Styleforum Centralia Knitting Mills Varsity Jackets--order closed

What is the SF color combo...dark cardinal with dark gray sleeves? or cardinal with dark gray sleeves?

I can barely see the dark cardinal with the swatches.

Also, can we get buttons instead of snaps? Anyway to change your mind about the pocket reinforcements? I don't care about the breast pocket, but everything about the jacket below is pretty much perfect.

yeah i really like this jacket but i would stick with the snaps over the buttons. i guess i am still going with the SF color scheme. now trying to figure out if i am a size small or XS ...

i think it is dark cardinal with grey sleeves. but the lighting of that swatch may be why. not sure someone else will have to confirm abotu that

Up Up, i'm def doing this but i'd rather wait till the end.

does anyone know how the sleeve measurement is taken? Also, how warm are these going to be?

Bump so people can take advantage of this. Are people getting confirmation emails? Are there enough orders?

We do NOT yet have 6 orders, including me. I know some people are trying to get cash together and or holding off to decide, but I recommed getting your order in sooner than later.

Issues to follow up on for a few people:

1. Buttons instead of snaps--not on this buy. Sorry!
2. Sleeve measurements, AFAIK, are from the shoulder. Shoulders are a little amorphous on a raglan jacket, but basically (shoulder to shoulder measurement/2) + sleeve should be a bit longer than the shirt sleeve length you take.
3. Warmth--these are wool/leather jackets and I assume they will be comfortable in fall in the northeast (daily highs in the 40s). They're not winter coats.
4. Options for lining color--don't think so. Black.
5. Feathered stripes--you pick all three colors--background, primary stripe, feather stripe.
6. Pantone colors--working on it--just haven't had the catalog and Pantone thing in the same place at the same time.
7. Better swatch photos--sorry if this is holding a lot of people back--I took photos in natural light but with my crappy photography + camera they don't really look any better than what Nathan did--I think I'm going to break down and go to Kinkos for color scans of the catalog.

Get on board!

I don't think color scans are going to be any better, maybe worse.

Your best bet would be to borrow an SLR and reshoot in natural light.

I'm 99% on mine. I'm just waffling as to whether I'm a L or an XL.
going cardinal and cream.

I obviously won't be buying one now, but I really do want you guys to get together and make these SF/CKM jackets happen, since it's been talked about for a long time and shoreman has done a LOT of humpwork getting them together for no benefit but anyone else's....

The colors are just just typical varsity/sports team colors, what is so hard about that? It's really not hard to imagine, I'd think...

i'm in, i just havent had a chance to do my order. hopefully this weekend, anychance you guys know the extra shipping to canada?

I want one, just hard to decide on the color with so many options! Have to see if sizing would work for me as well.

and it is done! now comes the hard part...waiting for it.

^^^ You'll be waiting a long time unless there are 6 orders. What's the total? C'mon guys - it takes maybe 5 minutes!
