Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
So does the discount end on 02/01, or is it over effective immediately? Reads like it's 02/01, but I just wanted to check.

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
I read it as 2/1 as well, but Sgt. will have to clarify that if it's different.
You see what I see, and know what I know about this.
That was the whole message, and 'as found' in my email this morning.

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
If it does end on the 1st, could anyone kindly clarify what the current discount is? I forget off the top of my head, but I might have to get an order in ASAP if that's the case...
Thanks,
Charlie

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
My suggestion would be to call Wings and ask what jackets this discount applies to at this time.

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
Wow, I emailed Sgt Hack and told him I'd be ordering the CE Signature Series in the next few days. I've been so excited to order, I thought, "Heck with it!" and decided to just order today when I got back from lunch and the price went up $100. Oh well, money saved I guess, pretty disappointing though...
Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
Economic realities, I guess. Unfortunate for the buyers in the short run, but I suppose that having a well-functioning, solvent Wings rather than get the discounts in the short run and have the business have to cut corners on quality or go under altogether.

I doubt they'd go under. They do a ton more business than just selling to us!

Yep, we're barely visible on the account spread sheets.

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
It was a wonderful ride they gave us!!! A huge hassle at times I would imagine as well around the holidays especially. Many thanks to them for giving us such big discounts!

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
Well, as a comparison, when the discount goes away it puts the Wings Legend series of Schott made jackets in the same price range as the G&B Expedition, and G&B warranty their jacket's zips, snaps and seams for the life of the garment to the original purchaser.
Current prices on the G&B Expedition today is $488 and $528 OTR*.
The Legend Striated and Bison are $495, also OTR*.
The Wings imports are still a great deal, but now equal in price with Todd's costumes OTR* offerings.
I'm afraid a great era of jacket bargains for the Indy fan is going away for this community with this announcement.
Who said progress was always good?

They still have the signature series goatskin for 195.00 (brown - a bit more in black). That's awfully good.

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
Yep. They are phasing out the goatskin Indy completely, so that's a great price.

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
I believe Todd's Costumes OTR's are still $149.00 and have free shipping if purchased through his Ebay store. So still one great bargain out there.Michaelson wrote:Well, as a comparison, when the discount goes away it puts the Wings Legend series of Schott made jackets in the same price range as the G&B Expedition, and G&B warranty their jacket's zips, snaps and seams for the life of the garment to the original purchaser.

Re: No more COW discounts at Wings
Wested OTR's a great bargain as well. Didn't mean to leave them out of the list above.....
