Freenote Cloth

I just pulled the trigger on an RJ-2. They just restocked them and added more 20oz canvas versions. I went with the 20oz olive canvas. The best part is they are also doing an early black Friday sale so I got 20% off. Pics will be coming once it arrives.
-
@pmadison95 congrats on the jacket! How do you get the early black Friday sale discount? Thanks!
ETA: nevermind just got the email thanks
-
@pmadison95 - so tempted by the RJ-2 but not sure whether to go with the waxed olive or the denim. Anyone have the denim? Also, as I am buying from the UK suspect I will be hammered by the duties.
Grateful from anyone with either jacket for views on the denim vs waxed. Oh and how to avoid the taxes!
-
@Crispy-Heron I know @Mizmazzle has the indigo denim version. I was on the fence with the Olive and the black denim but I already have a sherpa lined black denim jacket from Bravestar so I went with the olive for more variety.
-
@pmadison95 - thanks. Are you UK based? Did you get hammered with duties?
-
@Crispy-Heron No luckily I am based out of the USA so I didn't have to pay import duties.
-
@pmadison95 - how did you get the 20% off as the Black Friday deal seems to exclude this item?
-
@Crispy-Heron the shearling RJ-2 is the greatest garment I own…I love it so damn much. So warm and comfortable. When you put your hands in those pockets you will know what heaven feels like.
-
@Crispy-Heron That is unfortunate it looks like they changed the discount code the code I used was EARLYBF24 . Maybe they only allowed it on the first day or maybe they didn't intend to include them and that is why they changed the code?
-
@pmadison95 @Mizmazzle - well I pushed the button on the olive RJ-2 thanks to your recommendations. I will personally blame you both when my missus has a go for blasting lots on money on it. Hope you don’t mind?!
-
@Crispy-Heron Iron Shop Provisions have a 20% sale at the mo and I landed a pair of Rios from there with a great service and a surprise when they arrived in the UK
-
@Gavin666 - thanks for letting me know. Thankfully (for me) they do not look like they had the same RJ-2 that I was after. I didn’t get any discount after all that and I assume will get hit with the duties! What was your surprise?
-
@Crispy-Heron I tried on that olive shearling RJ-2 last year when it first came out. It is so freaking rad. My wife loved it too. If I didn't have the denim one already at the time, I would have bought that waxed olive one. I have no doubt you’re going to be blown away.
And yes, please direct all blame toward me. But once your wife sees what a sexy devil you are in that jacket, all will be forgiven.
-
@Mizmazzle - Ha ha! I will let you know if you are right!!

-
@Crispy-Heron btw, if you ever what any other Freenote gear speak to Alex at Auteur store in Chorlton as he stocks the brand and can order a piece for you so you know exactly what you will pay.
-
@Gavin666 - I think I know what you mean
-
@Gavin666 - thanks. I will do. Good tip. Should have asked before I ordered it from the US.
-
@Crispy-Heron That is awesome you were able to grab one even if you did not get a discount. I am still waiting for mine to ship but I think it is being delayed because I ordered a pair of Portola cut jeans as well and asked for hemming. I will share the blame with @Mizmazzle though he definitely persuaded me with his glowing reviews in past of the jacket and sweet fits he puts together with it.
