Bill kelsos free jacket by another maker guarantee.
"Bill Kelso Mfg WARRANT that the TYPE A-2 jackets produced are more accurate and close to the originals than those of any other manufacturer worldwide, including Japan. If a customer compares an original vs a Bill Kelso TYPE A-2 jacket of the same contract and can show evidence that Bill Kelso’s jacket is not an accurate reproduction of original, or that another maker offers a better reproduction, then Bill Kelso Mfg will accept the jacket for return and refund. Furthermore, Bill Kelso Mfg agrees to replace the jacket with one from the maker who is found to make the best reproduction. (The above excludes comparisons involving Crown zippers which are not available from Bill Kelso Mfg.)"
I doubt anyone has able been able to do this or it ever happening because I don't think BK would ever admit to an inferior jacket, it would in all likelihood have to be settled in an English court at great expense if you lost the case.
"15. English Law to apply"
What expert witnesses would have the time or inclination to attend the court case, those that might would be expecting a hefty fee and you would have to pay to get them to England and their accommodation etc.
You would already have to have the same jacket by another maker. unless somebody is willing to loan you a jacket
If you won the lottery and felt you had to prove a point it would be feasible.
You would get a refund and a jacket from the other maker for free and would only be out of pocket for the S&H.
The problem is your evidence for the court case has now been retuned to BK by the terms and conditions.
5. Replacement or Refund. Currently, we will only be able to take returns only on jackets that were made incorrectly. If you are not satisfied with our goods for reason of inaccuracy or defect in the manufacture, they can be replaced, or alternative a full money refund (less Shipping & Handling) will be made, provided that they are shipped back within 7 calendar days from the date that the customer received the goods, that they are UNWORN (except for trying on purposes of course) and in the same condition as when sent. (Exposure to cigarette smoke, perfume or any other odor will be regarded as WORN).
