    Indiana Jones V

    Yep. TV Indy is the only way I can see this working. Who knows what Disney was thinking? Maybe it was wait until Harrison is dead then reboot with some former boy band lead and set it in the present day like Tomb Raider? Maybe they just bought it to build rides. Maybe they were speculating on it...

    Aero Black Vicenza Happy Days

    That's really nice. Too small for me....

    That's, what Barbourism should look like!

    I have a Barbour Lutz jacket - in their thickest waxed cotton. It may hold up over the years, who knows? But I am not greatly impressed by the quality. It seems no more than a decent mall jacket. The lining is thin polycotton and the 8oz waxed cotton does not appear especially robust compared to...

    Aero worth the wait? Horsehide shootout; Aero vs. Schott

    That's a really great way of putting it, dannyk.

    Aero worth the wait? Horsehide shootout; Aero vs. Schott

    Can't comment on how it feels but it looks fine - it doesn't have any of the visual signs of being too small or tight. Have you worn many leather jackets before? I ask because sometimes people react to the feel of a bike jacket because they are not used to wearing a less yielding material. I'm...

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    Nice - I would have guessed late 50's. Do you have someone to service your watches for a decent price, Mike?

    Disagree totally MM. I had no intention of influencing Shawn's actions, just reporting my experiences. But even if I did intend to influence him, so what? I think you will also note that I was surprised rather than indignant and that my tone was reasonable. I hope I have been fair and balanced.

    As I said in my early post on this, it is probably partly my fault as I looked at the photo on my mobile and did not see the zip issue. The scale of the cuffs didn't show to my eye on the photo either. It wasn't until the jacket arrived that I noticed the differences.

    Thanks Shawn. Interesting to see your operation at work. The jacket is very nice despite the issues and, as I said in my very first posts here about the mistakes, it is partly my fault. I will email you. I think it's a great thing when a company can have conversations about issues and provide...

    If it was fun for me, no problem. But this kind of work generally gives me the shits.

    Life is too short navetsea. If I had to do this I would not bother at all. I work 60 hour weeks already. I'd rather pay $1300 and get an Aero.

    I'd be very surprised if I got anything more than a moderate discount.

    Interesting. What is it about fading and wear that they appreciate so much and why?

    I did pay $350 with no guarantee I'd get the jacket I wanted. That is always the risk. I figured there might be some issues , the piping or a pocket detail, for instance, (and I was right) but not the bloody zip placement... I am partly in sympathy with Hh121 on this.

    I hear you, but I think stolen is an inappropriate word. This is, perhaps, a partial breach of contact but not a theft.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I would agree with you if the mistake was something that hadn't been flagged and discussed and agreed upon. But this mistake is not like that. It's a major mistake made about something that was specifically raised as important to the custmer and then agreed upon by the owner with a 'Do not...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I only sent him one email and all measurements were provided. And agreed upon. What is strange is that he got seven measurements spot on and screwed up two. Mysterious. The only thing I could do more than this is draw a bloody jacket and put all measurements to him in a drawing which I know...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yep, this one isn't language or confusion it is a fk up, pure and simple. I emailed Shawn about how long the zip needed to be and that it ended a certain distance in inches above the hem - a distance I specified. He answered - "Don't worry about the zip, it will be according to the photo." You...

    I reckon they compare reasonably when if comes to the pocket and piping. I don't mind the small variation there. But sure, the pocket could drop by 2 cm and be perhaps 2cm narrower. But I don't have any measurements here to go by, just eye. He did a great job with the fit and slightly narrower...

    Yes, I think you are right. I am surprised that after my buying three jackets from him he is not taking more responsibility for this and working with me. I wonder if I should contact Paypal and send him back the jacket he made. I'm not especially concerned about money - it's more about the point...
