Well I get that sherlock, but I was thinking of more interesting info.
You know like the jackets being made by virgin midgets or blind unicorns and that the melton wool would be lined with mullethair shaven from a giant linebacker or something liek dat.

The Gap is selling "classic varsity lettermen jackets" for around $250... I'm guessing getting these done for SF, to your prefs, for <$200 is a ******* steal.

They are a really good deal. In Japan all of those custom collab Skookums (essentially one big order per store of a specific combination, mostly as is offered here) sell for upwards of $500.

Yeah I don't really get how these jackets cost so little (they are even made in the good ole USA) compared to all that poly/wool blend jackets with fake leather sleeves that sell for 300 to 400 euros here in Amsterdam. Usually brands like Tommy hilfiger or Hiphop brands carry a version of a varsity jacket that is made in china and made from ****** fabric.

Oh man....... I just realized it was over. I've been following this group buy since the first thread was made. I was just busy for a few weeks and I already missed this.

Please tell me there will be a second run for this......
DEFINITELY will buy if there is one

I'd rather have the sleeves end at the shoulder
