Is it still around 1-3 weeks or is it more now because of high demand (DoD coming out this summer).

How do they ship internationally? If it’s Royal Mail, might be a bit of a wait due to a “cyber incident” earlier this month.

I think it's still dhl. I'm talking about time from receiving the order to shipping it out though.

Ordered a custom standard raiders on November 18th 2022 Received it November 30th 2022.

So 2-3 weeks and you have it on your doorstep. :TOH:

And DHL Express is fast.

Thanks! I ordered mine on Jan 21 and it still hasn't shipped yet. I'll give it a few more days and then maybe email them.

I ordered a Raiders OTR a few weeks back and got it crazy fast. Ordered on a Sunday, shipped out early Monday morning, and I had it by Wednesday afternoon all the way out here in Arizona.

Mick has posted recently that all their jackets are currently essentially custom made, the volume of orders from the Indy 5 style jacket has meant they have no down time to make the OTRs. Current production time is about 28 days.

Social media, that's where everybody is these days. Facebook, Insta, Twitter.

I looked on Wested's Facebook and Twitter and couldn't find it.

There are several great Facebook groups to join where you will find many familiar old names from COW and updates from folks working at Wested, Steele & Jones, Screencapped Hats, etc - Raiders of the Lost Cosplay and The Indiana Jones Cosplay group are the two that spring to mind immediately.
