I'd actually prefer the chambray lining, though. The military blanket concept is unique and it's warm, but I found I need to either be wearing a thick shirt or at least two thin layers, otherwise the coarse lining grates against the skin.


The 2010 Jonas wasn't that great. It had a shearling collar and epaulets, so I didn't like it that much. I lucked out getting a 2009 one with chambray lining for relatively cheap ($425 shipped). When I had the Mathias the blanket lining was kind of annoying too, but the novelty of it was pretty damn cool. I actually really like the Cyril as well, and it was one of the jackets I was looking for but the Jonas popped up and that was my #1 choice. Excited to have exactly what I want in the Jonas though.

People knock the declining quality of Uniqlo, but their flannels still feel as good or better than anything close to that price bracket.

To be fair, there isn't much at the $10 bracket.

Poor wording on my part. I meant Uniqlo's regular pricing on their flannels ($25 - $30).

it's actually a digital micro 4/3. the olympus pen e-p1, which is pretty cheap now. it has a leatherette covering on it, which makes it look a bit better, imo

Was just checking out those suits the other day. I like the colour but I'm not sure I like how it looks on the models I've seen wearing them. How does it fit?
