This is what I did (mine was delivered at roughly 7+ months). Though I got the impression that every answer I received was written by another person every time, with a different excuse
How did you phrase your monthly emails? Just the same general check-in? Did you keep your tone positive and prevent impatience from coming through?

I guess I’m not sure how to keep checking in without sounding annoying.

I didn’t think to ask about a timeline when I ordered this one, which is my mistake.

Only other order directly from him (not thurston bros) was a reasonable timeline, though I can’t remember the specifics. That was in 2021 though.

I was quite kind and pretended to be patient!
I can speak greek so that helped being to the point without becoming annoying.
If I were you I would contact him though, spring has passed! And keep in mind that August, especially the second half, most of the Greek business are closed for summer.

Start learning Greek now and you'll as till get your jacket sooner than if you didn't.

Yes, I’ve been thinking about the August break and hoping to get the jacket before this.
I just reached out again. I have been kind and patient in my communications, and mostly in reality as well. I have other jackets and don’t mind waiting for a custom piece — though seeing others get theirs before mine when they ordered more recently feels a bit discouraging.

I know there are many variables that I might not be aware of… perhaps he didn’t have the leather I requested on hand and needed to order more; or maybe my pattern adjustments require more time… Trying to assume positive intent and give him the benefit of the doubt. No hard feelings at this point.

To add to the discussion of delivery time

I was quoted 60 days to complete after payment as well.

I initially followed up asking if additional information is needed from me for the completion, and after that, every follow up message is just enthusiasm about the jacket and asking if there's any updates. Kept the messages short and simple English.

Around May 3rd Theodoros replied that the pattern test was completed and jacket was in product. Said it would take 15-20 days, but I didn't get a final shipping email until June 3rd
