Good Wear Hercules

You are one super-lucky guy!
Congratulations on your jacket!
It's awesome.

 

Doesn't get any better than that. Congratulations!

 

That is just perfect; fit is too. Good god.

 

Boom. Perfection.

 

Very nice...and great to hear this troubles with the button hole machine are at an end!

 

Very curious about what @Carlos840 and others in the waiting list have to say about this

Fantastic jacket. Can we get more fit pics with the zipper closed? Smile! You got a great jacket

 

Jacket is stunning. Fit is perfect. Beautiful. I can't type about the button hole without laughing. I'm a simple man. Congrats on a stunning Hercules! This pattern and the Arcadia are just divine.

 

Outstanding! Congratulations!

 

The jacket looks amazing. Congratz! I guess this thread hasn't had more replies yet, because all the folk on Good Wear waiting list are busy banging their head to walls.

 

Couldn't look or fit any better.

 

Beautiful! just a stunning jacket any way you measure it!

 

I can’t talk for the others but after over 3 1/2 years I’m at the point where I want the jacket I want and probably wouldn’t “settle” for something different just because it came available.

 

I would be the same way for sure. That's a nice jacket nonetheless.

 

I've reached the point where mentions of Goodwear just make me angry, so i avoid the threads...

 

My point was that if you guys aren't getting replies to your emails and you are in the waiting list after having paid a deposit, seeing that he has time to look through emails of people who only asked for labels(Therefore no a client by any means) and offer them sample jackets would make me react like the following:

I'm not saying that you should settle with a jacket you don't want but rather that I find it so weird for him to ignore emails from people who have paid a deposit and are waiting but can find the time to go through emails and offer jackets for sale to people who aren't on your client list but only asking about labels. Surely if he has time to do that he could reply to you guys? What do I know anyway....

No offense to @cdallas since he got a great opportunity and took it but focusing on the whole situation. I just find it ridiculous.

 

Let's hope that the button hole machine doesn't die again, it would suck for GW to add another 20 years to the wait time. Or would it? Dun dun duuun!!! Either way, shame nobody ever managed to reverse engineer a button hole machine and make a new one. For like $500 or so. That's certainly help with the orders and it'd take what, only three deposits to cover for it? Damn shame. . .

The jacket is nice (reminds me a lot of that RRL). The rest of the story isn't.
