Ok, I thought it may raise the price some. Doesn't sound TOO bad though.

Thanks!

Posted: **Mon May 18, 2009 1:44 pm**

VP....look'n good buddy. congrats on that jacket and enjoy in good health. good to see that they nailed all your specs

Great jacket VP! Looks really nice!

Did you mention the nickel silver zipper in the request box or in an email? The silver looks so much nicer than the brass I received and I had asked for silver. I've been getting the run-around with Gemma about where to put it (for next time, if there is one) to ensure you get what you asked for. First she says to put in the request box. Then when I asked her, what if the request box is not enough room, she says to put it in a confirmed email. Which then I tell her I did so, so then she comes back with this.

Dear Jim,
All the request that are used are only the request that are entered on the website request box
Thanks Gemma

What does that mean? It seems she loves to confuse people.

Me like

it looks a tad to wide around the chest though. is it?

anyways. congrats!

Posted: **Mon May 18, 2009 5:13 pm**

A bit perhaps, but as I'm between sizes (43) and will usually wear it with a sweatshirt it should be OK. Better a bit loose than a bit tight. At least it doesn't have the facings and has a tapered waist.

That means if it isn't in the initial order request it may not make it to the jacket.

My requests were in the initial order request which both Peter and Gemma told me they received. She never seems to answer the question. Just like when I showed her how for the custom ROLA jacket on the site, it says silver zipper. And for the stock jacket, it says brass zipper. But she told me its the other way around.

Still a bit shiny but nicely wrinkled.

Posted: **Tue May 19, 2009 1:02 pm**

That is a FINE looking jacket, VP!!

Regards! Michaelson

talk about extreme makeover.

this looks exactly like some of the ''srhunken lamb'' parts on the original screen used jacket.

very nice!!

Posted: **Tue May 19, 2009 2:09 pm**

Yep, like a creased, wrinkled plastic garbage bag.

Posted: **Tue May 19, 2009 2:11 pm**

as soon as it flattens out more and have alittle break in time Im sure it will look very nice and SA.

Posted: **Tue May 19, 2009 3:26 pm**

My Authentic Lamb looked the same post-shower but now it looks like this (behind the new one): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/I ... G_9759.jpg

I noticed that there was some rust on the side strap buckles after waterboarding the jacket, but it came off easily with some steel wool.

It looks wrinkled, but nothing like the "shrunken lamb". I hope for VP now that it's started on the path to texture it just keeps getting better.

VP if you wear it constantly now for a while maybe the wrinkling and texture will become more permanent than your other jacket did after the shower

Posted: **Tue May 19, 2009 6:13 pm**

whatever,

for YIF I didnt say Tony's shrunken lamb. I said parts of it looks like the skin I see on the screen jacket.

not that it matters for WIW

(I just hope no one else picks up on your statement of the original screen used jacket having "Shrunken lamb" parts

)

Posted: **Tue May 19, 2009 6:22 pm**
