Now, now...MM is just showing compassion and concern in this thread. Do you by chance have a history in nursing, MM? Perhaps Lainz Hospital in Vienna during the 1980's?

Some new members (maybe because younger?) are far too impatient
This hobby is a waiting game, it requires patience and many years to find the rare items and in this case it didnt even exist as far as we know for the general public to purchase.
To put things into perspective I purchased mine from a member here 24th October 2014, hence it took me basically 4 years as a AJB member to find one that fitted me (and it is actually a size up but the best I can find)
As Ross says some people here have prob been hunting for the retail / non SA version of this jacket for 8 years on eBay etc
Maybe the Mouse wanted to flip it and the time frame did not suit him
25 have paid now....so slow but moving in the right direction.
So halfway there.
If anyone has any concerns or hang ups that are keeping you from placing an order, feel free to voice them, and we all will do our best to help you out.
I'm waiting to hear back from Luigi and then I will be placing my order. So I guess that makes 26. :007)
Would be good to know if the 34 (ish) who havent committed yet are still planning to or have some backed out?
Maybe Luigi could send a chaser and seek in or out notifications.
Or we just wait and see
Still deciding on sizing and will have my order sent in by tomorrow once I figure it out... Any recommendations are welcome.
I wear in TF (Sizes in EU):
48R Windsor
50R O'Connor
50R Cardigans
Based on the measurements provided, I was leaning towards the 48 in the Harrington, but some said to order your regular size, so I am not 100% certain.

I've been following this thread since day 1 because I'm interested in this project but I'm not invested in it since I'm not buying a jacket.
Having said that, some people really either need to piss, or get off the pot. There were at one point at least 60 confirmed orders and as of today there are only 26 people that have paid. ?:)
If the remaining 34 weren't serious about buying the jacket, then they should never have committed to it. But if you were, then what the hell is stopping you from placing the order?
I know there was an issue with sizing which has now been resolved but that was how long ago now?
Come on people. If you committed, then place the order already. Stop wasting other peoples time.
P.S. I really do hope this project gets finalized. I'm eager to see everyone proudly showing off their jackets. -{

I personally have no problem that 2k Euros are being blocked for a long time - but those who can'T keep their promises for whatsoever reason should contact Simon IMMEDIATELY!!
Keeping those who've paid hanging further is even worse than breaking a committment to pay!

Totally agree. I just want to know if its a go or not. Everyone who committed either pay now or put your hands up and say you are out...

You're probably just upset because you want one of these jackets but you can't afford one.
Abusing the forum to sell only and to troll - Yes!

Ok...I've sent you a PM asking you to explain why you are so negative in a thread that you have no interest in...I look forward to your response -{
PM replied to.
okay, so June....whatever.... Is that really a deal breaker?

And honestly the chase is the fun!
Maybe I'll finally bag a pair of J Crew Kentons in my size in 2020!!!

If your feet weren't so dainty.... :v
Right now I am both patient and impatient. Patient enough to wait for June, but impatient waiting for 50 so I can get charged.
So halfway there.

Agree, go 50

I agree that any who have changed their mind should let Simon know so we don't hang around hoping!
I have emailed Simon my address but have not got back a response,
I'm also ready to pay which would bump the count to 26.

We need 50 but Luigi wanted to get payment details in by the end of December. This gave us the June production date.
If we don't have some kind of deadline to get people on board this could drag on...
Have we got 50?
Yes - great.... Cant wait
No - 2 options
1. TF agree to do the reduced number
2. Project doesnt go ahead

Or option 3, we ask to extend the deadline -{
