The 7% price hike isn't unreasonable, but that wait till will deter a lot of people. I'm probably one of them.
I think it'll be mostly first time custom jacket buyers that will be deterred by the wait. If you already got many, who cares about half a year wait. (I know many of you actually do. But if you really want a FL, would 6 months waiting time put you off?)The 7% price hike isn't unreasonable, but that wait till will deter a lot of people. I'm probably one of them.
I wonder which customer is more time consuming. The first time custom jacket buyer who doesn't know what he wants or how a jacket should fit, or the enthousiast who knows exactly how he wants his jackets to fit and therefore dictates every single detail.
i just send an email inquiry last night. eekkkI'm afraid no more FL jacket for me. I'm too impatient to wait if I want something right now. Lol View attachment 309887
I personally I don’t think 6 months is all that bad and considering he’s a one man show. I have a pair of boots on order that I’m 1 year in of a 2 year wait time I’m glad he’s staying busy and decided increase his prices to scale his business. It’s the right thing to do especially if he wants to keep it a business rather than a hobby. Those who see the value in him will continue purchase and those who don’t will find something cheaper. His time is valuable and should be charged accordingly

Yeah I believe last I heard it was already at the 3 year mark. It’s for sure worth it but the wait is getting long. I wonder at point makers decide to close their books due to a extremely long wait list. For me I put in my order and try think about it as little as I canI should order something from him at some point, but I think that his waiting list is already longer
Oh that’s awesome, look forward to seeing it! What were the wait times like for each of your jackets? Planning for a 3rd one??That wait time is getting longer and longer. I'm so stoked for him getting plenty of orders. I'm so excited to see what comes next for him and his business. I should be getting my 2nd FL jacket tomorrow so I'm very excited to finally wear that Frankenstein

That’s not too bad actually and congrats on the next one! Are you going straight repro or will you be adding/removing any details?I should have received it sooner (it's been w/ customs for 3 days now) but it's a holiday weekend so it got delayed a little. A good 4 months wait for this jacket. I already have a black j24 D pocket on order.

Very cool, and I agree I think does make it a cleaner jacket. Less busy overall. Look forward to seeing it!Yep, not too bad of a wait at all. I should receive the j24 quicker than the mentioned 6 month wait time since this order was from last fall. I'll keep it clean and simple, ill request for it to have no gussets/belt loops/epaulette, and it will have a different sleeve design
