Funny, my mails where its made and whether I can come and see..silence..not a blimp!

Guys, Morten at AVI has replied me that they are working on the provenance issue and "[n]ext week [AVI] will be publishing information regarding manufactoring and CSR". I am sincerely happy that AVI listens to customer feedback!

Troll? Morten? Buellen?

Why don't you just get over yourself?.... You have absolutely no interest in owning this jacket obviously. Plenty of other threads around of more interest to you, so why rain on a decent actual contract repro which us 'lower class' members may be interested in and afford? I swear, some folks out there...... Life is too short. Congratz! You're the first person to make my 'ignore' list here .

Totally wrong ..ordered a Bronco and a G-1... just to have the legitimacy to talk here..about visiting, seeing etc...and I want to know... and if he is not keeping his promise of clarification, to me and a few others it will “rain down “ ( your words) on his EU Co.
Thx.

welcome in my little world...

Peanuts in their shells.

Who cares, they are nice jackets. I bought shorts from Next last week they were made in Pakistan.

Peanuts in their shells.

Whew!

Hey, you guys, I don't know if this is the jacket that Brettafett is reviewing, but I just bought one of those too-good-to-be-true $125 A-2s on eBay. Advertised as "superior workmanship, yadda yadda." I have no idea who made it or where it was made, but the "Item Location" is listed as Chicago. "Cowhide." "Brown." I figure for that price I can't go wrong, and if it's truly a cheapie it ought to weather up real nice. They promise delivery by 8 June. I'll have a book report for you when it gets here.

Hmm. I clicked on "Upload a Photo," but it won't let me.

Herk, check its the correct file type maybe?

I have just sent an email to the Ebay seller "londonretailer-50" (who by the way uses the exact pictures that can be found for the sellers "shacommunications" in Illinois and "worldleather" in Midland, UK) and asked for an actual picture of an XXL jacket.

Don't expect to get any reply, but if, I don't expect the pictures to look anything like the photo on the auction listing..

Well,

I got a reply from londonretailer -50, and they definitely get an "A" for effort, as they found somebody in Pakistan to make pictures of the actual jacket.
Are the jacket from the auction photo and the actual jacket identical...? Hmmm, tough call ...not! Missing the rivets for the neck hook, different leather, color, knitwear, stitching...

The auction:

The jacket in Pakistan:

Best regards,

Ties.................High Grade Artist's chalk and very old stale cheese

Poor feller who buys the auction and receives what's actually made.
