How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Tom71]

I don’t like to generalise but they’re mostly terrible. Good luck on Ebay too. No measurements, no description, etc.

I’ll try if I can leave negative feedback but I doubt it.

The seller got back and holy crap, I can’t believe this.

The seller adds zero info apart from size 38, label of size is cut off. I take a gamble and buy it anyway. Then the seller tells me he gets suspicious because I didn’t ask for measurements and it’s a high priced item so that is suspicious to him.

The seller then tells me about one of my positive feedback being bad. I go check and I translate from french and 10 months ago a seller gives me 5 star of 5 and puts a comment saying “Transaction validated by the site, no response so it maybe is a ghost - ghost emoji here and a wink- “

What do people need from me? I buy and pay promptly always. That comment is totally unnecessary.

Really, people can be a pain in the ass. It’s unbeliavable. I lost all interest in this jacket now.

Don´t take it personal.

Things like this happen, I always tell people that 3-5% of the population are just jerks. You pick your enviroment carefully, you may end up at the lower end of the spectrum, but you can´t avoid them altogether. It´s not your fault. It also means the vast majority of people are perfectly ok.

I wouldn't have even mention it had I not heard similar stories from one to many members of this forum who have had downright negative experience dealing with sellers from France. Makes me wonder what the deal is, as all TFL members from France are super nice and forthcoming. . .

Apparently it doesn’t really matter at all. The seller just cancelled the order with a bullshit reason in french”The buyer doesn’t seem serious”

What the hell?! I already paid. Just send the jacket and check my 100% positive feedback.

I asked but I don’t expect a response. To be honest I am a bit pissed.

Seems like a highly neurotic seller!

I was going to say that. I pictured George Constanza.

Dad used to have a business saying he'd regularly remind me of... "If it starts out bad, it usually ends bad." So I too would've lost interest in this.

When you are obsessed, you don’t do it half assed.

Getting my Phillips back from Dena. I needed additional length in the sleeves. As usual she did a spot on perfect job. Normally I wouldn’t disturb a vintage jacket this pristine, but it had to be done, and I trust her above all others.

I need some alterations done, is it possible to share this Dena person/company with me?

I seem to have moved into the Cafe Racer stage. First the Schott 141 and now this Legendary USA jacket incoming.

I love this.

I love this.

Man I forgot how great the beach cloth is!! I like this one b/c of the blazer cut. Gives it great versatility!

I love this.

Cossack collar for the win!

This Montgomery Ward Californian is on its' way. Styled and made in California by California Sportswear. This is my 3rd like this, when things are good you just have to have another. These are the good ones. This is what I collect so this humble jacket is in the Grail Class. You can't let these pass by. A few people were interested so didn't go cheap, but worth every penny. Don't worry it will clean up real nice!

IMO great price. If it were larger you would have had JMax nipping on your heels for this one.

Yes, I think it is a great price given the quality of these jackets. I'm glad you were not in the fight!!!

This appears to be the same size as the jackets I own, so I was pretty confident. I know how they fit and feel and the quality of the leather.

Do they fit larger than the measurements?

I saw this one too. Glad you got it. I took a pass on a size 40 a few weeks ago and I kind of regret it.

I thought I measured one of mine and I didn't! I thought his numbers sounded right for me so I didn't ask any questions, like how he came up with 45..after measuring mine this one may be bigger! I can't seem to get 45 on the one I'm wearing and it fits. So another surprise in the mail. These are so nice. I'll fawn over this one when it arrives, all of its' charms.

Why did you pass? wrong size?
