Well, still waitin' paitently....

Piers · Post by **Piers** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 12:07 pm

trying not to think about it..

I got an email from Gemma today stating that they just started the cut this week and it will take another 3 weeks to expect delivery (early/mid-Jan. for me it looks like

).

RCSignals · Post by **RCSignals** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 10:07 pm

I thought it was stated they started the cut for the 40's on time, or is this reference to yours and other sizes?

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 10:25 pm

Wow...well..umm...i hope those who ordered sooner will recieve it sooner. I ordered mine on the 29th...I was expecting it before christmas....I hope that wish will be granted!

Han Jones · Post by **Han Jones** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 10:29 pm

I ordered on the 30th of October and was told today it would be here before Christmas.

Piers · Post by **Piers** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 11:06 pm

sounds hopeful! what size? I'm 42 and I ordered on the 29th

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 11:49 pm

I ordered a 50 on the 29th of October. I guess a bigger size requires a bigger cut but does that require more time?...hmm...

I ordered a 44 on Halloween. I figured I'd get it by Christmas but if not no worries.

When I found out about it's slimfit design AFTER I had ordered and which did not take into account, I decided it may be in my best interest to drop a few pounds to ensure proper fit.

This just gives me more time.

I also ordered on the 30th so that's good news. (size 40)

PSBIndy · Post by **PSBIndy** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 9:35 am

I ordered mine on Nov. 6th and was told it won't ship out 'til the first week of Jan (size 44).

I think it's safe to say Wested is incredibly busy at the moment.
I'm trying to concentrate on other things now, and will just have a pleasant surprise when my Temple jacket arrives when I least expect it!

indyrocks · Post by **indyrocks** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 1:26 pm

Does anyone know how many of the 60 have been sold?

RCSignals · Post by **RCSignals** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:08 am

Any more updates?

crismans · Post by **crismans** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 10:49 am

Not sure it's that much in the way of an update, but I found out Wednesday that my jacket has been cut (ordered on the 29th).

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 1:28 pm

cool! That means mine was cut...cannot wait for these jackets!!!!

It means I cannot wait to get this jacket...oops...not direct at me!

HWaltonJonesJr.Phd · Post by **HWaltonJonesJr.Phd** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 6:28 am

Ha ha. No, just aching for some photos of the ToD jacket...

Sorry, hadn't checked the thread lately. No, 29th of October.

knibs7 · Post by **knibs7** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 11:00 am

Ok thank you for clarifying that...I was informed my jacket has been cut, but unfortunately, I selected a size too small. Oh well, we'll see how it turns out. Maybe I'll get lucky

Nibs

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 12:20 pm

Knibs, cant you adjust the side straps using the sliders? That should enlarge the jacket..right?

Holt · Post by **Holt** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 12:22 pm

doing that wont effect the shoulders and chest at all

knibs7 · Post by **knibs7** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 1:12 pm

Ya, the sliders only widen it. The thing I am worried about is the front, where the pockets are bc on my current Wested, it seems a little short. The shoulders are fine. For example...

Nibs

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 1:18 pm

oh, hmm...I thought the sliders, at least in my case, gave it room. Well, one size should be ok. I ordered a 48 a while ago when I wear a 50. Loosened the sliders and fit perfect. Well, I guess we just have to wait and see! Good luck!

RCSignals · Post by **RCSignals** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 9:01 am

I guess we should keep this thread going and keep Tron's on topic.

crismans · Post by **crismans** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 10:00 am

Hmm, I was told my jacket was already cut but I ordered a 50.

Probably best to just forget it as much as possible and be surprised when it arrives.

Tron, RCSignals, Kevin Anderson, does this mean I'm #4 to receive?

I think so. There are a lot still unaccounted for, or this site counts for a minuscule number of ToDs ordered.

Looks good Piers!

Piers · Post by **Piers** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:17 pm

oops, just flipping through the forum, forgot about r.deckard.. make me #5, on COW that is

RCSignals · Post by **RCSignals** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:19 pm

Yes, he did. Has he posted pictures yet?

Piers · Post by **Piers** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:20 pm

not yet

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:25 pm

well..still awaitin....

Atticus · Post by **Atticus** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 2:13 am

I called Wested today. I was told it would ship this Monday. I ordered Oct 30th. Hopefully I'll get amended side vents.

I suspect you will, along with the collar stand end

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 11:51 am

Have any of the 50 size patterns shipped yet? Hope the vent and collar will be corrected!

RCSignals · Post by **RCSignals** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 3:40 pm

Do any of the ToD jackets received so far have the top of the back panel extend to the shoulder seam? Mine falls about 1/4 - 3/8 " short on each side.

Perhaps this is how the NH jacket was? There aren't any good detail pics of the back of teh NH jacket that have been posted to tell.

St. Dumas · Post by **St. Dumas** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 11:17 am

Now that so many of these jackets have arrived, can some of the TOD owners let us know whether you submitted you actual tailored measurements with your order, or simply the fill-in-the-blank jacket sleeve, back lengths on the Wested website order page?

Thanks.

SD

Piers · Post by **Piers** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 11:34 am

the second one

Kevin Anderson · Post by **Kevin Anderson** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 12:05 pm

Yep, the second one for me too. It helped; jacket only took two months!

serrecuir · Post by **serrecuir** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 12:14 pm

Same as Piers and Kevin. I submitted only the mesurements requested in the drop-down order form on Wested's site. No other requests or measurements were given.

Kind regards,
Craig

St. Dumas · Post by **St. Dumas** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 12:16 pm

Many thanks, Piers, Kevin, Serrecuir. That makes it easier.

r.deckard · Post by **r.deckard** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 1:00 pm

I just used the drop down fill in the blanks for mine and the result was the best fitting jacket I've ever received from Wested.
