I've tried to ask about this here indirectly. No response. So here goes: Just how good is the Magnoli ToD pattern? I would like to think he got a NH repo from Peter and made his already good pattern really work and SA. We all know that many jacket makers get the right details by hook or by crook.
Anyway, I like the ToD a lot! But I don't think I can buy Wested. But I also don't want a guess-work jacket from some other maker. Peter happens to have the most SA pattern going. Surely those details have made it elsewhere, or not?
You all know what I'm asking...

Re: Magnoli ToD
I sent my TN TOD jacket to Magnoli last year, so he knows how the vents are supposed to look at least!
The TN was very nice, but a bit big for me and the 'Happy Cow' was quite heavy and stiff, though it was a great looking leather.
With a Wested NH TOD to inspect and copy, I think Magnoli could potentially make the best TOD of all.

Re: Magnoli ToD
Magnoli is a straight shooter, so asking him directly about his pattern should be a step in your decision process. That way, our advice can be helpful but his word can eliminate chances that somebody else might be misinformed.

Re: Magnoli ToD
Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen.
Our "Version B" pattern is really good, the only issue is sourcing the buckle from our supplier. Sometimes there is a long wait, sometimes not. So keep this in mind when ordering this particular version.
Kind regards,
Magnoli

Re: Magnoli ToD
Good times !!
I was worried you'd be lumbered with a load. Maybe you need to re-stock now .

Re: Magnoli ToD
Thanks everyone. This has been an interesting thread.
Re: Magnoli ToD
I really want a ToD jacket. I want it from Magnoli. I'd like to see more pics of this jacket. On the prong sliders, are these very practical? Can they cause problems over time damaging the leather?
