We should have a sample of the SEXSC in the store around Oct 5..

But we'll have photos up well before then.

There are LOT of people that tried on the SEXSC already, we had them for about two weeks in the store before we sent them off to a magazine for model shots.

Other color?

That's the entire point of the William Gibson collection, that they're ALL black.

[tangerine]

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

Are they doing one with a surreptitious cigarette burn pre-applied?

do you have any pics of that kiya? and is that the long model? im desperately wanting the long gibson, the short flight jackets are just too short for my liking.

[kiya]

There will be no long models of this made.. but wait till you see this thing.

If you're a William Gibson fan it'll probably make your head explode even seeing these two photos.

[sonny]

i can't wait to see the gibson jacket in person.

[habia]

Can't wait to try on that jacket. I hope some are still around when I am back in the bay area in December..

I remember hearing that the first Buzz Rickson run of Gibson MA-1s had some tall sizes. Will this be true for the LB-2 as well?

One more question: is there a rought price for this yet?

Those pictures look great.

[jubei]

OT, but who could you see playing Cayce (protagonist from Pattern Recognition who rocks a Buzz Rickson) in a movie?

I would say either Natalie Portman or tg76

There are no tall versions of this L2-B, only regular.

We're looking at retail being at about $575

I feel like the real Cayce would not rock that Blue Ant edition jacket though. Lettering seems strangely gaudy even though it's on the inside. Pattern Recognition was all about sublime minimalism.

Ah, whoops I realized you already answered my question.

Still looks great. Thanks again.

Is the L2-B the exact same cut and material as the MA-1? I remember the MA-1 costing a bit less.

Anyway, by coincidence yesterday someone sent me an old article Gibson wrote about technology and Japan. Pretty interesting, and he mentions the MA-1 for about half a sentance.

nice article habia...thanks for that.

[unklesteve]

Excellent pictures of your WIFE sporting those new duds.

And congrats to the both of you.

[beatle]

Funny how this one looks like the kind of apron that women used to wear in GDR...

But this is surely better quality...

It's the same cut as the MA-1, but it's lighter weight, but because it's a more advanced jacket it withstands lower temperatures while still being lower in weight.

Kiya,

I just wanted to say, I'm really excited to see the SExSC soon. I hope that is going according to plan!

Went to lovefest in SF this weekend, and I saw a guy wearing the black overdye ironheart collabs for the first time in person, and they looked fucking awesome.

Kudos kiya.
