And speaking of COW's "people posting threads," I see that on the IH Intl. Facebook daily log-ins the name Deborah Toohey heads up the "I like" lists in several entries. I'll bet she does: "Honey, didja post today? C'mon, somebody's got to get the ball rollin'."

I'll be damned! You're right! Every single post, Mrs. Steve Toohey is the first "like." Sheesh.

It's an interesting game, viral marketing/ social media. Very easy to go very wrong. In the early days of the web a lot of vompanies used to clumsily post claiming to be customers instead of the business itself (remember Beaniman when AL was first launched?). Punters tend to realise and it can backfire, either looking dishonest or just desperate. Dangerous game to play.

BTW I was speaking to Debs at AL about possibly ordering a new jacket the other day, and she told me the waiting time was over six weeks now. Busy with orders for retailers she said....
When the possibility of you ordering a jacket from SB becomes reality, be sure to provide feedback here. We will all be waiting.

Great news is that there will be many nice jackets on sale, with the old labels. Hopefully will find an A-2 and a steer CXL Cafe Racer.

This jacket is so wonky they would be better off just throwing it in the trash instead of selling it for a low price. If this is what 262 years of experience look like ...

Given that, if you're making a jacket pattern, the left panel is simply a reversal of the right side and the pockets should line up, no, asymmetry shouldn't be a thing now...

Oh my, is the really happening...?
I Have to agree; the trash bin, or recycled into a wallet / watch straps etc. is the only option with this one I am afraid.

Is it just me, or are those collars MASSIVE too? They just look wrong.
