you're entitled to your opinion….even though it's wrong....

i carried out a very scientific survey at work this afternoon and showed pictures of both jacket interiors to 8 unbiased people without  giving them any info on brand etc. and asked which they preferred. everyone said they preferrred the one with the mouton collar.

there will not be a lot of these produced
and the ones produced will sell out
that is all

My thoughts on the jacket:

It's a lot lighter than it looks due to the synthetic fleece lining.  Although natural product purists may disapprove,  the fleece provides a good warmth to weight ratio and does not itch.  I wish the fleece was black instead of brown.

The jacket is warm but not extremely so.  I wouldn't wear it to explore the Arctic in winter but think it would be suitable for temperatures between -3 and 7 degrees without extra layers underneath.

I like the neck protection because my neck is always the first think to get cold and I find often find myself raising my shoulders to keep it warm.

There is one inside pocket with a horizontal opening.  I would have liked the opening to be vertical or there to be a zipper.  I like to carry my phone in my jacket pocket and am not sure how secure it would be.

the above is one of the reasons i love Dr. Pat. patiently awaiting your other write-ups.  i saw you in a certain wabash 

jealous of you uk folks.  think i might have said that once or 20 Xs already

I want this.

but I also want the duck type III.

I can only have one.

I'm with DrPat on this.  I think the color of the fleece is the only thing rubbing me the wrong way.

Please be strong I know I'm not wrong

Here comes the nightime
Lookin' for a nice n-1
Waitin' on the right time
everybody else is gone
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong."

I'm going out to Hachioji tomorrow. If they don't have this jacket I will be very upset.

I don't think that they are yet ready for sale

In that case let me clarify: being available in Japan at some point in time is sufficient, as opposed to being export only.

They told me mid-Octoberish. Seems they are still working out some details on the lining.

[Giles]

Haraki is slightly increasing the weight of the sleeve mid lining to make the arms a shade warmer…..

i like the fact that this is so different to the Mister Freedom Deck Jacket.  Keeping an eye over here to see how the final production item turns out

[barun]

I'm a huge fan of Mister Freedom clothes, one of my favorites but this jacket so much cooler.  Maybe not as traditional (im not sure on that fact) but still cooler

Any chance of a pre-order once sizing is set? This is a must have item!
