A lot goes in to shipping. Keeping track of outgoing and incoming inventory while processing orders is a nightmare.

We all want our gear though, so don't get me wrong!

I feel ya, i just want my gear, and feel like saga isn't trying too hard to even get us pictures of it.  Hell, even Jiberish has more pictures of their line than saga does.

ok now THIS point i definitely agree with...that little teaser thing they did on their site with the anomie jacket a couple weeks ago was fucking bullshit. theyre in the business of selling a product but they'll only show us super close-up shots of the fucking thing. the renderings of the gear in their outerwear section dont count cause they dont portray the colors 100% accurately. i want to see what an actual jacket from this year's line looks like ON A PERSON, not close-ups of the seams and zippers. they need to stop trying to be cute and just put the whole damn coat in frame so their customers can actually fucking SEE it.

Then you definitely don't want to check up on some of the more recent updates to the Saga blog..

In one of the pictures where the inscription talks about getting a chance to test the new winter line in real conditions everything is intentionally blurred out. From the picture you can basically tell it's a person in a jacket, and they're posing for a photo that was taken in black and white.

i agree but not so harsh. i would casually ask for some pics of the jackets on models if possible. just so we no whats up. no need to freak out we will see the real thing in like 20 days or whenever it is.

Alright question for all you Saga geniuses. Are the jackets able to be dry cleaned? I have one and its rather dirty and I want it nice and clean for the upcoming season so... can they be? or will it melt the fabric? I tried looking for the tag that usually says how to go about cleaning it but there wasn't one. So help me out NS.

Yeah, what I think is that sure, these little blurred out teasers are awesome in the Spring/Summer to get a peek of what's to come. But come one, if you already paid for the suit, shouldn't you at least get to know what it's going to look like?

yeah, i mean theyre a business for chrissake. to the guy above who said "i agree but not so harsh" i say i can express this sentiment as harshly as i want. it's not like theyre Apple getting ready to release a new iphone and havent taken pre-orders yet. no, theyre releasing outerwear that a lot of people have already paid good money for, what's the fucking point of jerking us around at this stage? just post some decent pics of the stuff.

What the pre-order information thing actually says is: "We are estimating all pre-orders shipped Priority by November 30th, 2010 and hopefully even sooner."

Hence shipping should probably start before Nov 30th. Not that I care, since I won't get my hands on my own jacket before Dec 21st anways (since I put my home address and not my college address in the preorder)..

how would i know whether i like it or not without seeing the product? i might like it a lot, but it generally sells out before the presale is over, so i basically have to buy it to find out...

all im saying is that it's an annoying business practice that they employ, i generally like everything else about Saga as a company, i just think they should change how they act with regard to this one thing.

There are a few good pictures in there, and some interesting information about Saga as a whole.. But it's still trying to be too artsy instead of straight up informative.

For those that don't want to read, this is what you wanted to see anyways...


"We plan to begin shipping a portion of pre-orders by next Friday"

BUT...

"If your order does not ship out in this first batch please know we are still following our original shipping schedule to have all orders out by November 30th.  All shipments going out will be based on the order placed along with the sizes and colors that arrive to us first.  We will be operating around the clock to get outerwear heading your direction. Please stay tuned as we will have more updates to come."

i loved getting to read about the factory workers. and i think the pictures in this little release were the best we have seen yet. straight up, no blur, no b&w, no color touching, just pictures. and getting the shipping info wasnt half bad either.

It's Wiley and Collin Collins so they've probably had it for a while.

I also noticed the pants looking a little tight, but A) it's Wiley who I've never seen wearing baggy gear to begin with and B) He's mid stride at an awkward camera angle.

Collin in the full black suit is probably a better indicator for real fit.

here's something encouraging.. i guess.

"In order to streamline shipments from our manufacturer, freight was shipped to us in two disbursements. We are still on schedule to ship by November 30th. That being said we do expect our first shipment to arrive later next week with our 2nd and final shipment to arrive in the coming weeks. We plan to begin shipping a portion of pre-orders by next Friday. If your order does not ship out in this first batch please know we are still following our original shipping schedule to have all orders out by November 30th. All shipments going out will be based on the order placed along with the sizes and colors that arrive to us first. We will be operating around the clock to get outerwear heading your direction.

the lobster is one shade MORE RED that last years. this means that in photos and through some goggles its going to appear to be orange just like last years. its so close on the color spectrum that its almost an optical illusion. when you pull it out of the box its going to look mighty red, but when you snap a cell shot to send to some homies its gunna look mighty orange.

"Some employees even put their own jackets under the heat press to transfer the Saga logo on to their jackets."

-kinda disappointing that their logo is screen printed on this year as opposed to embroidered...
