B10 jacket and NAF 11680 jacket, Gizemo’s

[mulceber]

That’s outrageous, Greg - one of the worst cases of theft I’ve heard of since I joined. I hope you get your money back, or a new jacket.

That's downright wrong. Plain theft. I hope you get it sorted and soon, Greg.

That’s why I love this forum.

Man, that sucks.
I sincerely hope that they’ll give you a full refund Greg!

FFS I just received a package from Gizemo, it was a box with a hanger and an empty plastic inside. Drity thieves!!!! I'm beyond furious.

Fuck! What a world. Hopefully they sort it out for you.

If you don’t get any satisfaction,
Start blowing up the internet . File complaints against every company that had anything to do with the jacket . Do negative reviews on Yelp or any website where people go to and review complaints . This is not acceptable !!!

I hope that things will work out and that all this will soon be just a bad memory.

It was not Gizemo’s fault but the shopping service or EMS

If I had to guess, EMS. Seems a little strange to go through the trouble of sending you those photos just to send you nothing.

edit: it especially seems unlikely that it was the shipping service, since that would mean they spent a whole lot of money (the shipping fee) to mail you an empty box when they could have just pocketed that money and attempted to ghost you.

Gizemo was stalling about sending my B-10 to the purchasing agent, so I've cancelled my order and requested a refund. Greg's experience leaves me skittish, and TBH, the cost of the jacket, paying for top-tier shipping to avoid theft, and upgrading the zipper (a zipper nerd doesn't change his...spots? Stripes? Maybe it should be "talons"... ) puts the cost up in Good Wear territory. Good Wear's the better buy, by far. I'll be giving my money to John.

Good move. I didn’t realize they were that expensive.

They’re not too bad - about twice the price of a Bronson, but the other things add up. It helps that John’s B-10 repro is more reasonably-priced than either Eastman’s or even Buzz Rickson’s.

That’s a no brainer then. Little doubt johns would be as good as it gets.

Buzz was ‘assembled‘ in china , that is why I chose Gizemo. Not necessarily to pay another 300 dollars.

It is too bad things end up like this.

And if I’m being honest, Gizemo looks better than Buzz. Just wish there were a good importer here in the states, like HPA.

I guess it would make sense if you lived in that part of the world and could get reasonable shipping.
