Destry, Simon says (haven't played that game since Lady Bird was taking down road signs) in an e-mail last week that my 3 sweaters are delayed due to using up all the wool on yours. So you might want check in with him again. I hope that these show up soon as winter is fading here in the deep south. It's been in the 70's this week but does cool off at night.

Simon is hilarious.

I'm sorry some of these have taken so long guys. This wasn't supposed to be how it played out. Apparently the mill is a tiny place and they just sort of do things on their own time frame.

They're well worth the wait, even if it's next fall before you get to use them.

This is exactly why I've been hesitant to move forward with ordering the patches for them. The guy did an amazing job on the prototype but it took me over six months to get it after I paid him!

You sure you are in correct thread?

David Fishley 02-16-2017 10:43 AM

Scott and all,

I am in the wrong thread. My apologies to all.

Destry L. Hoffard 02-16-2017 02:34 PM

Mr. Fishley,

You're definitely in the wrong thread, I buy local and pay more because it's the right thing to do. Everything I buy new gets checked out via google to see if there's a USA option, if not then it gets checked for options from countries that I find more palatable buy from like the UK and Canada, then Europe. I just bought new tires for my truck a few months ago and paid another $250 over the price of Mexican made rubber because that's what you should do.

Oh yeah, and the price of these sweaters was like a gift. The only thing similar to them that's made in the US isn't nearly the quality and is pushing $500. After that you move to Japan with limited sizing and they're about $350, then it's junk made in China.

If you don't like this that's fine. But let's not get too uppity about it with a bunch of guys who value quality and prefer to do business with places that have fair wages, safe labor practices, and good environmental track records.
