Good Wear-abouts

[Carlos840]

I've gotten a response to a question about a gw jacket i picked up used. He responded to my email within 2 hrs. That was about 2 wks ago.

It's so annoying to read things like this, when i am going on 7 months without any communication, and my last three emails have been ignored...
The double standard he applies to the way he does business is wrong. You can't keep updating your sales page, and answering the few customers you want to keep happy, and ignore all the rest!

well Carlos, to be fair, gauging by his queue and ability to shift stuff from the sales page it would appear he can do exactly that!

@ProteinNerd if I could find somebody worthy to clone my size 40 arcadia with the shinki I have left I could possibly sell you mine in the caramel naked Italian 3oz hh, which might save you a year or two in that queue!

At a certain point I think the wait and frustration would far eclipse the joy of owning one, or anything for that matter. Even after receiving it...it's something of an albatross...

Indeed. That would infuriate me as well.

I was thinking more along the lines of that guy who repros Monarchs, is it Dave Sheeley? I may be mistaken, but I think this model is a Monarch design. Perhaps @tmitchell59 can confirm whether I am getting warm here or if I'm wide of the mark. If I'm right and that bloke is the Monarch's guy, and this is a Monarch, then asking him first would seem like the best bet

I think that at this point it almost seems more reasonable to wait for someone to sell their GW jackets in the classifieds which will happen eventually, also wait for a sale on the GW page. At least for the new guys.

Dave Sheeley is your man..., but not until my jacket is finished...

Ah yes! I somehow forgot about him...

I don’t know where you find the patience guys... if someone is not answering my emails I would immediately ask for a refund and adios amigos. Plenty of fine jackets out there without having to put up with this.

Or mine!

Or mine!

I actually am on the queue as well

Completely unrelated. Just found out my neighbor (2 doors down) is a collector and he has 4-5 original hand-painted a-2s, as well as a size 50 B-15. Tour and photos to come. So excited.

Nothing new to report on my side either... last email not replied to.. "I got Ghosted"

And you are supposed to be The One!

@Boyo is around 4 years right?

Smart decision, it was actually the first thought.
Highly respect Dave's perfectionism in his works.

Wow, that would be interesting Nick!

Yeah, this past April was 4 years...Im not hurting for a jacket, and the $200 I plunked down isn't gonna make or break me, so the plan is to ride it out...

I think one of his machines ( button hole machine) has been broken for a long time and he either cant find a person to fix it or it cant be fixed... A new machine is on order apparently. All this i read on the details of a sales jacket posted recently, not from any correspondence with GW.
So I think this is holding him up from making certain jackets??

I humbly suggest your jacket should delivered at no additional charge. Those two years guys don't have squat on you.
