Yeah, it was telling that they did not allow me to touch the Moon Parka. In fact, I found out afterwards when speaking to a North Face associate that was working during the Moon Parka display in Harajuku, they didn't even allow the salespeople at The North Face to touch it.

They admitted that the blue dress was not really all that strong after it had been on display a while and an associate at the TEPIA museum told me that it felt really coarse, similar to burlap, so I am guessing the Moon Parka had similar problems and they still haven't worked out all of the issues with their production.

It looks like issues with quality and consistency is a common problem throughout all spider silk production methods. I hope that KBLB can resolve their issues with the simple setup of climate controlled or overseas production facilities. Time will tell if this is the case.
