BK Jacket Turnaround Time

[knibs7]

Just wanted to see what everyone's turnaround time has been lately with BK, especially with the TOD and LC jacket. When I got my first BK a few years ago, it didn't seem like it took too terribly long, but this time it seems like it's been taking FOREVER.

TIA!

I received an A-2 from them in mid-January that I’d ordered in early August. Same great quality, but yeah, it took about 3 times as long as my previous jacket from them. I think they’ve been insanely busy, especially with one of their employees splitting off the form his own company.

I ordered a ToD on Dec 21. Finally received an email from them 4 weeks after I sent one to them. They said they would ship in about two weeks, yet it's been 4 weeks since and no word. I'd say safe bets are 6 months turn around or so but we'll see

I know they have been experiencing some email issues.

[Mulceber]

Yeah, back when I thought my A-2 fit poorly (it didn't - I'm just used to Indy jackets), it took like 4 weeks to get Andy to respond to my email. Maybe there's some growing pains going on there: they've gotten a lot busier in the last year or so, but their operation has basically stayed the same size.

I'm also curious to know who out of the original list has already ordered their jackets... bc if we've all ordered, we should be getting the 15% discount...

To include the entire post from last October:

Considering the amount of time, energy and money we put into this project the jacket should be valued higher in line with other jackets in our roster, but because we wanted to keep this Indy fan friendly the price was set at GBP 500.

There will be a 15% discount for the members listed below that will apply provided that all of them purchase the jacket as agreed.

The members can proceed and purchase the jacket at full price now and the 15% will be refunded to them once all the members above have honored their word and made the purchase. If the list of orders as above is not completed or taking a long time to get completed the customers who have ordered will be refunded a smaller amount depending on how many persons ordered but around 10%. The persons from the list who will not make the purchase until Dec 25, 2018 will lose their right for a discount.

Another way this can work is if one trustee member collects the money from everybody and hands it to us together with the names and sizes people want. In that case the discount will apply immediately (i.e. you will pay GBP 425 per jacket). The shipping costs will then be settled individually between the members and ourselves.

Please discuss it before start sending us individual orders.

As of that time, only half had actually ordered, and there has been no update since, so it's hard to say exactly where, or even IF that 15% discount applies now.

I highlighted the paragraph that kind of answers your question, knibs. There was a deadline for all the listed individuals to honor their promised purchase and get a discount. The quest is, did they all buy?

That was why i was asking if they all bought...

[Michaelson]

Yeah, it kind of went radio silent, didn't it?

I've also been really surprised there hasn't been a "Show Us Your BK LC Jacket" thread...

My Grail jacket was about 3 months. I think it was about two weeks under the quoted lead time in the e-mail. Quality takes time

[azuma]

I paid my LC on Oct 23rd 2018, and still waiting. If the turn around time is 5-6 months. It should show up soon.

I paid for mine on the 26th of October and I've had my jacket a few weeks, maybe yours has been held up in Customs or something.

FYI, the Fortune and Glory jacket is killer. I was not disappointed.

Let's see..how does it go again?

Oh yeah:



Seriously though, I'm thinking about ordering that exact jacket and would love to see how it fits on a person. Also, did you go with lamb or goat?

As a reminder, if folks are going to post pictures of jackets received, please do so in the established BK threads. This thread isn't meant for showing off jackets received.

It might be worth re-naming the BK thread then, because iirc it’s specifically for the Relic Hunter.
