Outerwear is here. Shipping has begun, and will continue through the week. Hoodies are scheduled to get in later this week, so orders with hoodies will arrive next week.

Christmas and the weekend will be delaying shipments, but we are doing everything possible to get your stuff to you asap.

Everyone who supplied a correct email at time of payment will receive an email with a tracking number.

Thanks for everyone's patience, and enjoy your First Drop gear!

they are lined up at the top of the shoulder. obviously its not exact, but the first drop is about 2-3 inches shorter than the saga jacket

as to the kid commenting about my funds.... get a job/s. I work three jobs. The benefits of these jobs are you can buy what you want. Its a beautiful thing really.

Just thought I'd clear something up. Saga's measurement is the front zipper, which is a few inches taller than the shoulder to waist cuff measurement.

The measurement on the first drop site is for the shoulders to the bottom waist cuff, so the Saga should actually be a little shorter.

I know this year's First Drop XL is slightly taller and less wide than last year's Saga, and I don't think they changed the sizing much for this year.

Maybe the guy who is 6, 4" could take a picture of him wearing both of them, the jackets are not lined up correctly for that picture....

If you want to get a sense for how the First Drop stuff fits, check the size chart- http://firstdropouterwear.com/fd/outerwearspecs.html and then measure on yourself from your shoulder down and you'll be surprised how low the jackets come.

Thanks! Glad everyone is stoked on the suits!

And as you can clearly see, the Saga jacket is slightly longer. Approximately 2-3" as I previously stated. First Drop is still very tall cut. You must take into account im 6'4" so everything looks small on me.

Thanks for posting those pictures! You may be interested to know about an XL Tall jacket that will be available at the end of January that is 5" taller than the XL, with 5" longer sleeves as well. Same fit and width as the XL, just WAY taller.

Enjoy the jacket!

Saga grew an inch this year, the XL went from 38" to 39". With First Drop at 37" (from the shoulder).

And an XL tall with 5 more inches would be nuts (42!), I just measured 42 and it hits me mid shin. woooowwww.

Also, any word on when outerwear orders with a hoodie ship?

We have shipped out all outerwear, some people have already gotten theirs.

Since some of the accessories (including the hoodies) are shipping around the 31st, we decided to ship all the outerwear and some of the accessories first.

We will send the other accessories separately, and of course we will cover ALL extra shipping costs. We just wanted to make sure everyone got their stuff asap.

Is it the same if we're in Canada? I mean are you shipping things seperately even if we're in Canada... or will I have to wait for the 31st?

And should we expect an e-mail with a tracking number or it will be a surprise as to when it gets here?

Cheers

Yeah, that applies internationally. We already sent out all outerwear and the accessories we had in early, and will send out the rest later this next week.

If you like the service and the gear, take some pics and let people know!

Saw a guy wearing it at Park City today! It looks even better in real life! The colors are even more vibrant when it's on the snow. Sooooooo sick, and the fit looked amazing.

It might just be the lighting but the guy who compared saga and first drop looks whack. In the first set the jackets green, and in the second set of photos its blue?

Got my pants today, they are sick. Stickers included. 6'4" 200, XL's. Straps loosened all the way.
Crotch just above my knees i think. They are so much sicker in real life.

so i just got my pants today and i thought i'd share my thoughts. They are perfect size (Large and i'm 5' 10'' 140lbs) but the waist... well the waist is huuuge. I almost feel like wearing a belt even with my suspenders on. The material is great and i love the design. The middle pocket on the suspenders is the only place i feel safe putting my cell phone/ipod on my whole suit without worrying of falling on them and breaking them so that's a plus. So without further adu:

My tall t-shirt just came.... I totally forgot I had ordered it hahahah. I saw the package and was kinda skeptical because I knew the package was too thin to be a hoodie.

it's a 2xl and comes down to about 4" from my knees. Looks to be of great thick quality cotton too. Can't wait for the hoodie!
