Bill Kelso Wait Times

[Vanson4thewin]

Hi, has anyone landed a BK recently? If so I'm just wondering how long it took for your order to be fulfilled.
I am fully aware of what the website says, equally, I understand that the theory and the reality don't always align.

Thanks in advance chaps

My Peters repro (archive line) was ordered on 1/20/22 and it was shipped on 8/9/22 (6.5months).
Leathertog repro was ordered on 10/19/22, and it was shipped on 4/18/24 (18 months).

If you can find your BK jacket in stock at one of the Japanese retailers that's probably the best way.

18 months!?! Wow. This is the downside isn't it. The problem is they are really good at what they do (when they can finally get round to it).

I hope you are happy with your jackets CP and thank you for taking the time

If BK cannot give you a solid estimate it would not be a maker i’d want to deal with

has custom outerwear fad reached its saturation point?, seems like last few years we have less and less custom jackets and more and more vintage, I remember few years ago where almost every day people order aero fqhh, and then himel, and japanese makers, and then thedi, or field or even 5*
nowadays their threads are collecting dust, I wonder if custom jacket brands are alright perhaps they cater to collab project or something hopefully
