The snaps were playing tricks on me and I was asking myself if it somehow gained beige snaps, then realized that was the silver side and the wine snaps were just blending in nicely. (those wine snaps took me 4 days of begging, getting angrey, re-orders, and sitting drinking beer in a hut while waiting for them to be finally delivered, and no one else has a TOJ with wine snaps, LOL. fun fact there.)


Hey man thanks a lot for all the work you put into it. I love jackets (I own a ton) and this ToJ jawn is probably gonna get a lot of wear from now on out.

i think the only problem is the skinny arms cause i think that if i size down the shoulders wont fit, i have to grow into the shirt hehe

thanks, i'll check the tailor when i get back home.

i think they should be about an 1" or 2" slimmer cause i have chicken legs hahaha

why does it look ridiculous besides the armholes?

I'd wager it's a fairly easy job for a tailor to alter, but it would probably be more economical to buy a pair of slim chinos from UO, and then cut them off. Look forward to seeing your next fit, bruno. No, it doesn't look ridiculous. Coming from someone who pays the very closest attention to how the sleeve hugs the arm - you're wrong. It doesn't billow out ridiculously, it's just not tight. With danracer's frame it'd be difficult to find a low-end polo with a better fit.
Thank u

So Yesterday on the TTC (Toronto subway) heading downtown I see a guy with a shaggy beard wearing white Chucks, Tight APC New Standards, a Red Flannel Shirt, and an Olive Filson 257...

Alright, which one of you was it? Huh? 'cause there's no way that getup just happens by accident.
PM if you prefer....

That jacket is looking fantastic, Vashin. Planning on putting anything on it? I think I'm gonna order a custom chenille w/ double layer felt letter real soon to make my ToJ jacket truly mine.

The red crocs would add a much needed spash of color and take the fit to the next level imho.

Would it be more next level if I wore them on my hands?

Also, I was about to put the chinotards up for sale, but I figured I should offer them to you first. Maybe you could burn them and make a video for SF?

Hmm, thanks. There are 1.5-2 inches of spare material in the jacket. Do you think that'd be enough to fix things, or should I pass this onto someone a little shorter?

I think thtats one of your better fits.

Like it as is.

On the short side of acceptable, wouldnt want to go any shorter though.

That would look really good with welted pockets.
