He hooked me up with some people who do silicon, oil, and wax coating as well, so those are some more game cards for me to use later.
Can't wait... rough ETA? Also, what was the material b4? Poly blend? What are the pros/cons? I'd also totally go for a light gray. Was bored today, and decided to start reading the TOJ thread on sufu from the beginning to see how it all started. Am on page 37/240 w/ 40 posts/page (0). Loved the part where you decided to make a limited run of one leather jacket model, w/o intending it to be an ongoing project.

I would love a laptop messenger

I really want a nice 13 inch laptop sleeve, one with an exterior pocket for my iPhone and keys. Would be amazing for uni, an easy piece to make and I would easily buy 2

Cannot wait for duffle and messenger bags.

We're gonna make stuff like that. Before that, I am gonna make a kinda heritage-y folksy DSLR bag that the workwear/americana cats will like a lot. Today is the end of the week so I will start that jawn on Monday probably. Here's todays work; the TOJ MA-1 in goretex. The small group of them will all be finished imminently. For now, enjoy some pics of the first one out. dizzhizz is wearing this one because it was a sz 50, he's a true 48 and it's a little big on him... it fits slim, a lot like the TOJ0 and 1, a tiny bit more forgiving in the sleeves, but overall, a very slim silhouette.

(I love the back dart detail)

That is badass

TOJ aesthetic philosophy is now this: make everything kawaii as ****. I think we're on track.

 

[pooMonger]

Is that navy up there?

 

[willy cheesesteak]

The fabric looks really thick too, almost waxy, or maybe that's the quilting?

Bam TOJ MA-1 is amazing

 

[aeglus]

guess I need to count on that still being made this winter too!

 

[aj_del]

I want a MA-1 in green suede ...

 

[ma1]

that is a sick jacket.. i am going to have to save for one

 

[impolyt_one]

ma1, if I would've clicked on this thread and read that you didn't like the MA-1, then I would've had a meltdown

And the hits just keep coming. Throwing my suggestion on the pile...A camel hair Peacoat.

Not to take anything away from the gorgeous ma1 but I had a question about ocbd stock sizing. Can anyone compare the medium to say an epaulets shirt? The 16" shoulders scare the hell outta me

Different way of measuring. I have two epaulet shirts which fit me differently but in general I'd say the TOJ shirt has a bit more room in the chest, is a tiny bit tighter in the arms (and maybe just a hair smaller in the shoulders) and tighter in the forearms.
