      A long waiting time .. and a flood of releases within few weeks.
      Because of the limited quantities and the 'endangered status' of the most garments, you have no chance to get all your favorites. (not rudimentally)  😞

        It's a an insoluble problem I am afraid.  If we make enough for everyone, we have to guess how many to make and the only way that will work is if we make too many.  If we make too many then we get left with stock.  If we get left with stock, our cost base rises.  If our cost base rises, then we have to increase prices…..

        Believe me, my dream, my absolute dream, would be to perfectly predict demand and have everyone of our customers as happy as they could possibly be.

        Padmores Law:  Being a successful retailer is not how often you get it right it's trying to minimise the wrongs.  We all get it wrong, it's impossible not to.

          I understand that quandary … It's no criticism - only 'first-world-problem' moaning.  😉

          Blessedly, I got as yet nearly all my most wanted items .. therefore ..  🙂

            Having seen this in the flesh i can honestly say that the pics do not do it justice whatsoever. It is a beautiful jacket.

            Even my wife said (without any prompting) that the fabric would break in nicely! Normally she has not much interest in such things

                  Fortunately @Sam is getting used to Giles's delightful and quirky sense of humour…  😞

                              I'm waiting on my navy to arrive Monday. But just to throw it out there I came across this shoe for your consideration if you get the jacket. The brown might be a little off but it may work if it's your style. It's Converse Jack Purcell - Nighttime Navy / Tobacco

                              Cheers! 

                                  Arrived today, and I'm just not sure if i should size down from xxxl to xxl. Its just the arm length, I can live with it but just not sure.

                                    Yes, I think sizing down would be the right thing to do, it just looks too big.

                                      Thanks for the feedback max. I love the jacket and I was thinking the same as it was a little big. I've contacted the crew and await what they have to say. I just hope an XXL will still be around if I exchange.

                                        It looks too big. Try to size down. But congrats with this jacket. Really nice one.
