Well I couldn't resist ordering a LC jacket!

Post by orb »

I've ordered a LC jacket yesterday at Wested! I hope they won't ignore my order :twisted:
I have chosen db cowhide this time. I already had this leather for one day but I had to send it back. I also don't needed much special advices for Wested. I just gave them my measurements and I wanted those new PLATON SA Raiders pockets and no leather facings near the zipper. Well the pockets may not so accurate for a LC but it's better as the standard big not scalloped pockets ;) I also told them to make the pocketflaps more hugh.
Does anybody know if Wested have some kind of thicker lambskin leather available? Then I would may change to Auth. Lambskin.
Now I'm starting to count the days :P

Much regards

Well done, mate! Platon's poockets are certainly more accurate than the standard Wested LC pocket.

Approximately two weeks ago, I placed an order for a custom HH. I called and spoke directly with Peter. I received e-mail confirmation, and follow-up from Gemma, within a few days.

i didn't have much luck with my e-mail enquirry on a SA raiders jacket...i sent it multiple times. i even called them to see if they received the e-mail. the whole experience left me with an impression that they do not want to do a custom order for me.

i hope you have better luck than i did.

Indiana G they don't like us both :-k
My order for a custom TOD jacket was also ignored ~ one month ago. Now again! :evil:
I have now placed the order a second (last) time. If they don't reply I'll give it up! I also still wait for a piece of press stud fastener. Gemma wrote me 8 weeks ago that they will send me this stuff. Nothing yet. Also no reply on any mails. May it's also a sign. Let the jacket go :lol: I think I should aim for an AB DX with lc bash! :D

Much regards

Ditto.

Though my first 2 orders went by without a hitch, the third seemed to go by rather slowly, considering that it was an off the rack and it took 2 weeks to ship (at least I'm assuming it shipped, since I was told it would ship last Monday, but till now, despite repeated requests, I have not recieved the shipping notification. No more emails since.

And for the current two orders that I've placed for SA jackets, I haven't even recieved any response. Nothing to even let me know if they even have recieved the order, and I've tried emailing them a few times (even resubmitting the order), but have yet to recieve any replies.

I wonder if they hate repeat business? ;) Or maybe they just have me in their blacklist! I really like Wested's jackets, but I do wonder if they like us! :P
