Well, that's an achievement in itself, WORST pics.Kevin Anderson wrote:They would have to be some of the WORST pics of a jacket I've ever seen! I mean, I can imagine you were excited to get it, but you may as well have taken photos of the floor for how much they show!
I'm just jealous, don't mind me! But do show some pics wearing it as soon as you can!
They do show my hardwoods need refinishing soon. They also show the new jacket shine.
The best part, but admittedly hard to see in the pictures, is the smell of new leather!
Jackets undergoing hot water treatment as I type, but I will attempt to provide more pictures when the family gets home.
Or even better, maybe some others received their TOD's today!

Very nice fit, although to me the arms look a wee bit long, but when it dries they'll probably be about right I would imagine. Did you order larger than your normal size since you were going to treat it with hot water? Could you maybe snap one shot of it unzipped from front view? If not, that's all right, thanks for the pictures.

Thanks for these close-ups!
Very nice, very nice. Peter seems to have nailed all of the little details to a tee. How do you like the dark lamb? That was one of the three choices that plagued my dreams until I finally chose one. And is the lining satin or rayon (the original NH jacket was rayon, right?)

I'm very pleased with the dark lamb. The color is much nicer than I expected. As for the lining, I'm not sure, but it doesn't feel like satin.crismans wrote:Thanks for these close-ups!

Great looking jacket! Nice big 80s zipper!
Perhaps, the 42s go out this week and the 44s next?
It would be nice to get mine before Christmas. I hummed and ho'ed about what leather to choose from. I am glad I chose the authentic in the end. The dark lamb looks really really dark.
But again, GREAT looking jacket! Congrats on getting yours!

So this is the TOD jacket Peter is offering here?

Tron, it looks really good. In the shots the leather almost looks black. Does it look a little more brown in person?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
Just to fill you all in on the background, I ordered on-line Oct. 30th. Size 40, with a sleeve of 23.5 and a back of 26. I asked for nothing specific beyond my choice of color/leather which is dark brown lamb. Pictures of course distort this (especially my pictures ) but to me it's a much more satisfying color than my authentic brown Raiders. Very much the color of my AB Aldens.

...And as an earlier poster mentioned, how awesome is that big chunky zipper!
Still glad I got (or am getting) authentic brown though. Matches my boots better!
I'm a 42 too, so I hope there's not a big delay between delivery of the different sizes.
Wouldn't seem fair for someone who ordered a size 40 in late November to receive their jacket before someone who ordered say, I size 44 in October. But what's a few day or weeks? I'm just glad the first production jacket we've seen seems to be of a very high standard.
And I'm sleeping next to my mailbox again.

I'm pretty sure Peter said the 40's patterns were cut first as they were first available being the first copy. There was a delay on cutting the other patterns due to illness. Even though they are custom cut, they have to have a starting off point for the general size so they are not starting from scratch with each jacket.
