Hey all, Looking for someone to make custom leather jerkin. Attached a "sketch" I made in Microsoft paint. Have heard lots of good things about Ravenswood, love their work. but haven't had any response from them after 2 e-mails and a phone call... Same from Pendragon costumes. I know it's "high season" here on the West coast, so hopefully the responses are en route... If anyone knows of someone who could make what's in the sketch, I would appreciate the info. Hoping to have it done by early September. Many Thanks! Attachments:

I have been a Ravenswood customer for a few years now. I love their selection, quality, and prices. I just made a large order with them a couple weeks back and have already gotten the goods. Make sure your spam filter is not catching their emails - Samantha has always responded to me within a day or two - faire season or not.

Odingaard,
Thanks for the heads-up on the splam filter issue. Been checking, but I'll check the spam folder on my G-mail.
And from your photo and signature, thanks again, to you, for your service.
Dep-U-tee out.

Dep-U-tee out. Well, I hope they get back with you quickly as not to loose your business. I have always had great dealings with them, so there has to be a reason she has not responded back. I think that the annual SCA war is going on in PA, so maybe that has something to do with it. Thank you for your thanks!

Sent a third e-mail to Ravenswood. Their garb is killer. Hopefully I'll hear back from them this week.
Bedtime now. Taser training tomorrow. Need to be rested up good before I get 'lectrocuted.

Here we are one month later. Never heard from Ravenswood, after three e-mails and a phone call... Worked out fine anyway, as I found the amazing Carol Farnes in Guerneville, CA. www.carolfarnes.com. She's only about an hour and a half from my home, and was willing to go totally custom with my design. After several e-mails and two in-person design consults at her house, we came up with a beautiful black leather jerkin with custom pigskin details, custom fitted to me. She even made a full fabric mock-up to ensure proper fit and perfect scale and symmetry of the pigskin details. Brought my wife with me for the second meeting. She ended up buying a custom suede bodice and a gorgeous leather bodicey-vest. (Very happy man here. A woman in a leather bodice in my house, who is also my wife... Good times. ) Ms. Farnes has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She attends Highland Games all over the West Coast. If you are looking for custom leather garb, she is amazing. Tell her Marco and Natasha sent you!
