Definitely invest in some pictures of myself as well as some tailor measurements.

I got a small jacket, and then a jacket I can swim in

Turned me off to the whole indy experience...this is my first post in more than 2 months...

About two years ago, I ordered my Wested and when it came there were some problems with the workmanship. I called Peter and he said send it back, they would take care of it and refund the shipping. I sent it in and when I got it back, the repairs weren't done and there was no refund of shipping cos...

buletman

Regardless, the modifications I asked him to make had nothing to do with increasing chest/jacket size by 2 whole sizes...so That is why I think this is wrong jacket...

^my other jacket...

buletman

ob1, do you remember my other post? i think we determined that the first jacket was my fault...and I'm fine with that...but this one does not seem to be my fault...and honestely, if peter would give me back the other one I'd be happy too.. Although its probably all cut up by now... Oh...this is phys...

buletman

Anyone think I can send it back and just get a refund on the jacket and take 100 dollar hit for the shipping? I mean, I love indy, and a jacket as a souviner is nice, but I'd rather have the cash right now...

buletman

48 was my requested Chest, this is 50, Length is fine, neck is WAY to big...but This is probably my fault as I told peter I wanted it 3 inches bigger, and sleeves are too long this time, but once again, prob my fault, but actually sleeves aren't too bad...but chest and neck, it feels like I'm swimmi...

buletman

Ok, so if any of you remember my first post, the Jacket was too small... I sent it back, now today, I get my new jacket, and wouldn't you know it? It is too big...BUT I think this time it wasn't my fault, because the chest size is wrong, and I never asked Peter to change that, and it says on the cer...

buletman

oops...sorry, I haven't been to this forum in a while...

Do you still want me to get grabs? It seems the other grabs are fine.

Sorry again

Chad

buletman

ITG, what computer and what browser are you using? I'm having the same problems...and its my own website

...lol, some people can see it though...so any info would be greatly appreciated...

buletman

I have read the posting and looked up the relevant order which gives back measurements; sleeve measurements with arms out to the side of 13.5" and 39" respectively which nets down to 26.5" sleeve and we actually cut a 27.5" sleeve which is quite long. Obviously, this wasn't long...

buletman

Sab, my legs are quite long...

And as for the sleeve length, I cannot remember...I saved the other measurements because I had typed them previously, so I made sure to get them right, but the othe measurements with specific fields on the form, I did not save.

Thanks SAB...

ITG, all of the extras I requested, including the name tag, match.

Let's see what Peter has to say, maybe he will post something...

Chad

buletman

Whoa, you are a big fella! I do see some flaws though, Wested measures the sleeve length, from the top of the shoulder down. Shoulder to shoulder and back at seam are the same measurment. Also, since Wested made the mistake, you might want to ask them to re imburse you for having to ship it back, a...

buletman

The following are extra measurements I sent to be sure this doesn't happen...and yet it still did... " Shirt neck size (with 1 finger between the neck and measuring tape): 18" Shoulder to shoulder (arms straight down and from the broadest parts of the shoulders, which should be across the ...

buletman

Okay, I just shipped it back...$47.30...it stings...;) Flathead, last time I tried to send my measurments this happened. So, I figure, why can't he just "build off" the jacket? How hard could it be for someone to know that when they say a sleeve is 3 inches too short, they mean it needs 3 ...

buletman

Okay, this is exactly what I'm going to ask of Peter: Neck - 3 Inches Sleeves - 4 Inches Length - 3.5 Inches I hope this doesn't require the cutting of a whole new jacket. Thanks for the advice Flathead. Thanks everyone for all the advice. Chad P. S. If it weren't for the sleeves, I could live with ...

buletman

Flathead, at first, I thought what you though, but the elastic in the action pleats, gusset, two inside zippered pockets, and the name tag kinda make me thing that this is indeed my jacket

Chad

buletman

Ok, I just got off the phone with him, it will be in the mail hopefully very soon back to Peter.

Thanks guys...for a second there I was close to returning it on a one way trip...if you know what I mean.

Chad

buletman

No question, send it back. Either give Peter a call or an email, or in this case both, and let him know you're a bit peeved. Apparently they took your 'add 2 or 3 inches' and SUBTRACTED 2 or 3 inches from the standard length, hense your short sleeves. A mistake, sure, and one that can be quickly co...

buletman

Okay, first off, I think they gave me the Raiders style, and not the TOD because the certificate says it is Raiders (EDIT I found where it says TOD, it was my mistake, this is TOD). Second, the sleeves and length of jacket are WAY too short...like 4-5 inches on the sleeves, and 3-4 inches in length....

Chad

buletman

What does that mean?

buletman

Wow, thanks everyone... I think this is an appropriate spot to say what I have wanted to say for a while (and not trying to sound TOO corny...): This forum is like a second family, everyone (usually) has good intentions and helps each other out to reach a common goal. And well, I just want to say th...

No, I am very happy with it, but mainly because I made it. If I had bought this from someone, I would want a refund. For what it is, and considering I made it, I couldn't be happier.
