When we released the Storm Cats Drive Jacket, we actually received many requests for the regular jacket without the blanket. It's better to finish the unlined jacket pattern first and then to alter it for the lined version so we have finished the cut pattern for the unlined version first and we've been waiting for the spring to come.
Recalling my denim history, I realized that I haven't really worn any left hand twill myself so it's the best timing for me to try it and experience it.It's often said that the left hand twill tend to show some strong vertical fade, which some call heavy rain fade and I gotta say that's true. As a businessman, I admire Steve Jobs and I like his story about connecting the dots and sometimes refers this story to denim fade but I'd say this Cats Drive shows more like "Line" fade than dots and I like it as much.
□Size
Sena with an OAKLEY cap. 170cm 60kg wearing size 36.
He prefers a snug fit for jackets and it's a good and snug fit with a T-shirt underneath.
Some light sweatshirt can be worn inside if the jacket is worn with the front buttons are open. In the production line, he does the waist belt and the cuffs on these jackets. Because the width of the waist belt and the cuffs is wider than the regular Levis model, the fabric gets twisted as we sew so you need a little trick to learn for this model.
Mizu with long hair & a D cap. 171cm 63kg wearing size 40
He is about the same size as Sena but he likes more relaxed fit.
He thinks of wearing some relaxed sized hoodie inside so he needs a little room for it.
He got flu while the production was going on and he was supposed to work on the lap seams on the shoulder. The other members supported his work while nagging a bit but now he's back and sound.
TK with a white cap 180cm 68kg wearing size 44.
To me, his best fitting size should be 42 but his style is more like 90s Skater style so he wants a roomy fit.
He does most of the difficult parts of sewing on these jackets. Because left hand twill fabric tend to woven with higher density than right hand twills, the needles broke a lot in the production this time. Now he likes the jacket design wise but also hates this one if thinking about how troublesome it is.
