This has to be the strangest tangent I've seen a thread take in years...
-Publically employable --> -Would buy private. Modus Tollens: Publically employable --> Would buy private.
Sorry, I know we are supposed to get on with the thread, but the logician inside of me can't let this go: you mean "transposition", not "modus tollens".
Avoid; "Dr. Who" jacket by Bad Wolf.
What didn't you like about the Dr. Who jacket?
Have to agree with you about the manners thing, that is one of the things I like most about FLounge, the fact that they are highly regarded here.On the flip side, and as a seller, I must say that I would "fire" certain customers if they became too big of a pain in the A$$! If customers will beat a manufacturer up about pricing, with constant phone calls, requesting silly additions or subtractions, and then finally decide that it was a good idea to SCREAM at said manufacturer, then I can say that it would be a NO GO. This current, "empowered" generation, could do worse than to learn a few things from the so-called, "greatest generation" about manners.
I have added to the old adage:
Those who can, DO.
Those who can't, TEACH.
Those that can't do either, become "DEALERS"
Again: My Wested Indy from a seller on COW. I LOVE THIS JACKET. It fits, it feels great and I love the look of it.
I'd have to say I concur on all counts. In 2008 I purchased a Raiders style jacket from Wested, and it immediately became my favorite leather jacket. Mine was custom made to my measurements in Novapelle; comfortable right from the start, and gets better every time I wear it. I've read some horror stories on C.O.W. about Wested's customer service, but my transaction was problem free. In all fairness to Wested, many of the "complaints" were posted by people who had submitted rather lengthy lists of "specifications" in an effort to get what they thought would be a "perfectly screen-accurate" Indy jacket, and were disappointed when some of their "requests" were not met; I simply liked the style and wanted a jacket that fit me well, and that's exactly what I got. On the other hand, some of the complaints were in regards to the quality of the workmanship on the jackets they received--loose or sloppy seamwork, linings coming apart after having worn their jackets a few times, etc.. If I wanted to nit-pick I suppose I could find something "wrong" with my jacket if I looked hard enough, but so far I'm completely satisfied.Again: My Wested Indy...I LOVE THIS JACKET. It fits, it feels great and I love the look of it...I have heard negative things about Wested's Customer service but I had zero problems.
Not ever again:
-Jackets from Mall shops. The price to what you get ratio just is not there. At all.
