Yeah I can deal with sleeves being wide but that body when measured against my other outerwear...little too wide for me.

These look really nice, but I still don't understand this recent fascination with varsity jackets. Why would I want to look like I'm wearing an old jacket from high school (or worse), have someone think I was a letterman at a local high school?

It's one thing to have a jacket whose style is vaguely inspired by a varsity jacket, but some of these look almost exactly like a high school one! In that sense it almost seems like a costume to my eyes-- Cool to wear occasionally, but not sure I would wear it every day.

Because they are nice piece of genuine Americana that have their own, honest, style. It is a quality product that does the job with aplomb and at a very good price.

Weird, I'm probably going to be in Centralia at the end of the month. Maybe I can stop by and see the shop.

Well, I never cared much for the Americana look myself. However, these jackets do look nice. So no hate from me.

Long is an option for all sizes--according to CKM, it adds 1.5 inches to sleeves--body can be longer too, by request. As for measurements, I don't have em offhand, but there's a 34 listed on this page--can anyone translate?

If you would like international shipping, contact me and we'll figure something out.

We are trying to finalize orders soonisher than later (order deadline Friday August 7) so, with the estimated 6-week lead time, the jackets should be ready in September.

If you would like to order, copy and fill out the order form below, send it to [email protected] and [email protected], and Paypal $175 to Mauro at [email protected].

Color options are below the form, rendered as well as possible with my crappy point and shoot.
