Hi Mr Wax,

I will definitely send my jacket back. I've been trying to look past the errors but it just isn't right and it's bugging me too much now. Sounds like you got lucky with yours. There's one thing that really annoys me about all this: I have already demonstrated to Patterson and others how anal I am when it comes to this jacket. I certainly didn't sit back after I'd placed my order with FS. I was in constant contact with them and the guy I dealt with was more than aware that I wanted this jacket to be exactly like the original that their jacket was based on. Clearly my requests were overlooked. After the time I spent on researching and making sure I knew exactly what to ask for it just really gets to me. Here's what was wrong :

Length: 1 inch too short
Sleeves: 1.5 inches too short
Storm flap: Only 1 inch wide
Collar: FAR too pointed
Seam across top of shoulder was sewn the wrong way around
Zipper: uneven from top to bottom
Excess material where front of jacket goes under the side vent.

I hope you can see why I am annoyed. I was very specific about my order and it looks like I got an off the shelf jacket without any of my requests included.

Chris.
