Moscow, Bumfreezer, SB and M65. If someone needs anything else, we may be able to accommodate

Can I preorder a raincho?

Can you show all 5 possible colors? There are different shades of green afterall. Also can we choose the shearling color?

Is the tan the same tab as before

tan trucker will have white shearling?

I may be wayyyyyy late to the party, but are Formosa pre-orders (or maybe minimum threshold GMTOs?) still a thing?

Those will all be awesome, but I’m glad I got the black on black when I could.

I don't know - the interest has waned so dramatically in the last two-three seasons that it's hard to find the time (or desire) to look for fabrics, take photos (or even make samples) for such a limited interest. It seems that a lot of people have moved on to inexpensive made in China/India reverse-engineered versions of Neapolitan tailoring. Clearly we can't compete on price, and I'm not sure finding great fabric ideas to feed the copy machine for season N+1 is a business model we should be pursuing.

Another example of "if you see something you like, don't assume it will be there forever". Valstar, in particular, changes things up season after season. There's no guarantee that the shearling trucker will be there next year - or any style other than Valstarino

 

[ericgereghty]

Makes perfect sense. I (obviously one isn't enough to warrant a revival) would have some interest in navy SCs, for whatever that's worth.
The real issue is that I ought to get around to taking a stab at the MTM/O route. I'm just criminally slow on these matters, and haven't had a good enough excuse to get out to NY

Saved me 2k was gonna cop black DR.

Nice - but Valstar has no DR. That would be J Grose

Not trying to argue out of whatever decision is best for you guys, but as a data point I'd be interested in future Formosa pre-orders or GMTOs (although of course I assume if I get my act together enough I can always visit and talk about a one-off MTO).

Wondering how the trucker jacket would look with the Ebony leather vs. a suede option? Does a trucker need to be suede? What do you guys think?

I appreciated the Formosa GMTO you did last year with the linen sport coats. But I also appreciate the time and effort that takes in light of the limited sales you make. I'm with @ericgereghty in that it might be nice to do a Formosa GMTO of a staple navy blazer. You can count me as a definite for that if it is worth your time.

GMTO for the occasionally incredible deadstock (or soon to be discontinued) cloth?

Can't copy what they can't have.

Or am I oversimplifying?
