Does anyone know when Advintage will start taking orders again?
The notice on the site from early this year says they’d resume sales in the Summertime.
I couldn’t find a contact link in their shop.
Thanks!

Nope... I've been watching the site for some time now, hoping they will go green for orders... Ended up ordering some Federation IVs instead...

Well, they are cheaper and the guys here seem to like them. I haven't received mine yet, but I hope they'll be ok.

I have 5 AdVintage hats -- 4 Harrisons (2 rabbit, 2 rabbit/beaver) and a beaver custom-made. No knock on Fed IVs (I had 3 of those before discovering AdVintage) which are great hats for the money, but the AdVintage hats offer, well, some AdVantages when it comes to felt quality, color choices, accuracy and customization.LetHerGo888 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 11:47 am The notice on the site from early this year says they’d resume sales in the Summertime.

Your best bet is to email Thomas and ask. From the website:
"If you have questions, comments or inquiries, please send me an email anytime to service@advintage.de or simply use this contact form: https://shop.advintage.de/en/Hat-info/Contact/
I normally reply within 24 hours on working days. Thanks -- Thomas"

I'll definitely post about them!
Try also Howard Weinstein's advice, maybe email AdVintage, see what they say.

Saw in a Facebook post that Thomas will be opening orders back up in a couple of weeks. Depending how precise his estimate was, that would mean sometime around the week of November 28th.
Should we start taking bets on how quickly his queue will fill back up and need to be shut down again?

Orders officially re-opened today for handcrafted hats. The Harrison line is still unavailable.
Per the AdVintage website, the wait time for handcrafted hats is currently 90-100 days. There is also now a “Rapid & Carefree” option on the Masterpiece (incl. CS Hero) fedoras that bumps orders to the top of the queue for a hefty additional fee of €229.
For all those who have been waiting to order an AdVintage, Happy shopping!

Re: Does anyone know when Advintage will start taking orders again?
That's good. When you get past 90-100 days lead time it starts becoming onerous for all parties involved. Customers get frustrated and then want to cancel, the backlog becomes stressful for the vendor, etc. It would probably be good if the queue starts to back up again and the lead time gets around 120 days that he shut down ordering again until he catches up. And it's not Thomas's fault; I have a feeling the increased time lately had more to do with materials availability than demand. Demand certainly went up, but materials went way down.

Such a long time.

Hello there,
Order-production time seems quite fast...
Ordered the handcrafted Raiders Fedora on 29/11/2022.
Got the Payment request on 13/12/2022 , fulfilled the payment and now it is in production since 13/12/2022.
So perhaps I'm getting a nice X-mas present!!!
I'll keep you updated.
Still open orders !! Order yours!!!! before the orders close down...

Looks amazing! Beauty of a hat! Thomas does great work! I just got word that my Masterpiece Idol Grab with no turn is going into production! Excited, for sure.
Re: Does anyone know when Advintage will start taking orders again?
Looks like the Demand of Destiny has forced Thomas to pause new orders again. I really want to save up for another. Maybe a Masterpiece this time.
