How long does it usually take Marc to reply to emails?

I'm trying to order a Henry and it's been a few weeks now, in the meantime I've had an AB holster from Kim and he said "don't worry he'll get back to you evantually!"

Just wondering how long eventuually might be.

Cheers ZOLTAR

Hi,

You really need to email Stefan at switthuhn@hotmail.com. He's the dude who deals with the Henry orders and he's quick to reply. Hope that helps.

Ian

If you are in the US or Canada. I would suggest contacting me. Out side of the US contact Stefan switthuhn@hotmail.com.

Sorry John, I assumed that Zoltar was in Europe.

Ian

I thought Zoltar came from space.

Transmute!!!!!

Might have been that - Either way it stalled the baddies long enough for them to form a human pyramid.

$2000'll get you a lot of hat!! Great choice of lid! Going for any particular scene?

Ian

No, I dont' get into all the different scene stuff. There are only a few basic creases as far as I am concerned: Raiders with & with out turn, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, Young Indy, & Crystal Skull.

Hey interbak (Brian)

I've been dying to use this smilie and you're just the one who gets it..Keep smiling! ;0

Thanks Ian I'm in Blighty so I'll give Stefan a try.

Wonder if there's a Gatchaman forum you can discuss SA shades of lipstick for your Zoltar gear?

We often discuss the gender of Zoltar after a few beers in the local.

What size are you? Just a heads-up; I ordered a size 59cm and I needed to put foam strips in sweat so that it fit me. I can't vouch for the other sizes, but the 59's seem to run a size larger. If I got another I'd order a 58cm. Might be worth mentioning it on the email. Apart from that, I love my Henry, I've bashed it LC with plenny o' curl in the brim.

There's a discussion about it here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34575&start=150

This will be my first Hat so I'm still unsure what size I'll be going for, I measured my head at 58.5cm with lots of hair, I'm not too sure how much difference your hair makes though. I've asked Stefen/Marc for there advise with regards to measureing and sizing so I'll see what they come back with.

We've done exactly the same thing "down pub", probably why most of my mate's are still single at 40

[Sorry to go of topic guys any other questions I'll post in the Henry thread Ian linked to]

Yep Stefan's the man, he got back to me right away.
Now where's my wallet?

ZOLTAR

Maybe you dropped it when you were on the toilet.

Hopefully not in the toilet!

Dave

I know some folks flush their money down the drain, I just didn't think they were quite so literal about it.

I just saw Darth sitting on the toilet and thought just maybe thats where he lost it.

Talking about going down the drain, it's this thread. Lets get back on target.


Lets see some more AB hats please.

Have you got an AB John?

Ian

Ian wrote:Have you got an AB John?

You camera shy or something?

Ian

No, I just thought everyone here has seen my Ab's so many time they must be tired of them. Heres my first and oldest Ab from Steve.


I'm currently waiting for my CS hats from him and it is well worth the wait. so be patient fellows.

It was John's AB that convinced me and made me pull the trigger on one. Possibly my favorite AB I've seen on these boards.

Dave

Sorry John. As a newbie, I haven't seen the older post. Nobody is gonna get bored with seeing that though. Class!!!

I've got the CS and love it!! It's the only beaver lid I've got at the moment.

Ian

Is it true, guys, that the new Raiders rabbit hats have a shorter wait time?

Scott , go and check out steve's site.
Steve has post about both beaver and rabbit hats.

Ok...got it! 4 to 6 weeks, thanks!

Yeah John- don't be afraid to show more pictures!!! That is a BEAUTIFUL AB you have!

Right now I only have 1 AB (the 2006 "Ford Felt" Raiders I just posted pictures of the other day) and an AB Deluxe reblocked by Steve into a CS. I used to have another AB from 2006 that I had reblocked into a CS that I had to sell since I needed the money then.

But I do have an AB Deluxe on order with Marc (Should be almost done right now!) and an AB CS Grey Train Traveller on order.

Actually, there is a picture thread dedicated to showing your Adventurebilts. http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12649

This one is about the wait time.

I would LOVE to show pics of my AB! I paid enough for it, and I want to share it! But, I'm pretty computer illiterate and for the life of me can't figure out how to post pics here. Could someone PLEASE e-mail me and share the secret?!? I would be immensely grateful.

Thanks to Bending Oak for his help. Here's a picture of my Adventurebilt Crystal Skull.

Anybody have any idea where we are at now? I've been trying to email Steve about a sizing discrepancy with my order but haven't been able to catch him...

I wanted to know what is the best way to reach Steve? I have never contacted him before. I have a question about size and if I may need a reblock on one of his hats?

THe best way to contact him is via email. However, when you do email him, put in the subject line something to the extant of: SIZE UPDATE ON MY ORDER, FIRST (or SECOND)ATTEMPT.

jlee562 wrote:Anybody have any idea where we are at now? I've been trying to email Steve about a sizing discrepancy with my order but haven't been able to catch him...

As far as where we are, only Steve knows sometime in Dec 2007 and Jan 2008 orders last time he chimed in. If your trying to get a hold of Steve Bruce Wayne has give you some good tips, I would also add Urgent to the subject title as size change is a pretty urgent matter. Hope your able to get a hold of him.

IndianaChris

Yeah, I already put "second email" on my second email. I was saving "Urgent!" for email #3. I'm a July '09 order, so mine is still a ways off.

I'm still waiting on a Nov 2007 order.

Bernie

I received my June 07 nearly two years ago in June 08. Must have been a lot of hat orders after mine.

I think there was a member in this thread that was the same as you a Nov. 2007 order. I believe still is working on the Dec 2007 and Nov 2007 orders. But I would shoot him up an e-mail or something just in case. With Urgent in the subject line. I'm sure he has not forgotten your order. I am a January 2008 order so I know I probably won't see my hat yet even though I heard from Steve that he was starting into some of January 08 orders. I guess there was a lot of Nov. 07 & Dec. 07 orders still needing to go out, plus I remember Steve staying he ran out of boxes at one point. Anyways I guess the word I am looking for is patience. All of a sudden one day you will receive a white box.

IndianaChris

March '08 order here...the 16th to be exact. 2 years, 2 months and 2 days ago I ordered...and began 'the wait'.
I started off the wait with enthusiasm and excitement, which then turned into patience and anticipation, now I'm at 'oh well, who cares'.
It'll be neat to see that white box on the doorstep, and to actually hold the little sucker in my hands!

How does Steve send his works of art to his customers? USPS, Fedex, or UPS?

Thanx!!!
Charlie

USPS.

...that could almost be a Jeopardy question.

I started waiting around July of '08. I guess I'm no longer in a hurry either. Time flies...

I'm a Nov. 2007 order as well, and I'm leaving this Monday to go to Uganda for a month...so I called Steve the other day to check in on my hat's status as I have dreamed about taking this timeless fedora with me to Africa. He said that he received over 500 orders during that month alone, and he was almost done with the Nov. '07 orders. He also had to dip into Dec. '07 and Jan. '08 orders to fill up some of less common size blocks. He assured me that mine was not far off! 2 and a half years and counting! It gets more exciting everyday!!!
-Z

That is a good sign I know he had a ton of orders in Nov. & Dec. 2007. For one guy working on this job that is a feat, I know there is not many orders after this time as I remember there was a price change sometime around Dec. 2007 Hence probably why all the orders flying in at that time. Thanks for the update nicetrylaoche.

IndianaChris

Awhile ago I read Steve mention that by years end he would be all caught up with his orders( if his count is correct)

I orederd my Crystal Skull hat on April 16th. I am hoping that it is here on June 16th exactly. It would be a heck of a birthday present!!!

Just curious about the magical Nov 07 orders, and see that others here are still waiting for theirs. My order invoice reads November 3, 2007, and last I heard from Steve was March 3rd 2010 saying that he was still on Nov orders. I'll keep checking in from time to time to see what progress is being made, I don't like bothering him much...takes time away from hat making.
