I saw that new leather and told Greg that I guess I will be back soon to order a J100 from him.
I'm not sure about that. He also has a following of people who found out about him via Instagram or via that YouTube guy Carl Murawski. He also does collabs with other makers.You take TFL out of the equation and his wait time drops to a month.
I'm with @Marc mndt here. I really don't think we make as big of a difference for him as we think. From what I understand, he is getting a lot of orders through IG.You take TFL out of the equation and his wait time drops to a month. Greg should buy a few of you a Rolex. Maybe a week long vacation in Fiji. Something.

I asked Greg whether he has any insight on how his customers learned about him.I agree.
how many jackets will Greg produce per week? I estimate a maximum of 2-3 when things are going very well. Here from the TFL there will probably be around 10 jackets, which does not explain a 10 month waiting period.
I am on record here stating that I think the TFL effect on a maker’s bottom line isn’t as great as we may think.
I asked Greg whether he has any insight on how his customers learned about him.
The majority of his customers learned via Instagram. Then via Carl Murawski's YouTube video. From his current backlog, he believes roughly 20% are TFL members.
He also shared some insights from a couple of other makers. They get between 5% and 10% of their sales from TFL members.
I know you were just joking, but I was curious myself. Now we know

Ah..The "Temple of Jawnz" saga. That seems sooooo long ago.I wonder how many of the people who first discover him via YouTube or Instagram do a Google search before placing an order? If they did, they would land here on the many detailed reviews pretty quickly. I think TFL probably contributes to more than the 20% of orders that come directly from active members here.
Funny aside: I was also raving about Greg’s work on another menswear forum that I’ve been active on for ten years. Mostly not a big leather jacket place so not a lot of other folks showing interest in my latest obsession. But when I mentioned Greg’s current dilemma - wait lists expanding while trying to remain a one person highest quality maker, I just ran down some possibilities (raise prices, hire cutters and admins, cap orders after 12months, etc). Some wit in the group suggested he stop making jackets, continue to take orders and invest the money in a Seoul wine bar. Lol.
