Bill Kelso. Whats happening?

[Pa12]

Sounds like a company that “wants “ business. I think Platon/bk have enough orders they just don’t care. Take it or leave it attitude. That can only last so long.

Yet again proof if you want a high end A-2 from someone who isn't going to shaft you, throw your money at GW or ELC.

The fact they sent personal details willy-nilly around the internet just goes to show what a bunch of 1st rate arseholes they are.

I wouldn't trust these bastards with a 5c stamp.

Well put

Thank you gents!

Bill, hopefully the sizing will work out OK for you and you are good to go. The jacket was indeed very well made with really nice leather. As long as you you will be able to put it on, there will be no troubles.

It is only their horrendous and evil customer service. I am also not sure that exceeding the 6 month PayPal protection limit is not unintentional. Maybe it is truly the volume of their incoming orders. Good for them. Maybe not just that. Fool me once...

Anyway, all the best boys! Have some more enjoyable shopping experience Take care

Did you end up posting a fit pic of the jacket? I can’t remember anymore, but I’d be curious to see it.

Negative. Unfortunately there was not much to look at, it simply did not fit.

I know this is a bit outside of the discussion but can anyone tell me what the current “wait time” is for a BK A2??

Nowadays the wait time with me is already over 14 months….hopefully I will get it soon.
Last email I’ve got was a little over a month ago’Pete told me the jacket was in the making….. “does it really take a person more then 1 month to make an A2???? Pffff

What I don't quite understand is that some people who ordered after you have already received their jackets. Maybe there are problems with the supply of specific raw materials, but I can't really believe it.

It is strange that others who came after me received their jackets, Pete told me that he suddenly had no leather skins, a few months later he had no zippers, and months later he had received "wrong knits"... and that everything with me... I really find it all very strange and very annoying... if the communication was very good.., but even that is bad... next time my money will go to another reproduction maker
