TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

Here's hoping the new bball come with the option of no striped hem and cuff. Would definitely buy if this was available.

I saw the one in the gallery and it looks really clean.

For the record I'm a 46/47 and 5'10 tall.
Currently leaning towards 2 zip just because I haven't really been able to see anybody wearing a 4 zip that is skinnier and look cool.

****, and I thought my whiskey 4 zip was cool.

Interesting turnout for this BBall jacket. Black Lamb CWU vs BBall vs any other interesting upcoming designs..

We're not doing that again, was a custom request. I didn't really like the outcome that much.

Was going to suggest a forest green bball as well. Red could be a more adventurous option

We offered red originally..... nobody really stepped up. Somebody might've, if I recall, but it was months after the original release, and we had long scrapped plans to run the suede up in red. Green tends to follow red in terms of buy-in, so don't expect to see green anytime soon....

Item of note; we have to run the suede up to our specs in massive quantities per color, it's a headache and I didn't really want to make the Bball because of this (and the custom rib that has to be made again), and I don't think people are going to show up and buy 20 Bballs a piece, so color choices are going to remain pretty limited. I'm not really in the position to take suggestions for colors here in the thread, that becomes fruitless.

I think tan will be the leadoff color, perhaps a new color will make the cut later.

Pretty sure it was $415 before?

I thought all suede and leather were 730, fuk I missed out

 

[ceoceo]

I think that is for the whole leather/suede stuffs

it was 415 before. Last time we ran calf suede though, we had a much lower minimum run. I don't know why, but the guy is dicking me on it this year and has raised the price and the minimum run to suede it (it starts as top grain/corrected leather and we take the top grain/correction off, since it doesn't matter). Anyway, gotta cover on the materials. We also gotta treat Bball jackets as a pre-order thing to start again this time, if we don't get enough to cover the orders and the huge run on the suede we'll just refund the payments again, we've done that before with a couple projects that didn't take off.

Full-grain lamb and lamb suede, calf, goat, and sometimes horse (if we have it) start at 735 and go up from there depending on color and the material in question.

I saw an old guy in a red baseball jacket in the airport once, and it made me want a red baseball jacket over any other colors. Its the second time this type of thing happened (last time was a hobo in a brown fishtail).

^ I took this as saying, "i get my inspiration from old men and hobos"

 

[GSafternoon]

dude its true, young guys always have stupid details on their almost nice jackets, where as old guys and hobos keep it simple

I think most folks, including me, would be perfectly happy with tan, grey, or blue. Being Asian i would probably go grey or blue. It's fun to throw around more adventurous colors though. A red bball looks nice in my mind, but I doubt I would actually wear such a loud piece.
