I shouldn't have had to ask 4 times about how to pay them for shipping the new one. If I hadnt said anything this morning it would have arrived and that would be that I guess.

Ah well..I'm an honest guy..to a fault I spose.

I checked the tracking number they gave and it has indeed left the country so it's likely over the ocean now.

Was hoping to get it for the easter weeeknd, but that isn't likely considering friday and monday are government holidays.

If you have any trouble with Customs just pm Indy G and you and he can go down together and straighten them out.........

Haha..in gear I assume!

Posted: **Thu Apr 09, 2009 10:59 am**

Yeah, be sure to take your whips......

Well my jackey according to the tracking number has been accepted in the country (vancouver) and that's it for a week! Still no sign of it.

Cry!

Well thats Canada Post for you once it gets here. Takes forever, and tracking I find barely updates. I just sent something back to Cali, it took 7 days for the tracking to update from "Accepted at Post Office". I think they screwed up though, since my item probably didn't leave Canada for 7 days... goofs... Anyway... When you get the jacket, make sure you let us know how it is and how it was with the customs stuff. Good luck!

Thanks! I am actually PRAYING it will arrive today. It is FINALLY "on route to delivery depot. I compared that to my shipping dates on the first one..and I probably wont see it until monday or tuesday. CRY another weekend without it...but maybe I'll get lucky.

I'll keep posting..thanks!!

Have you received the jacket in the mail yet?

Posted: **Wed Apr 22, 2009 2:34 pm**

I have been meaning to update here...YES it arrived FINALLY on monday evening.

It went on better....still kind of snug at shoulders yet chest and stomach feel looser. Much better fit!! I'll try to get a pic tonight but I'll be watching the kids alone and wont have time or anyone to snap the pics for me.

The good news was I DIDN'T have to pay duty or taxes. The customs form said, "Return/Repair" so I guess thats why the 1 week delay at customs. Now why couldn't Gemma have told me that they would say that on the forms!? Anyways I emailed them and told them the good news and thanked them for all the trouble.

I guess things are working out for me since we are havig bad weather this wek and possibly some snow. JACKET WEATHER!! Oh..what shold I do (if anything) to care for the jacket? Avoid rain? Should I protect it with anything?

Thanks guys!

Nice! That is great to hear that it came and no duty or taxes either! Sounds like its better then the previous jacket. And news of snow... that is no good. In Ontario were going to hit almost 80F this weekend!

I've read for protection just to use Pecards leather dressing, which u can get from pecard.com I've ordered some came in about a week, cost around $30 CDN total with shipping for a 6 oz tub of it. Looking forward to seeing the pics this time around of the better fit.

Yeah really nice spring eh?? So what good does being drenched do? Yup...Im a wested newb.

By the way...do any of you have experiences where people recognize the jackets? Any other comments?

Oh..Yeah I meant Gemma. I guess I remembered the 'e' and my brain filled in the rest wrong..oops!!

Yup spring in Calgary...

... Its like getting a new pair of leather gloves wet. It breaks them in and they just seem to fit better afterwords. I wore mine until it was dry and its gained some character.

Posted: **Thu Apr 23, 2009 10:40 pm**

Sorry for the delay. Here are a couple of pics. I have a long sleeved fairly thick shirt on underneath (cuz of our stupid cold snow again).

Posted: **Thu Apr 23, 2009 10:55 pm**

I think it looks better. How does it feel?

Now wear it in, wear it constantly!

What is the pocket measurement?

Posted: **Thu Apr 23, 2009 11:17 pm**

Pocket measures 8 1/2 x 6 1/2.

Wearing it now.

Posted: **Thu Apr 23, 2009 11:25 pm**

You sure look a lot happier with that jacket now. It looks like it fits more comfortably too. Glad to hear its all good now, and that your crazy ordeal is over with. Now enjoy that nice jacket you have there.

Posted: **Fri Apr 24, 2009 9:13 am**

Thanks guys. I enjoy wearing it...just wish it was spring like outside so I could wear it again today. It's wintery again so on goes my winter jacket again.

Hope to wear it to the comic expo this weekend if the weather improves!
