Ventile SAS style smock - Group buy

[SimonM]

After recieving & reviewing my smock from Andywink, there has been some interest in a group buy.

You can see my review here:

Smocks will be £150 each plus £5 P&P.

Payment by any (legal) means, but if it is Paypal please send it as Payment Owed and you pay the fees!

Please PM me to place an order. Jackets will be made up once funds have cleared.

In your PM, can you please list:

• Your delivery address
• Height
• Chest size

Once made up, Andy will arrange delivery straight from his factory.

Simon,

Can you firm up final specs- there was a fair bit of discussion about swapping studs / pop fasteners for buttons, button hood etc.

Might be interested but not with studs.

 

[Chris the Cat]

What widu13 said,happier with buttons but may be interested anyway! Is the jacket on your review the final design?
Was thinking about Andys bushcraft smock but this may be better,does this jacket have a 7inch chest tolerance like the smock? (for wearing stuff under.)
Cheers.
Chris.

I'll ask Andy about replacing poppers with buttons. TBH though I like the poppers better - My Westwinds Ventile smock has them too!

I'll also ask about a velcro'd strap for holding the hood in place...

Thanks Simon. Wired hood as well? A button would be better than velcro tho as that irritates worse than me nit picking!

What sort of lead time should we expect?

What sort of lead time should we expect?

Mine took just under two weeks, but that included reverse engineering.

I would expect about 2 weeks depending on demand....

The thing about poppers and velcro as fastenings is that if you need something from the pocket they are quite noisy both at night or at other times when silence is important. Buttons do not have that problem although in my view are less aesthetically pleasing.

 

[SimonM]

Andy has just been on to tell me that he now has MOD buttons for these.

So the choice is yours, buttons or poppers.

Simon,

Did this ever get off the ground? Did I miss out?

Only one person ordered - they are very happy with their jacket too!

If you want one drop me or Andy a PM and I'm sure he'll do one for you...

If I had the spare coin, I'd order one in a heartbeat,
But for now, I have the monthly bills to pay with very little coming in my direction to do it with.

In all honesty, it would join the bottom of a long list of things that are all clamouring for importance rating!
