Good point, BIg J. The danger for the shop will be exactly that, if people can get custom made for the same price and only a 2 month wait.
Having said that, it's only folks like us here who agonise over half an inch here and there, so the shop should get some normal, impulse buyers and...
I've had quite a few dealings with Ciano, buying I think about 4 things so far. He's a good, regular guy, but is now becoming a victim of his own success with increasing delivery times. I still have 23oz jeans on order with him.
I had the Brando jacket, the second one he ever made, but sent...
From the Selvedge board, there seems to still be a tiny, but very sporadic trickle, and that's jeans only, no shirts or jackets. But in the last couple of weeks even that seems to have dried up.
The advice now is don't kid yourself that you'll get anything and just go straight to your bank...
Ha. I'll let my wife know, as she likes that wallpaper.
As for my Irvin there, I sized up one after these wallpaper pics were taken, but I can't tell from my phone if the outside one is the bigger size or not.
The main difference is that the seam piping in the first version matched the...
Keep reading. It seems the guy was hired by RA to rebrand on the quiet. He obviously didn't do much research before leaving his old job.
Any new U.S. denim brand will be under the microscope now, with people trying to uncover RA.
Just to make sure that no one's caught out a second time, it looks like Mr No Refunds has started another company, but the sleuths on SelvedgeStyle have rumbled him.

I don't know if that means LD is dead and buried...
Good to know, Hide'n'seek. There was always some confusion over that aspect. For the departees, it all must have seemed such a good idea 3 years ago. How things change...
I'm the same height and 25.5" is the max I'd go for a short jacket like that, with anything from 24-25.5" being OK depending on the look.
I would think 26.5" and up is mid-length territory and a different look.
In my initial contact with my bank, they said I was past the 120 mark, so tough luck. I had read about the 120 days from expected delivery, so disputed it. They said to post in details and back-up, after which I got a call to say that they thought it was obviously a scam and that they'd refund...
You're lucky about the chargeback, as lots of people seem to have been rejected due to being over 120 days, which of course suits LD&Co as they simply won't refund now.
There doesn't seem to be any doubt now that the shyster crossed the line from just complete incompetence to fraudulent...
