hahaha, it took me a couple of minutes to think about it but now I can't unsee it....'The Blue Dress'
* Those who know will know.
The constipation crustacean. LOOL. That one got me.Bahaha that's hilarious!
Marc, sorry brother…you dish it out, you got to be able to take it.
I know your post was all in good fun and spirit and this probably won't get as many laughs because let's face it, nothing is going to beat Miss Piggy. But also because of the Himel vitriol that isn't present at the moment for Thedi. But I guess the Greek god is just one screw up away
And yes this is also in response to the FL thread where it looks like the new hotness has already turned into another Bill Kelso, Alexander/Simmons Bilt, Lost Worlds, Goodwear, Himel or just expensive brands in general or anything to do with "hype" or “buzz words” whether it's coming from makers, stores or people that may be considered "influencers" where for one reason or another there will be massive shit talking and then continuous piling on, but hey, that’s the way of the world.
I guess the purpose of this post is to say that everyone misses, everyone makes mistakes and no one if perfect. I believe everyone is just trying to do their best to put food on the table, so let's just give everyone some slack aye?
(p.s. - I want a GoodWear Modoc. I may just put in an order and let the 5 year OR three month process start. Tiiiimmmmeee issss onnn my side, yes it is)
So, without further ado, I introduce to you…
'Constipation Crustacean'

I can go all day but I figured two is enough.
* Sorry if someone owns these jackets or the Himels above.

When did it become Schott NYC?! It was always just Schott or Schott Brothers to me.
Early 70s, roughly around the time they started to sell in big numbers (due to the late 60s-70s leather jacket fad). I’m assuming they added “NYC” to the name/label both to match how, say, Buco had ‘Detroit’ in the label, and to make it clear that they were the actual Schott company before someone swept in with a similar sounding name (happens a lot in the clothing world).
I actually meant how people refer to them.
About all I can say, is that I wouldn’t want to be a leather jacket maker... it’s a tough crowd to please lol
If I had to guess, they probably don't fit everyone who buys them. I don't know who fits into a Fountain Head jacket, for example.Some people just don't like to wait. I guess they must fit someone, otherwise they wouldn't sell them, which they definitely do.
Overall, not a fan of this jacket, that's for sure. Pretty sure Schott has done something similar, yet better and a lot cheaper.

I don't know why so many makers make jackets so long and slim with tiny shoulders as stock. You don't even have the 'Japanese market' excuse because all the jackets I see like this don't fit Japanese guys either.That's the thing. I can't imagine who the person is that this would fit. And you're totally right that people will buy them anyway, so we're going to see people walking out of Freenote with a jacket that doesn't actually fit.
The odd thing is that you'd think having to stick with RTW measurements (even odd ones like this) would call for something of a discount from the full custom price.
Then again, workwear stores can get away with a lot, like how Simmons Bilt (not that I'd ever buy them) sells at double price at Standard & Strange, and their core customer base lines up to place orders.
I'm sure they'll 'fit' FjordeYou don't even have the 'Japanese market' excuse because all the jackets I see like this don't fit Japanese guys either.
