+1.

Try going to a Costco at opening time and there's usually a good 20-30 people waiting for the gate to open.

Also they sell gas, some people line up for a long time to get filled up too. It's crazy.

I'm not sure with watches, but I know with electronics...they have their own models. The exact models found at Costco aren't the same as the ones at Best Buy and such.

^ we stopped doing that last year, the white cuff and collar undersides. One less unnecessary thing for the shirt people to mess up. We gotta keep it fairly simple for them or they mess up.

I'm waiting for this.

What happened to Sam's Club? They were sorta big in the late 90s. At least in SoCal.

Some people dislike Costco for only taking debit and AMEX though, no credit cards really.

Hearing stories about ROK makes me want to visit. Perhaps I can stop by a few days to lift some iron with Charly.

Planning to go home in May anyway.

Sams Club is still around, they're owned by Walmart now. They're not as widespread as Costco but they're still there.

This thread is gone raging off topic.

Drew, when will you announce this to be an official BB option?

mmmmmm, yeah maybe down the line, if the Bball jacket goes off. I like that green but it wouldn't work with the striped trim in real life. Would need to custom make trim to match as well.

How about some fit pics though? (still working on size chart)

(note that I will be bringing the collar opening down like, a half inch, so that it sits around a shirt collar better. This sample isn't made in the exact same pattern as the production models will be in, it's just a sample to show the jacket off. Production models will be slimmer in the sleeves and body, a bit longer, with the neck opening I mentioned.)

A-1 Bomber fit: (note that guys wanting a more conservative look could order it a touch longer in the body if they like)

yeah, I took some.. I should get those up. I was thinking about tweaking the shoulder and yoke design slightly on those, since the quilt was kind of overwhelming. One guy ordered it as-is, so I should put up the fits.
