Don't worry, it has arrived in destination country on 04-09-2006 which is at their international hub. Maybe "Parcel redirected" means that your jacket was redirected or sorted to your state delivery depot from the international hub. From there, they will deliver it to you. This is how the tracking system should show for international parcel. Enjoy your new jacketIndyDoc wrote:Still didn't come today. The tracking says for today, "Parcel redirected". Wonder what that means? They sent it to the wrong place?
Looks like I got some of the stuff I asked for, but not all.
BTW if one of those was was the black sliders then forget it. They can't get any. No stock from at their wholesale supplier. Current stock is antique brass D-rings and antique brass rectangular sliders.They should really let people know so they stop expecting them.IndyDoc wrote:I went and picked it up from the Post Office this morning! I had a notice that they tried yesterday but of course I was at work.
Looks like I got some of the stuff I asked for, but not all. (looks like they charged me the standard price also) I'll post a list of what was asked for and what I got and pictures in the next day or so.
I think that's absolutely fair so long as we do get the specs we ask for. I'm surprised that you haven't raised your prices in 10 years and price-wise, you cannot be beat by any measure for what you give us. But, Peter, you have to understand how disheartening it is to wait to get the jacket and realize the hardware was not as it was asked for, or something of that nature. That's something relatively simple and can be avoided simply by looking over the order form. I can only see it as a burden to the customer AS WELL AS youself. It's only more work and money coming out of your pocket. On the flipsode, I know Wested has to deal with people who take incorrect measurments of themselves and blame it all on Wested after the jacket doesn't fit or things like that, but I'm talking about basic things being overlooked, such as the X-box stitch or the leather facings, etc.I would suggest a price for stock sizes with skin options and a variable price for custom made according to spec.
What do you think?
I thought that's how it already worked actually. If you ask for modifications you have to pay extra. I was quoted a higer than normal price and that's what I expected to happen.I would suggest a price for stock sizes with skin options and a variable price for custom made according to spec.
See all those measurements do not take into account the difference in your build to Ford.IndyDoc wrote:I would be interested to know how different they are from the default. I think some of what I specified is fairly standard and I only specifed it because I was using Agent5's specs. It would be nice to know if any of that IS standard mesurements.
1.5" storm flap, 1"x 8.75" straps, scalloped pocket flap, maybe the leather collar stand are probably standard or close to it.
The pockets make the list look longer than it is, but aren't integral to the build of the jacket like say the back yolk or collar. The rest is pretty much adding or subtracting stiching or triming a corner.
No, they didn't tell me that. It would be nice if there was a "No, we won't do it list".Kt Templar wrote:and didn't they say at the beginning 'no' to changing the pleats (I'm guessing this particular mod is the big pain)? (I've already mentioned the sliders).
£185 Looks like they charged me £160 though (plus shipping of course) as that's what the invoice says.As a matter of interest, how much were you quoted?
Do they adjust things like the storm flap and straps? The pockets obviously should change with the size of the jacket, but I'd say I'm about Fords size. But again you COULD put 3x4 pockets and it would work fine. It would just look stupid. The rest of the parts obviously wouldn't work if you changed them that much.See all those measurements do not take into account the difference in your build to Ford.
Yeah, 2" extra lenght does wonders.Indiana_Tone wrote:You happy with it? Having one that was built for you and not someone else?I think it looks great!
Definatly! I'm sitting on it now.Now, it just needs to be worn and loved a little. Wink
I don't think so, 5--I think the thing here is that there are definatley two types of gearheads. Spirit gear heads and Screen Accurate gear heads. I'd say the majority of Peter's clients are Spirit gearheads--they saw the movie and liked the feeling and loved the jacket/character and wanted one like it. Peter's offering is a great mix between accuracy and wearability.agent5 wrote: I guess I'm too much a fantic that it's such a disappointment to have even small details off where it wouldn't bother most people. Sometimes I feel guilty about feeling this way, but then I remember there are others out there just like myself who are very detail orientated. I'm sure some of the lifers here can remember there used to be people who would get all anal about a cm. or even mm. off and even I think that's kinda nutty, but I admit I am alot more detail orientated than alot of people can handle.
