Haha, I was just messing with you.
And nah, theres too many RO leather styles out there.
I do have the scuba though, just not leather.
I like the pearl Globa from this season but I am swearing off from RO leathers for now.

If the sleeves are all leather, I don't see a reason why not, you just need to look for a competent leather specialist. If the sleeves have ribbed cuffs like in the intarsia, I think it might be more difficult. For the pilot, it might be too difficult because the back part of the whole sleeves are ribbed so not every tailor can handle it.

Koped some more wjk tees, except these are cotton/rayon blend and longer in length. I continue to like wjk a lot. Not only is the quality top notch, but the pieces have a nice balance between not having enough character vs. being overly stylized. To all you guys gloating over the Silent tees from Gilt: These are better.

Very true. The label runs so small that I cannot even legitimately make jokes portraying those whom cannot fit into it as being overweight. Probably the only way to change that is by convincing some stores in the US or Europe to carry the label. But I suspect that may prove difficult since wjk is more about quality than flashy design. Above a certain price point (which wjk routinely exceeds) US customers expect a certain level of cachet and distinctive design that wjk largely does not provide.
