If you're a size Medium then I believe Ryan is selling one in the market place here. Might one to give Odin a call, they've got some stock in but haven't updated their site. Can't think of any other place that I've seen buy it though.

Has anyone had their stream jacket altered? I was wondering if it is possible to shorten the sleeves and maybe take it in a bit without it being a huge operation. Sorry if this sounds stupid but I wasn't sure if this could be altered like a sport coat.

I haven't had mine altered. Just take yours to your trusted tailor, or one who comes highly recommended. They'll let you know if it's possible or not. A good tailor won't just do whatever you tell him.

Interested in what makes you think this. I would give a slight edge to WWM because of my experiences with the outerwear but to me the brands seem to be virtually identical quality wise.

Its a small point I'll admit, but while I've never had a problem with EG, the buttons on every single piece from WWM (6 pieces) arrive loose, and/or actually fall off; not every button per se, but a least one button on every garment. The fabric is comparable, but the production is not as...tight. Remember these two lines are not produced by the same company, only designed (until F/W '11) by the same man.

jryder, i think you have some good points, and i too have had some wwm pieces arrive with loose buttons, but i have also had the same thing with eg stuff (especially with the summer 10' workshirts).

does anyone know what state the wwm stuff is produced (the factory)?

I just ordered a parka from WWM. Hope it will keep me dry and warm here in Chicago.
