[Lord Flashheart]

... and to be fair I haven't been wearing mine this past week ...

...No, but a jacket on the hanger is worth two in the post...

Depends on what is on that hanger!

Thanks London Cabbie! But oh Blimey, if you don't have a jacket ordered in Feb yet, mine ordered in June is months away...eek...

 

[London Cabbie]

Maybe, maybe not.

Some of you are failing to note that in a way not responding to emails often actually provokes more comment and conjecture than being a slave to answering every whimsical enquiry within hours.
Anti matter marketing ploy

"Dear Platon, can you tell me what size needle your machinists use in their sewing machines as a matter of some urgency please? You see I am very worried about how much the stitch holes will show in your jackets when caught at a particular angle in a certain light" ...

 

[London Cabbie]

True...

 

[London Cabbie]

Love this jacket, first time I put it on in a bit...

 

[Dany McDonald]

That is nice! It's hard to see but there seems to be some nice grain in the leather...

Spiffing jacket. And you kept the tag. Good man.. It's not just me...

 

[Brettafett]

I still have my tags also... Not sure why?

 

[ausreenactor]

Value adding when you sell it..

 

[Dany McDonald]

We wait many moons for the jackets, it just seems wrong throwing tags/labels etc away.... lol

Agreed - and the tags are neat designs in their own right. I always mean to go back and look at them, but I don’t think I ever have.

 

[Maafly]

Looking forward to seeing my first A-2 Flight jacket tag from Platon.

 

[mulceber]

It may be a while, but it’ll be awesome. I’ve never heard a bad review.

Nope, and while the wait has been long in some instances, no one has yet to be stiffed...

I haven;t worn mine much over the last year, but still an outstanding jacket, and I hope Platon can continue after all of the supplier problems and order halt.
