would you recommend. The one that I have specified.
Option 1
Option 2 (in suede)
Option 3 (the light colored one in front)
UPDATE 3/26 Pursuant to my search for a suede bomber, I have corresponded with TOJ and they are willing to make the jacket for a very reasonable price. Anyone here have any experience with TOJ and if so how did you find their quality. The SWD crowd is ga-ga over TOJ but I am looking for experiences of MC members. The TOJ is going to cost me 550 USD, this one for sale in the B& S will cost be around 900 and ehaberdasher has one for 1200 USD. So which one to get ? Your thoughts would be appreciated Hi I am interested in buying a suede jacket similar to the ones in the pics below. These are from Cucinelli and Loro Piana and as such out of my budget. Please recommend some jacket similar to the ones below from a company like Schott i.e. mid-level in price but reasonably high quality. Best regards
