This thread haunts my dreams. FML

Tell me about it Lando, still don't know if I've made the right decision. :-\

And Mondays talk of self waterproofing isn't helping me

The only thing stopping me from this is the fact that I own the MF Deck Jacket and it has the speed clasps. I am much more partial to the Black but atm it just doesn't make sense for me. Can't have it all is what I keep telling myself…

good god that is amazing.

@Beatle:

you can always pull a Ruedi ..just put the jacket in a plastic bag if it starts raining…

I've kind of taken this suggestion on board, in reverse. As I usually carry a duffle or backpack with me, I have purchased a back-up North Face shell jacket, which I can carry in case of rain

;D…..

Can't stop staring at the pictures of the production version. I've been offered a MF Deck jacket at basically half price ($450), but this just looks so good

Just had a note from Haraki.

"Will be finished in the next few days"

[Megatron1505]

Great, I'm just hoping that they arrive before you depart.

Mega, I'm almost as excited for you getting this jacket as I think you are…

[Megatron1505]

Ha ha, I doubt it BK 

But I am going to stop pestering G about it now….for today.

[madmonday]

saw some more images on boss talk, would have posted but don't have access to it at the moment 

[Seul]

[Megatron1505]

Amazing, might have to cancel my promise about not hassling G today.

I'm so excited about this that it is the first time ever which I have bought a coat to allow me to buy another coat, I almost understand how Reudi feels  ???

[Giles]

Mega,

Try this…..

I sent it to Haraki, his response:

Unbelievable he is abnormal・・・・Great !

[madmonday]

thanks for the images seul.

the neck is so practical & genius. 

sure to be warm no matter what you are doing.  curious to see the sleeve details once it lands.  i hope as much consideration was taken on it as it seems was taken on the rest of this beauty.

[Megatron1505]

That video is incredible, but I work with a lot of scientist type guys ( they're into resins and stuff) who have pointed out some spray treatments which will achieve what I need.

These pictures just make me more excited…..going to lay down for a bit.

[madmonday]

so happy you mentioned the sprays.  i just figured some of your purists for all things done the old way would frown on that approach.

[Megatron1505]

I'm buying this as my winter coat, and it will be on my back every day until it gets too warm, no room to be a purist here this is a functional item.

[hectic]

Mega, I ordered some Barbour wax today and I am going to try with my BR, if it turns out ok then you could do the same with the IH deck jacket.

The outer fabric is a bit different but I dont think this should be a big deal.
