Nice member tag, lol... "Sookie!" My girlfriend says that all the time, with the Bill Compton accent and everything.

Yeah 23" in the front. If you like that length, you'll be happy to note that ToJ seems to be moving towards longer jackets in the varsity and bomber, having added 1" to them since the original design, I believe.

I actually think the shoulders are fine - or close enough for hand grenades and horseshoes anyway. My posture and the stiffer, brand-new calf leather push the shoulders out a bit when it isn't zipped to the tippy-top. You can see like a 2" gap there at the collar.

I tried it on with a thin sweater last night, and that sucker gets pretty snug in the upper body. I am not completely sure I would be able to fit into the next size down with more than a t-shirt. I'm very curious to see how the leather breaks in over time. Wait 5 years and look for another post from me.

"murdered out" refers to every aspect of the piece being black

lol, there is no way that Bomber could be any smaller for that guy, shoulders or sides, that's perfect. Any more and he'd feel the jacket on him and it'd pull. Wear that thing in the rain and see it come to life. Kent Money has a calf Bomber that is insane looking.

So many droolworthy shots in the ToJ gallery. Can't decide what I want my next ToJ order to be. I suppose it really should be a peacoat for practicality's sake...

Will be picking up one in Loden Green.

Also, regarding production times - we're still on pace, looking at my Excel here; Glamdringer, are you David? I think Synthese's jacket might be done soon too. It's those fixes that we need to speed up.
