The worst experience.
Update to bad experience: This freaking jacket was delivered Feb 18, 2020 after 5 months. After writing the review below, I was contacted by Fred on Christmas Eve, another service rep, who was able to refund me the money and offered to get the jacket out to me ASAP for free. While this was at first a nice gesture, the same issues with communication, production, and shipping existed. After being told that I would receive the jacket at no charge, I waited a month without hearing anything, I followed up and Fred told me they had an issue with the custom image and would reprint. Once the jacket did arrive it was the wrong denim style and color, I was told that they had issues with their denim supplier and offered me a leather jacket instead for free. I turned that offer down not hesitating, as I don’t want to project manage another poorly made headache. Avoid or move forward with the knowledge that it’s like going to the DMV, painful, time consuming, and with a less than satisfying outcome. Previous Review from Dec: This is probably the worst experience I have ever had with customer service and timelines. I began my order with Shawn in October for a custom denim jacket as a gift. It is now the end of December and I still haven’t seen any proofs of the jacket, and when I said I’d like to cancel my order for a refund, I was told that that was not possible and my order would now arrive in the beginning of January (although on Dec 24, I highly doubt that as I haven’t been sent tracking or seen proof of completion). I’ve had to email consistently for updates, responses, etc to get any information and move the order forward. For a max 6-8 week process, communication has been terrible, there’s no way to contact them directly and responses come in one sentence at a time spaced by days or weeks. Getting clarity on the order after payment is like pulling teeth and if not for some other positive reviews I would think this entire company is a scam although I’m still not sure. There are much better options out there for custom jacket makers that can do a fabulous job in leather, I’d recommend to check out Schott, Lewis Leather, Straight to Hell, or Leather Cult. I hadn’t ordered a denim jacket before which is why I tried Jacket Maker but I’ve now been told after this terrible experience that Method of Denim is a good option. Do yourself a favor unless you want to wait forever and avoid this business.
