@LeftyJeenyus maybe the spring wasn’t seated correctly and needs to be rotated towards its base or on the post. If you have a fine pair of needle nose pliers you can grip it, compress it slightly and hope you can reseat it. 

I don’t have a J1A but I can check my J1E.

It's amazing that what started as a minor quip on the alignment of logo tape has turned into a full blown expose on MiC quality all of a sudden.

Keep these reports coming in guys. I remember only good reviews of the P30A when they came out last year so @zoobre's situation comes as a shock.

I remember the J63a auxzip fiasco in 2018, but don't remember a QC issue of this scale even for MiC products.

 

China / Asia is usually great with quality control pending the money and the correct people are overseeing manufacturing. From professional experience small details like this are common in the first few years or can pop up out of no where if controls aren't put in place when production tries to scale up. I hope they figure this out. Shit, I'd gladly "consult" because I love the product.

If I look at it from a production standpoint they’re producing a number of complicated garments. I’d assume their throughput and general functional quality checks for various garments (taking into account several materials, colors, etc) is barely enough to meet their release timelines. 

Threads can be missed. Logos and graphics can be misapplied. I’m not happy that these small issues exist, but it may not make “process sense” for the brand. 

A close friend made me a deal I couldn’t say no to for their J1E-GT

Is there a best practice for cleaning white GT without inducing any yellowing/discoloring? 
 

I searched the thread, but got distracted by someone getting roasted, and another photo of a jacket, (maybe crooked) logo tape up, in the toilet talking about flushing.

on a part you could produce at ten times the QD rejection rate without raising the product's overall price by more than 1% nonetheless.

Imagine how I feel as a quality/reliability engineer for a cycling company. It’s hard to not overlook the small things. 

I just checked all of my shells and J68 and two are off. One slightly. One very obvious. Normally I’d say this would be fine, but this is a brand logo graphic - a big no no. Who ever is pad/screen printing these parts needs to revisit the control plan.

I used mine for a spare mask - I always keep one in each jacket, a small thing of lotion and sanitizer (so much hand washing in the winter makes this black man look like ashy Larry), and film holders and batteries for either analog or digital cameras.

 I think it's funny the sleeve hitch tabs still exist!

Agreed with you on all this. My logo tape was fine but my P10-DS had some glaring quality issues like excess threads and what not. 
 

What the fuck do we use the hitch tabs for anyways? Wrong answers only.

WTB:

J1B-GT (white only) in either L or XL

If someone has it and is open for trades, I have a large J1A-GTKP in mint condition with bag and spec sheet for whoever is looking to add it to their collection.

 

Wrong spot. There is a classified thread you can post this to. In the mean time buy white in XL from here so I can stop tempting myself.

@mikon_nikon I'll throw in my hat as well. Would love to see pics to get a feel of the color in a "real" environment. If not, completely understand. have a good one mate.

Same here. My local has one in store and with the weather I might have to grab one. On SSENSE some C1s looks as if they are closely similar to mesh (i.e. see through) which would lower the appeal to me.

Awesome.  I really cannot live with tight.

Really appreciate the response.  Do you normally take a large in the pants as well?  Kind of jumping in head first.

I'm 6'2 and 205-215 and I go XL for both. As people told me, size pants for length and jackets for layering.

I could have done a L in pants and jacket, but I'm out of the phase of having limited mobility as a trade off for tighter clothes. You should be fine with what you got!

Black J1B in XL for all my fellow big dudes

Grabbed a black J1B-GT locally and it’s definitely a quick favorite thanks to the orange hood and the cut. Very happy. 
 

Finally I can stop spending money and save for next season

multi only available on mothersite? anyone know of US retailers stocking multi?

I’d assume it’s only mothersite exclusive like the J68 was.

it doesn't seem quite reasonable to expect them to honor the mistaken list price, however..  german laws are VERY protective of consumers and if your payment went through at the lower rate you might actually have a shot at holding them to it. 

I got an invoice for approx 1403EUR shipped to the USA.

@mikon_nikondid you do anything different or keep on persisting with the normal way?

I got to check out just my clicking the pay with paypal button multiple times, but it did not allow me to actually pay via paypal.

Just now, mikon_nikon said:

so my order went through, but at the intended RRP... placed in cart at 1k. checked out at 1.6k... 

Happy Monday to you 

Now do they cancel the orders or honor the mistake

1000 euros has to be a mistake right?? wtf

That’s exactly what I said. I’m going to pick my jacket up locally later and if it isn’t I’m gonna be mad lol.
