STF-SBZR-IND - STF Sashiko Blazer - Indigo

[Bobcat Sig]

@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

@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

@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

[iamjustdanny]

@Steve I was already smitten with the indigo option, but black too!??! This might be a tough one.

[nurunuru]

@Steve Good to know; thanks! Looks so much better with just the two buttons and the long, crisp lapels. Wise move!
