Looks nice. I've been eying up the Litchfield vest myself, just in two minds about sizing. Does anyone here have one?

 

[Lost_Doublestuffed]

He will adjust sizing for 50 euro

Here you go, I’m 6’2” 200 lbs, I requested 42.5” chest and 25.5” sleeves, fit looks good to me, maybe a little longer front and back but not much

Last two pictures show some imperfections….

@Lost_Doublestuffed
I like how the jacket fits you. It looks cool.

That stitching would make my cdo explode

I was about to comment on that. Is this done on purpose ?

 

[Lost_Doublestuffed]

I would assume not, it’s on the inside of the sleeve’s anyway…..

What is cdo?

I would contact him if I were you. I had a rather similar experience with one of the expensive, huge respected makers here and I did not contact him when I received the jacket, partially because I was caught in the hype. I have regretted it.
By the way I have seen chinese and 5* jackets getting obliterated here for smaller imperfections.

Exactly. You’re either bothered by it or not. Personally, I wouldn’t mind much, but this is clearly something one COULD take issue with.

(I think autocorrect turned “ocd” into “cod”).

 

[Tom71]

I still like it a lot.

Ocd yes. It’s an OCD joke where you put the letters in alphabetical order because …ocd

That’s peak ocd

i reached out to Greg via email and he has responded already today!

all i did was send him the pictures and asked his opinion on how to handle it.

he gave me all the options possible, send back and full refund, just credit $$ and i keep it, and send back and re-build! i have selected to send back and re-build. cant ask for much more than that!

 

[Bfd70]

Except better quality control in the first place…..

yes, but we are human, so own up to it and fix it and move on

And this is first class customer service.

I think since as has been established he is a 1 man band, he should have total oversight over quality control. It seems to me one of two things happened. Either he didn’t examine the jacket (unlikely) or he was aware of the questionable wobble and hoped you wouldn’t care. Neither version in my opinion is great. As mentioned any other maker would be taken strongly to task for what appears (and it may be a trick of the camera) to be poor stitching. The fact that he agreed to issue a refund or rebuild in my opinion is not Great customer service but just customer service. Also, now you lose several weeks of ownership waiting for a remake. I say this having been in your position with other small makers. These days I feel that too many makers are canonized because we like the idea of what they are doing regardless of what they are delivering.
Anyhow, not my horse in the race, just chatting on a rainy day.
