Though I might prefer a different color trim.
White, cream, navy, or gray maybe...
I wonder how customizable these things will be.

The MA-1 looks great! I may have missed this, but will MTM be an option?

impolyt_one · Jan 5, 2010

sleeve and body length will be.

Andy, did you give me final measurements btw?

Just sent now, thanks!

I like the idea of goretex on the MA-1.

Hi Drew (?),

I sent my measurements yesterday, but I'm not sure whether I am approaching this correctly in terms of measurement so if possible, I would like to discuss it further. I have already paid for the peacoat but I haven't been able to decide between the black or the grey micro-herringbone yet :|

Anyone who ordered and received their oxfords, how long did it take to get to you?

nice OCBD review from Johannes on sufu, one of our best customers, and probably the first out of the gat to pull the trigger on the OCBD:

It's a ******* amazing fit. It feels close without ever feeling tight. My rather rigid pose disguises this, but though it fits sharp, it allows for great freedom of movement, not once pulling uncomfortably at the collar, the shoulders or the armpits, as a casual shirt should be. Looking at those lovely natural Vs it creates, this is some great tailoring. For anyone troubled by sizing, I'm 5'9', and about 150lbs.

In terms of the length, it's perfect for my proportions. It is longer than BoO, and not as constricting and tight. All of these are good things in my opinion. I took a mid body shot so that you could get an idea of true length, which is exaggerated by perspective if shot down from the head:

As you can see the bottom button (unfastened in this shot) breaks way above the belt line, which is a good guide to whether a shirt can be worn both in and out. This definitely can in my opinion. The material, buttons and detailing are spot on, as you would expect from TOJ, certainly a ridiculous deal for a shirt at this price. My only flaw that I would wish to point out, in the interest of offering a full report, is that the left hand collar button seems to be misplaced, leading to the awkward collar discussed earlier:

I'm going to fix this myself with a need and thread, but others take note, this is not to do with the cut. All in all, a great debut for TOJ shirting, I couldn't be happier with it really. It is a bit stiff at the moment due to the thickness of the cloth and the reinforcements to the collar etc. so I'm really looking forward to breaking this in.

Looks sweet. When are other colors gonna be available?

impolyt_one · Jan 5, 2010

Gonna put in white imminently, and we'll see them in a week or so. After a few of those sell, we are either gonna do a blue/white stripe OCBD or a plaid tartan in the OCBD block.

I would like to see brown, maroon, or a deep brilliant violet.

I like the way you think. +1

This would be nice. I'd like to see a green.

Drew- I almost wonder if the button placement is the same thing with MJK shirts where it seems the 2nd button from the top is too high. If you button it, it's right about your neck, but unbuttoned is gonna be too low unless you want to let all your chest hairs fly free. That always threw me off about MJK shirts too because for casual buttonups you don't button up all the way, i usually feel that button placement is best a little lower. I couldn't find video of the Seinfeld conversations about button placements

aeglus · Jan 5, 2010

would like to see all these new shirt buyers actually wash their shirts and dry them before washing because it looks weird seeing brand new ocbds looking like raw jeans on dudes

his fit looks like it'll be good once it gets a wash though
