So, I just realized....

....that I really LOVE my Todd's jacket. I got it back in July and obviously didn't really get to wear it for a while. I thought it was an awesome jacket as soon as I got it, but mostly just because of its screen accuracy. But then I started to wear it frequently around Halloween, and in the past two weeks I've hardly taken the thing off. It's one of, if not the, most comfortable jacket I've ever worn. But anyway, just thought I'd share that with you guys. For those of you out there wanting a jacket but don't want to fork out a lot of cash, I HIGHLY recomend Todd's jacket.

Any body else love their Todd's jacket too? Post it here!

You know I do! As with my other jackets from Wested and Wings, it only seems to be improving with time. When I first got mine I was hesitant to do alot of the rough stuff I ended up doing in it, but no longer! (I'll have to get some pics up from my last camping trip). When I first got mine I stated that I would give an update after 1 year of rigorous wear demonstrating how it held up for me after a years worth of work and play. April is a way off yet, but so far it's held together admirably through thunderstorms, construction sites, old warehouses and factories, rock-crusher equipment, grain elevators, wood-cutting expeditions, camp trips and crazy photo shoots for COW. All kinds of dirt, rain, muck, cobwebs, vermin, abrasions, etc.

Oh yeah, the styling and fit are excellent as well.

So far, much more than good!

I liked mine (well, two) a lot!

I'm just too tall to wear the off the rack model, and the custom is a bit too expensive for me.

A fantastic jacket if it fits, regardless of the price!

Weston I'd love to see some current pictures of yours. You were the one who convinced me to get the jacket in the first place - I saw your pics of it after wearing it in the rain, and decided to get it. And I haven't been disappointed. I've since seen your other pics of what you've put your jacket through and I can't wait to see how awesome it looks now.

I love my Todds!

That fits you great mark seven. Mine's that way too; as if it were nearly tailored to fit me.

BTW, we should just make this the "official Todd's jacket thread". (If there isn't already one of those....which I don't think there is)

I love mine too, BUT the left front pocket is starting to come unstitched.

I noticed it last night when I was wiping off the Fullers Earth applied for Halloween night. If you are looking at the jacket the top left corner of the left pocket has approx three to four stitches undone. Any ideas about fixing it? It is several months old and long past a return to Todd's. I can do without it for the time being as the weather here is really to cold for it.

I like my Todd's very much also. It's a great Spring/Fall jacket.....very thin and lightweight. The only thing that concerns me is the construction....some threads and stitching is getting undone on one of the pockets and the storm flap....but what can you expect for $150?

Just throw a couple stitches into it yourself scot2525. 2 or 3 loops do very well. I have had to do this to every Indy jacket I own. Car keys are the biggest culprit in my case, they seem to saw through the threads eventually, no matter who made the jacket.

Bogart, I'll gladly get some recent pics up here in the next few days.

Thanks Weston!

Well, I haven't been able to get ahold of those camping pictures yet so I took this one tonight. I thought it was fitting that it was taken in the same spot with the same lighting as the picture that convinced you to get one of these, Bogart. I'll get some better ones later.

Looks great Weston! Especially the sleeves.
