    Anybody know if they still use spring bars in the buckles on the double monks? Bought a pair last spring and they were superb for the price -- EXCEPT one of the buckles fell off after a month because the spring bar popped out and now they're useless. No response either when I asked if they could...

     I don't think there's any correlation between model and leather thickness. I've had five toj leathers, in slightly varying thicknesses, including two A-2s in different colors (one of which is slightly thinner, but both are fairly thick). There's no extra padding and the shearling collar...

    I missed out on the suede harrington during the last rerun, because I couldn't afford it at the time. Would jump on the opportunity to get one now instantly.

     Bemberg is a type of rayon, not polyester. Unlike polyester, rayon is very breathable and excels in hot and humid climates. Removing a bemberg lining could arguably have some effect when you're wearing a jacket made from a lightweight open weave fabric, but since leather is a fairly dense...

    I don't see what you've been getting all worked up over. This looks like it fits better than most of the jackets in the gallery. Not saying it's perfect, but first time mtm orders never are.

     Not much, just ordering jackets in a frenzy, to get as many as possible in before you abandon us, and selling our bodies on the streets to pay for it.

     I was really looking forward to the new winter season stuff that was teased way back. :(

    I also have one in black and one in brown lamb, and they definitely feel different. My impression is that the brown is a bit thinner, and consequently a bit softer out of the box. They're both really nice, but if I had to rate them, I would rate the black over the brown. All of this is...

    Oslo toj enthusiast who tried on my bomber while it was at my tailor for adjustment (nipped the waist, it's purrrrfect now) and had them measure it for him (lol): Feel free to PM me and I'll send you the actual measurements I used.

    Got my brown bomber in the mail recently. Sixth toj coppidge toj <3 Still a bit too cold to wear it over here, but I put it on every once in a while just to feel dat shearling collar. New peacoat and ma1 look great! What fabric is that on the p? Edit: I would pay through the nose for a toj...

     ??? Only the leather jackets are MTM. The only adjustable parts of the fishtail are lengths.

    I have a few suits in super150, and they feel super-luxe, but they also get shiny really fast (elbows mainly). There's always a tradeoff: in this case you get an awesome-looking MA-1 that's going to feel like wearing a ******* cloud, but at the same time it won't be appropriate for urban warfare...
