Now I know what it feels like

Post by Indiana_Fink »

to have a perfect brandnew Wested leather jacket lying on your dresser, and not be able to wear it because you send it back to get a different size because you were dumb enough to oder the wrong one.
:evil:

Saturday I received my "Tomorrow never dies" leather jacket, after 6 weeks of waiting. First impression out of the bag: Perfect. The looks, the colour, spot on. I lifted it up, and wow that is a heavy jacket, just right for the demanding life on her majesty´s secret service. I try it on, and NOOOOOO!!! (imagine a Darth Vaderesque NOOOOO from Revenge of the Sith, with my fist up high in the air) it was too big, I was swimming in it. My last straw, a thick pullover, but that didn´t help. In tears I pondered my options: gain back a lot of weight or ask Wested to replace it with a size smaller and wait again for 6 weeks. I chose to wait.

I could hit myself with a golden idol repeatedly on the head. the only thing I can say in my defence is, that I managed to lose a lot of weight in the past months and figured that XL would be the right choice for a jacket (my shirt size went from 3XL down to L).

Wested will make me a new one, which is great, considering that they don´t have them in stock, so they have to put twice the amount of working time in my order, for which I apologized to Gemma via mail.

I thought I mention this here to join the chorus praising Wested for their customer care.

Now it´s going to be a cold, long winter for me. The silver lining however is, I will be in London in two weeks and could go down to Swanley to the shop and get me an Indy jacket, shirts and pants. :D

Arrghhh! I feel for you!

Are you going to take the Bond jacket with you when you go over and save on the shipping?

Good luck in the shop, it's very tempting to buy everything in sight!

May I make a suggestion.... if you are going over why not let them measure you and be totally sure you get the right measure? I'm guessing the second onw will not take as long to make because we are over the Halloween rush... of course theres the Christmas rush to contend with. :)

Oh whilst you still have it.... pics please! ;0
