How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

I have the smallest duffle from Sailsmith, some of the heaviest canvas I’ve seen (in all black).
In no way competition to a fancy leather office bag, but perfect for my needs.
I also just got a Billingham Hadley Digital bag for camera (obviously) but also if I don’t need quite as much room as the Sailsmith. I tried leather (Frank Clegg) but found the weight too much.
They make beautiful bags don’t they! Thank you, i’d never heard of Sailsmith before and now I have something new to covet.

How about a mens purse fannypack bag for all the stuff that doesn’t fit into jacket or pants pockets?
Usually everything fits in my jeans pockets but I use a slingbag whenever I need to carry eyewear around.

Imo, much, much better call than the A-1.

I think so too

I agree - the Hartmann looks ace!

Guys, please tell me what's wrong with my A-1?

Apparently it doesn’t really matter at all. The seller just cancelled the order with a *******t reason in french”The buyer doesn’t seem serious”

What the hell?! I already paid. Just send the jacket and check my 100% positive feedback.

I asked but I don’t expect a response. To be honest I am a bit ****ed.

There goes his perfect feedback...;). What an ******e.

Ah, French sellers.
I don’t like to generalise but they’re mostly terrible. Good luck on Ebay too. No measurements, no description, etc.
Does it go though - no sale, no feedback?
I’ll try if I can leave negative feedback but I doubt it.

The seller got back and holy ****, I can’t believe this.

The seller adds zero info apart from size 38, label of size is cut off. I take a gamble and buy it anyway. Then the seller tells me he gets suspicious because I didn’t ask for measurements and it’s a high priced item so that is suspicious to him.

The seller then tells me about one of my positive feedback being bad. I go check and I translate from french and 10 months ago a seller gives me 5 star of 5 and puts a comment saying “Transaction validated by the site, no response so it maybe is a ghost - ghost emoji here and a wink- “

What do people need from me? I buy and pay promptly always. That comment is totally unnecessary.

Really, people can be a pain in the ***. It’s unbeliavable. I lost all interest in this jacket now.

Let me know how much you paid for it. If you still want it I'll throw in an offer, see what happens.

The seller's measurements :

Don´t take it personal.

Things like this happen, I always tell people that 3-5% of the population are just jerks. You pick your enviroment carefully, you may end up at the lower end of the spectrum, but you can´t avoid them altogether. It´s not your fault. It also means the vast majority of people are perfectly ok.

I wouldn't have even mention it had I not heard similar stories from one to many members of this forum who have had downright negative experience dealing with sellers from France. Makes me wonder what the deal is, as all TFL members from France are super nice and forthcoming. . .

Seems like a highly neurotic seller!

Dad used to have a business saying he'd regularly remind me of... "If it starts out bad, it usually ends bad." So I too would've lost interest in this.
