I appreciate the update Raider. It sheds a new light on things. It explains all the emails I've been getting. Guess I just haven't been given the full story.

any news on the arrival of Goat??

Last mail I got from Gemma said they had an approx date in about 14 days from the 22nd.

lets keep our fingers crossed ;-)

Well Peter told me 10 days from 22/01/09. I REALLY hope it comes in soon AND is of good quality.

yeah, I've been waitin a while on this jacket. Atleast they're just not accepting any old hide that comes in, I'm happy to wait that little bit longer if it means the jacket is better for it.

Update

Well despite what Peter was told, no goat was sent by plane He has now been told that it WILL be arriving either 09/02/09 or 10/02/09. He will then have enough for all our jackets!

Peter has been very helpfull and appears to be totally stuck between what he is told, and the actual reality of what happens.

I just got off the phone with Gemma and she said that they WILL be having a healthy arrival of goat this Wednesday, February 11th.


I wouldn't want to be Peter right now. The backlog must keep him up nights, knowing the enormity of work that's heading his way, just to catch up with all the orders.

He's sitting on a lot of our money, that he's got to "earn".

I just hope that in the rush to get the backlog out the craftsman ship dosnt suffer.

I just posted a similar comment on another thread.

That's definitely on my mind as well.

Washed goat has been in for a while at Wested, so hopefully those who have ordered jackets in that hide should have them soon too.

It would be a hard position to be put in as a vendor. I got sent a washed goat by mistake (I had changed my order to regular goat) but now I think it was a lucky break.

Hopefully, the hides will come in and everyone can start enjoying their jackets.

I called a week ago and spoke to Peter about the shipment then too and he DID mention they had gotten some washed goat, but that it was all spoken for and the jackets were being made for that. He's once again needing washed goat.

I would hold onto your washed goat for now. ;-)

If it weren't for the fact that I know just how rough I am with my jackets, I'd get that too. But the regular goat is FAR more durable. The washed goat is the absolute crème de la crème though. I think.

Raider Of The Lost Ark - I got a washed goat OTR last week at Wested... no bone marks or anything (checked it through while i was there)... brilliant jacket.

Was it one of the ROLA specials?

Yes... the slimmer version with no leather face plates inside.

this is what i got today...


" Your order has not been cut yet as we have been waiting on the goatskin,this has now come in today so all back log orders will now be cut, sorry for the delay.
Cheers Gemma "

TBH the first 2 washed goat i was showed did have black marks on them, but when Gemma showed me the 3rd one there was nothing on it (the one i got)... must have been lucky.

Will post the pictures when i have some time.

Mine had no marks either.

Can you imagine the fun and games if a stretched leather became available?

Might be an idea just to abandon that idea right now.

Did Hannibal Lecter get the one WITH the leather face plates ??

I ate his liver....

I'd recommend that too.Very Raiders looking. They're practically bulletproof too. They also offer a wide range of sizes.I love mine.

Absolutely. It's the toughest Indiana Jones jacket on the market, bar none.

I had a very nice surprise this morning. From time to time, I've checked with G and B on clearance items and got a goat Expedition in my size for about 1/2 off!

I can't wait to try this jacket I've heard so many good things about.

Great deal Crismans!

Well the news is they have the soft goat back in stock! Jackets ordered are now being cut. IF I ever get another it will be LC in horse, but for now I'm as happy as I could be

Since the new batch of Washed Goat & Authentic Brown Goat arrived at Wested Monday (4 days ago), has anyone gotten word that their jacket has been shipped? Or at the very least, that it has been cut?

~Jace

I was told it had already arrived when I called on the 5th? Washed goat, at any rate. My jacket was apparently being cut as we spoke. No word since then though. I was trying to cancel my order, so perhaps some creative wording was used to persuade me from taking my business elsewhere. 'Being cut' from the goat at the tannery, perhaps?
I don't expect to see it anytime soon, but there's always hope.
