STF-SBZR-IND - STF Sashiko Blazer - Indigo

[Steve]

Looks good on you @Jen-R-L-Good

Did we ever discover the amount of fabric in the sleeves available to lengthen them? XL or XXL? My tailor asked me for pictures if anyone could oblige me?

[Steve]

@CosmoSix5 on the inside of the sleeve, there is 3cm of sashiko fabric before it joins the arm lining, so potentially there would be 2.5cm additional length you could achieve I guess. Because of the nature fabric you might have a slight fold mark from the sashiko's original fold, not too noticeable and I would imagine it would go with a pressing.

I seem to collect unstructured sport coats. It seems to fit in my world in tech. And I searched for a killer sashiko jacket outside of the trucker style; I found this... about a year too l late. Typical in my searches. haha

What are the chances for a restock? Or maybe even another jacket with a similar fabric?

@Bobcat-Sig please keep WTB requests in the marketplace per forum rules.

Thank you.

@Bobcat-Sig Thank you.

@Bobcat-Sig There will be another production run of the sashiko blazer, but before that will be a sahiko chore jacket (link below), just waiting for second sample, then that will go into production. I would expect these to launch July/August
upcoming chore jacket

@Steve Love it! I'm probably more in for the blazer than the chore coat, but those samples and prototypes you've shown look amazing! Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out.

@Steve - any update on the Sashiko
Blazer re-run? Missed out on the last round and fancy this for my work rotation

[Lynne]

@Crispy-Heron hi - I’m Steve’s wife - it’s going into production this month! Should be restocked in May. Will keep you informed here, but best to also sign up on the product page, if you’ve not already, to be notified as soon as they’re released

[Crispy Heron]

@Lynne - I was not aware of your connection! Will there be any chance that you will make in the small? I am puny so I think I may drown in the medium. I see that Steve suggested earlier in the thread that the XS and S were not produced in the last run due to uncertainty about need but that that would be reviewed for the rerun?

[Lynne]

@Crispy-Heron Small will indeed be available!

[Crispy Heron]

@Lynne - thanks ever so much. That is great news.

@Steve I think this jacket looks sharp as all heck when the top button is skipped and the lapels crisply fall all the way down to the middle button (as seen in the second pic in the product page).

So I was just wondering... Do the lapels need to be ironed in place to get them to stay long for the super-sharp two-button look? Or do they just kinda naturally fall into place if you consistently ignore the top button?

The second product pic and the third product pic just look like two different jackets with the way the lapels are so different!

[nurunuru]

...or was the jacket in the second product pic maybe an early prototype? I can't make out a buttonhole where the top button would be.

@Lynne I'm totally glad I ran into this update! My wallet is giving me an evil look, but I'll live.

[Steve]

@nurunuru you are correct - on the second run I removed the top button, to get a sharper look, which made the lapels sit better. It looks like the pics havent all been updated - but the next run (later this month) will be two buttoned. Good spot!

[Steve]

@iamjustdanny new production run starts this month, indigo sashiko, ecru sashiko and a black twill options for this run
