Hi guys,
I'm now ready to take jacket orders!
I've seen the samples of the sheepskin that the tannery have produced for me, and they're great. I'm really happy with them. So, I'll be ordering the first batch of skins, which I should receive in a few weeks.
Before I can go into production though, I need to take orders in order to pay for the materials. I will be able to go into production as soon as I take delivery of the skins and will need 5 or 6 initial orders to pay for the materials and get the ball rolling. Each jacket takes roughly eight days to make, so when I begin making the orders, I'll keep all customers updated as to where their jacket is in the queue.
When making the test jackets, I anticipated pricing the production jackets at around £795. I've had to increase the price of the jacket slightly, to £825, to cover a significant increase in the material costs since I first started making jackets. The new skins are roughly twice the cost of the ones I had from Fenland, which I think reflects a general trend in the industry. I'm sure I could get the skins for less from China to keep the jacket price down, but for me it's all about the quality and authenticity of the materials, and it's something on which I won't compromise.
The jackets will be available in standard sizes: 38 - 52.
If anyone would like to place an order, please let me know and we can discuss the details of what pattern you'd like (pre-war/1941/multipanel). Because you've shown such interest in my jackets, I'm happy to accept a deposit of 40% (PayPal preferred), with the balance paid when the jacket is ready to ship.
Cheers,
Jon
