It took about 2 weeks for a shipment to Tokyo.. Perhaps 2-3 weeks would be average? If you're in the UK it'll be a fair bit quicker I'd guess.. For an off the rack anyway... Custom makes things a little harder to judge..

Probably add a week on or thereabouts... Depending on the amount of changes and what you requested.. A month would be pushing it, but I'd say within a month would be fair.. In my experience..

I had a custom washed goat ROLA take almost two months. It also depends if Wested is working with a film order. Luckily you're in the UK, your jacket shouldn't take long to ship to you. Hopefully your jacket is being made right now. Good luck!

I phoned through my order for a custom and it arrived about 10 days later. This was just a couple of weeks ago.

Whenever I've ordered; They take 2 weeks to make the jacket and then shipping duration depends on where it's going..

7 to 10 working days is what Peter told me,and I got my custom TOD with in a week \:D/ .

Things are a LOT quicker at Wested now as they have taken on more machinists.
They have stopped overseas manufacturing of the off the rack jackets and needed more staff. :tup:

They don't send emails when it ships...It'll just arrive sometime after you get the "Status update"...

See I ordered mine on 4/14 and on 4/15 received an email stating that it is processing, but nothing since. Should I be worried?

I ordered my custom ROLA jacket January 3rd and received my jacket on the 14th. To be honest I didn't expect it that soon :)
