Good Wear - order time

[born113]

The situation has changed? Or are people still waiting for an order for more than two years?

 

[Superfluous]

Depends. If you are purchasing the jacket from the @jonesy86 Good Wear Emporium, turnaround is very quick.

 

[Monitor]

Yeah, wait time ranges from 2 weeks to 38 years. Ditto for refunds or replies. It's a very fun and entertaining experience.

Jon makes a lot of test jackets in 44 . So sometimes if it's something he was interested in doing or has already started it can be quicker. If you are not size 44 it will be longer for sure

The last jacket I got from JC was in October 2018, it was a test jacket.
If he offers me another civilian test jacket I won’t turn him down.

So all I have to do is gain 40 pounds and I will be flush with new Good Wear jackets. I'll start tonight.

It’s tough man. I mean, who knows their great-great….-great grand son’s measurements?

If you are looking for one with 24" P2P, then there's no way you will ever get one. There is this one guy that just scoops them up so fast, before the seller could even finish upload the photos.

 

[Cornelius]

And you all here complaining about Ship John, damn.

I'll take 23" or 23.5" P2P also.

Best to ask John himself. Oh wait, his reply times are 2-3 years. Never mind...

I like my Ship John jacket.

 

[Monitor]

Sending money to Ship John will at least get you a jacket.

Try doubling that, considering GW's ideal fit.

Even 14 months on his website seemed like a long time to me. And he did not answer my letters. So I just forget about him. There are other jackets in the world.

He was still quoting potential new clients 12-14 months when i had been waiting 5 years.
I am pretty sure the longest wait on recorde on TFL was close to 8 years.
GW is a deposit scam, keep your money in your pocket...

There is a used sheepskin jacket on the sale page now. Very tempted.

 

[jonesy86]

Don't know if this one sold, but it looks sweet!

The G-1 looks amazing for an original vintage, for those into the military jackets. A bit too warm for my climate.

I wonder if wait time depends on the model one order, if he would be quicker when you order an A-2 cos it is very likely that the patterns for all sizes have been drawn up over the years.

I left a deposit in April this year for a RW in Shinki Russet. I just wish there was a live table so that you could check in and see where in the line you are. Anyway I figured I’d throw down a deposit and wait it out. I just hope I have the funds available when my time comes.
I would like to think he would contact people in the order they made the deposit and offers them a choice to make a jacket out of whatever leather he has in stock at the time or to continue waiting for what they requested. If he was to offer me a different leather today rather than wait for God knows how long for the russet Shinki which was requested I would probably take it. I think it’s unlikely anyone would want the exact same jacket they ordered 2/3/4 years later.

Anyway if anyones interested I am selling this nice Perry 46 fits more like a 44/45
