Hi Team,
this is my first post so wanted to say "hello" and "sorry" if there was similar note in the past.
The reason I'm reaching out to you Guys is to ask for some advice so here's the deal:
- I have this sort of dream come true meaning to owe Terminator's leather jacket from the first movie.
I was able to trace it and learn that it was created by Company called Bates Leather - seems like a classy place with history yet also rather small target - custom made request - that kind of stuff.
And I guess that's about it in terms of good news.
Now the bad side:
- as mentioned above it seems that they are only made for request and whilst it is possible to order as per the measures (btw I never seen so detailed request form...) yet I don't feel too comfortable in buying rather expensive stuff sort of blind folded - in ideal scenario I would rather ask Bates Company to measure me live but the "tiny" issue is that I live in Poland and not planning to visit West Coast anytime soon.
-------------
I have this thing in mind - I will be traveling to East Coast (Chicago-Washington-NY) in the Fall this year so I'm wondering:
- do you have any thoughts whether this jacket might be somewhat available somewhere there perhaps ? Maybe some specific leather jacket's store that are worth checking with ? I would even consider buying second handed if any of you would be considering to part with his jacket
I will appreciate any assistance big time
Thanks a ton and best !
