Looks really legit I might actually be interested in buying one. A couple of questions:

1. How long does it usually take for the jacket to be made and shipped?

2. Is there any feedback from recent buyers of the jacket? I trust you but it would be nice to see some feedback as to how it worked for park/ pow/ etc. from a couple different people

They are legit.

I was one of the first people to buy one of these jackets from Nick. Let me tell you, they are quality jackets. I skied mine all season, and it held up great. The fabric is superb, even on a super wet day where all my friends were soaked, I was the only dry one. Besides really kickass waterproofing, the fabric is tough, no real noticeable damage occurred to it from falls on rails or snow. It will keep the pow out: the customizable length helps keep snow out, along with the draw cord at the bottom of the jacket. In my personal opinion, it is one of the best jackets i have ever owned.

One last note: you can make this jacket as unique as you want it. So i say take advantage of that! Fabric color, thread color, zipper color (including dual colored zippers). you can do whatever you want.
hope this helps!

Depending on the jacket design & fabric, but usually anywhere from 2-4 weeks

As far as user feedback goes, I've had minor critiques from customers in which I've made minor corrections to the design and construction.
Hopefully the people i've sold jackets to could help me out here with a little feedback...

But for realzzz there are so many promotion threads that dont get deleted because of of hierarchy. Yet i have noticed so many of my threads im following get deleted lately and i have no idea why. Its not like this is some business where he is making a ton of profit and selling mass product.

No i have noticed some threads not getting deleted because the people who created them (some former mods and whatnot). Its likely this gets deleted and it shouldnt in my opinion.

All my jackets are shells, I usually wear 2 - 3 layers depends on the day and I stay plenty warm, but more importantly... DRY

pretty warm, a few layers underneath will beat the biting cold, the fabric itself is really windproof and whatnot, so really as long as you have a few baselayers on underneath, you should stay warm .i find that if i overheat, i can unzip the jacket a little and ill cool off fairly quick on the lift, or on the snow.

Hey man I got a red and white one from him and it keeps me warm. I usually layer up when skiing anyways so it works perfect. I work at costco and i had to push carts in the rain the other day. Everyone else working with me was soaked but it kept me totally dry. I was super amped on being dry after working in the rain all day.

My current jacket it some cheap grenade one i bought thats more like a windbreaker if anything. You'll freeze your ass off if you dont wear a layer or two. I'm deffinately going to look into maybe buying one of these jackets dude, I haven't found any that i really liked in a long time and these are so sick.

can you add pit zips to a jacket? also, mabye a moisture wiking mesh liner would be neat... then it would be more suitable to be worn on a regular basis outside of skiing.

just food for thought.

yep, pit zips can be added.

Once you insert a liner on top of the already 3 layer fabric, you basically take away the technology of the breathability. Little do people know but the breathability of your fabric is actually more important then the waterproofing. Depending on the liner you choose, you could probably add something light weight and not take away to much of the fabric technology.

Yo Newschoolers,

Just wanted to put the word out, if you or anyone you know is looking to get a new custom jacket for next year, I highly encourage you to order sooner rather then later. Once the season comes around I gettons of orders, and get super busy. So the sooner you order the sooner you'll have you jacket.

Spread the word

thanks guys!
