Man, I really expected a response by now. I’ll honestly just be happy if we don’t get burned at this point. Runs like this, ruin this hobby for me.

+1Jaggz, what is the latest status on the remaining jackets?
Sorry to replied your comment so late, I'm focusing on checking the jacket one by one with the tailor.+1
Life happens and runs tend to end up taking longer than planned. I get it, life issues come up. And I think for the most part people understand this and are patient. For the most part. But at what point do things go from understandably patient to "ok, this has taken long enough".
I can only speak for myself, but the longest I have waited for a custom piece was 14 months. And that was only after I had to speak up publicly about the artist that I finally started seeing results. If I hadn't who knows how long I might have been waiting. ?
I had to look when was it this jacket was paid in full and that was Nov 29th 2020., so we are NOW at the 15 month mark. And still no tracking number.
As Ive stated, Ive been on other custom runs that have started and finished within this time frame.
Others may like to argue that there are runs that take even longer. I know the Yunsil Bespin Han run originally took YEARS! (Ridiculous IMO) But we arent dealing with a full outfit run nor a full figure run. We are talking about a jacket.
And yes, I get it, the first batch was tailored wrong and that caused a huge delay in this. Which I applaud Jags and the tailor for going the extra mile in fixing those issues.
I guess Im having a hard time wrapping my head around how a tailor who supposedly has a whole team working for him has taken this long to produce the full run.
Speaking with many of collectors in the custom community these delays happen all too often. We put up a LOT of money and all in good faith and its plagued with constant overly long wait times.
I applaud Andy for his excellence in this regard with constant updates on his projects and runs. Posting every day or at least weekly updates with pictures on his Facebook and Instagram. At least with that, if there is an unforeseen delay you at least have this feeling things are actually moving.

Regarding your comments on how this run got delayed for so long, it's because of many reasons.. and yeah you already know the bad quality from the early batch 1, and it got us set way back because the tailor create everything again from scratch.
I know you kept saying it's only a jacket, but it's not tho. It's a 1/6 leather jacket that being weathered and hand stich one by one. I think you will never know how is the quality will be differ compared to the other works until you have it on your hands.
Again it's not only a jacket, to compared this intense real leather work to a clothing set run it's beyond my understanding.
I won't explain anymore on the works, but I will focus on delivering this jacket as soon as possible, as you seen here.. I'm not gone, the tailor certainly work his ass off everyday, and again I can only ask you to be patient just for couple more days.
And let me and the tailor make sure all your wait is worth it, by delivering a top quality products.
Thanks guys.
Taking a look at these jackets versus some pics from the previous batches...have these been weathered?I will update the tracking in upcoming days, latest by 10th.
Give me time to check one by one.
Thanks

Honestly one of my concerns too. I'm hoping it's really just the lighting.Taking a look at these jackets versus some pics from the previous batches...have these been weathered?
Kinda concerned with how shiny these are picking up in the photos versus pics like this:View attachment 442298View attachment 442299

I'm sorry again about being a dick before. All things considered, you were right.Me too.
No worries, water under the bridge.I'm sorry again about being a dick before. All things considered, you were right.
I dont believe the jackets in the photos were complete at the time the photos were taken as the side straps and buckles near the pockets were not sewn on yet. That could explain the glossy appearance as they were not weathered at that stage.Taking a look at these jackets versus some pics from the previous batches...have these been weathered?

Ok, so the last pics Jaggz shared weren't finished jackets then? I guess I was under the assumption they were pics of the finished batch 3 since he said they were shipping within days.I dont believe the jackets in the photos were complete at the time the photos were taken as the side straps and buckles near the pockets were not sewn on yet.

They couldn’t have been since none of the jackets had the side straps and buckles. A bit confusing. Perhaps jaggz can clarify.Ok, so the last pics Jaggz shared weren't finished jackets then?
