I just wanted to share my Tony Novak CS jacket.
I tried my best to avoid him at the Queen Mary summit this past November. I knew I would love his jackets and didn't really want to get hooked. I then had a customer drive down from Washington to pick up a hat I made for him and just fell in love with his Novak CS jacket.
I went back and forth with Tony because Tony wanted to make sure we were on the same page as what I wanted. I simple said I wanted a CS jacket and silly me, it's just not that simple for Tony. He wanted to make sure every detail was just right. He wanted to know if I wanted the darker color or the light color. light distressing or the heavy distressing. He wanted to know if I wanted just the one pocket or if I wanted more. These are the type of things he wanted to make sure we all had nailed down along with measurements and fit.
I was going to start my holiday cruz very near where his shop is. He invited me to visit so I can try on some sample jackets to see how jackets fit me. I wasn't going to go against how he works ( I have a little understanding of that). I tried on a couple of jackets and bang. Found the perfect fit. Asked me what I wanted written on the inside of the jacket. I also had my family with me. My wife, son, sister and her son. He was very nice to everyone and even got a smile out of my 17 year old nephew who is in that stage that never wants to smile.
He was so giving of himself and his time. He didn't have to chat and joke with the kids but he did. he was doing nothing more than being himself.
I had some great time spent on the phone with Tony when I got back from my trip.
When I got the jacket in the mail I was blown away. It came in a great canvas bag with the same zipper and liner as the jacket. Sewn on the outside of the bag in leather was the name Novak. Nice way to package his jacket. very good touch. The jacket fit just perfect and just love the way it feels. The thing that stood out is the distressing. He did it without touching any of the stitching. The man is good. I have yet to take the jacket off. Enough of me going off like a Monday morning wash women.
here a pic that my buddy Dusty aka smokeater7 took using my iphone. Im waiting for the pics that squiddkidd. When I get them I will post them here. I will also post a couple of video's I made today. You can really get a great idea of how great these jackets are in these vids.
