I predict, the next person to ask when they will be ready will be told 'about a month', that appears to be the new 'the check is in the mail'...

so you post distressed it yourself?

thats doesnt mean selling / shipping , so maybe another month or two onto that , who buys jackets in the summer

ortiz344

How exactly does that differ from a regular goat?
Does it just mean 'it was thrown in a washing machine'?
Or does it mean something else entirely?

If i threw my newly bought rola goat into my washing machine, would it turn out looking the same?

1 rola lamb
1 tod lamb
1 raiders goat

i just sold a todds xl (hoping to replace it this week with a wested goat)

[quote="Raider S"] If you were really interested in a jacket you'd give them a quick call. Talk to the owner of the business himself and tell him your feelings about customer service while you have him on the line. quote] If they were interested in getting/keeping customers, I wouldnt have...

I do think its HILARIOUS that here , the VENDOR is always right. When I mentioned I never got a reply I was told "I must have done something wrong", "I need to try to contact them again" as if its MY fault they dont know what they are doing or how to reply to an email.

ortiz344

I have emailed them twice and still not even an email just saying, "yes we got your email." Kyle Shoddy customer service, they dont appear to care. As a business, they should be happy to get unsolicited product inquiries from people dying to hand them money. Attempting to buy a product sh...

Folks DO get a simple confirmation on first contact. The '3 weeks to email' was attached to the shipment confirmation post above. It had nothing to do with initial contact. If you haven't received an intitial confirmation, you best suspect they didn't get your original email in the first place. The...

i got 2 an xl and a xxl, pics someday

prices dropped another $5 today

ortiz344

To get 100% accurate jacket for 700 is a steal. I think the CS jacket is underpriced. If you want a CS jacket why not just go for the real deal. I found that out the hard way. Before Tony came on the scene I bought 2 wested CS jackets before I bought the Nowak. Now I can't give my westeds away and ...

ortiz344

Then im not sure what his comment was looking for. For the record , I'd rip those prices too.

ortiz344

last I heard 700 to 1000-...COUGH, ahem What's your point? CS jackets are just under $700. Raiders in shrunken lamb is just under $1,000 and in other skins $750. For that you get a true custom jacket built to an extremely high standard. The Nowak I have is without doubt the best fitting item of clo...

Howdy, The jacket is the least recognizable iconoclast item in the Indy pantheon (fedora, whip, jacket). Why? Simple: tons of people wear leather jackets. 99% of people don't notice any details of leather jackets because they are so common. People notice the fedora because people don't generally we...

with all of our cow talk of accuracy and whatnot...how many times have you actually been stopped and asked "is that an indy jacket you have on"? Me, never. People are impressed when i tell them what they are, but never once has anyone at least admitted to me they knew what it was...(ps:it ...

i got 2 westeds ,1 wings and 1 todds for less than 1 nowak(that id be afraid to get wet or rip anyways) Yeah but in the end a Tony Nowak would be worth twice all those jackets and more.

My boots just arrived also. My initial impression is a great value. Below are some pictures next to my nine year old Aldens. The color on both is darker in person, more brown. It's probably my camera pushing the color lighter. They seem very comfortable. The leather is soft, very similar to my brok...
