OK I ordered a patchless vest in Oct as I already had one of his vests and wanted to put a different set of patches on it, well the guy sent me a vest with patches, his are not accurate and if you remove the patch you can see the holes in the wannabee leather which I question as well. Received it on 28 Dec, sent 2 emails with no response so I know the guy knew I ordered a patchless vest and sent me one with patches. Very piss poor if you ask me. I do not care how much extra it costs with the patches, I ordered one without. So as far as I am concerned the guy is a jerk for blowing me off.

That really sucks, Shell out alot of money and you have to wait extremly long, if you havent goten it back when you return to your base you should ask him for a refund and buy one from war cheif. if he is still selling them.

I ordered mine at the end of October and it still hasn't arrived, I heard nothing from him for a month then he went back on his word that in instead of the 10% off he'd pay the P&P to the UK. He hit me with this after he said it would be here in December and at the start of December is was 'ready to ship'. I had to pay an extra $20 and its coming three months since I ordered and I really hope the jacket has been worth the hastle.

I beg to differ, I bought one back in July, then in October I requested a patchless one so I can sew a more accurate version of the patch, well after two months he sends one with patches. He has yet to answer several emails, so I do nto think the guy is totally trustworthy.

The only problem with A-1 is the contact situation. I think he only checks his e-mails once a week as I only ever seem to get responses from him on a Sunday / Monday. It makes business difficult but I think he is a trustworthy guy. He's doing this all single-handedly.

yes i have NEVER EVER heard of anyone NOT getting the vest they orderd. alot of people are still getting these from him and hes a one man guy. WC just told you he only get answers somtimes. so maybe he does have a contact issue. i would just be calm about it. there are alot of A-1 vest holders here. as i said, i have never heard of anyone NOT getting the vest

nahh, dale's kool!!
he won't stick ya!!
however, he does (and i've said this before) quote "unrealistic" delivery times!!
which he really shouldn't do!
he should be more up front about how long it will take.
people will wait.

he had me waiting for 3 month's one time, for an order of 7 vest's!!
and had quoted me a delivery time of six, to seven, week's!

but whatever's wrong, he'll make right!
