Curiosity again. What is the current turn-around for a Wested? I ordered mine on September 2 and am anxiously awaiting the e-mail from Peter saying, "Your order has been shipped..." I can't take it anymore, as my receiving this jacket will prompt the selling of about 3 of my Westeds...

Peter said that this week would be the start of his Christmas order, so it would take about a month.
Since you ordered yours at the start of September, expect it any day now. I think I waited for 5 weeks on mine and I ordered it late summer.

I ordered mine near the end of September, around the 27th...so maybe in the next 2 weeks?

When did you order it?

Well, I sent back a jacket I had ordered in June (I think) and never worn because it was too small. But I shipped that jacket back on 15 September, which would probably have taken a week to get to Wested. My wait may be shorter than the usual because it is a remake rather than a new order.

Forget everything I posted about delivery times. I got home at 5:45 pm and the jacket was waiting for me at the top of the steps. It looks great and has most of the modifications that I asked for. It looks great!
Now, where did I put that acetone?...

I was visited by the jacket fairy today as well. Eleven days sooner than expected. I got mine predistressed, so no need for acetone for me.

I ordered mine on the 20th of Sep and received an email on the same day confirming order and saying despatch should be in approx. 21 days.
Oh no!, seeing skywlkrinc's post has got my hopes up!
