why would you want to wear a fishtail with no hood?

There'll be even sizes 44-52 or whatever, but there's no point in trying to MTM them, make in-between sizes, etc.

nooo why cant i get skin tight parkas


also, I haven't seen any posts about them in a while, and I'm in the market for one and feel like throwing more money at you, so I was wondering what the status on bags currently is. can we expect to see a ToJ messenger in the future?


while im at it, and yea I know this isn't really the place to ask, but do you happen to know if that horsehide dr will be finished sometime next week? i only bring it up cause I was hoping it could make its way here by my birthday on 12/4

the TOJ fishtail is going to be a fishtail not like some of the hoodless parkas/hood inside zipper

(like there is a difference when people say fishtail vs. parka, right?)

drake, your jacket should be done imminently, there were 3 jackets with custom colored zippers that got delayed because of the zipper dyeing but that's all done and they're probably done by the time i go back and see them tomorrow or Tuesday.

Yo, young daddies, it's gotten mad cold here so I woke up this morning and knew it's time to get the fishtail off it's ass and moving, so we're on that project. The market works half days on Saturdays and I'm gonna go try to get the rest of the materials squared away on that and it'll be up and out soon, as will the duffle. Both will be warm and long, but I'm already getting that personal attachment to the fishtail project, so you know it's gonna be good.I keep the coats at the same price, but I think I will have to surcharge $25 on top of the $450 for the DUffle this year, as it weighs a lot more than the pea and takes over a yard more inside/outside material-wise than the pea, and the fishtail will weigh even more and take a lot more materials since I'm double-facing two seperate coats (in custom-made materials that have to be run in 100-yard rolls minimum) in that one, so it'll be $50 more, $500 shipped.

Anyway, on the winter coat front, stay tuned, I'm dropping bombs from South Korea.

Oh, you're right, it's an m65. But I mean what are the differences besides a parka being longer and heavier?
