New Jacket maker

Beware Sheev's Emporium! 

After 6 months of extra wait time, poor seller communication, and a hefty price tag, I finally received my jacket... and it doesn't fit. (Sleeves are way too short).

I am extremely dissatisfied with that shop.

Can you link to a large version of the image so that we can take a look, we might be able to come up with some modification suggestions if we can see more details.

Thanks. Let's see what we can come up with.

If you replace the area (red) with a new panel that is longer (green) I think this would make things work. This jacket seems to be made from black pleather which is pretty easy to source from JoAnn's or similar fabric stores and you should be able to add the panels without too much sewing.

Agreed. Probably the easiest way to make this jacket work.

That solution would definitely look the best! It's requires cutting and some uncomfortable sewing, but it would look the best.

**SHEEV'S EMPORIUM UPDATE**

So good news! As sad as it sounds, my harsh reviews were enough to get the attention of Sheev's emporium and he finally started answering my messages. 

We confirmed that the jacket I received was indeed the wrong size, and was his mistake. Upon even further investigation, he suspected that he had shipped me the wrong order altogether. He is going to ship me the correct order very soon, and I will send new photos once I get the correct jacket. (Probably in a week or two)

So! In conclusion: 

Good: Sheev's Emporium is willing to fix my order and make sure that I get the correct product that I purchased.

Bad: Shipping times and seller communication are still very poor. According to the shop, there is a large queue of orders, and each is handled in its own time and manner. He insists that he isn't ghosting anyone, even though it feels that way. 

I'll post an update hopefully soon!

But... again, I want to be as transparent as I can to save anyone from the same ordeal I just went through:

I hate to bad mouth a fellow prop maker, but if anyone orders from Sheev's Emporium you need to know what you're getting yourself into.

For me, personally, it wasn't worth the hassle.  Maybe it will work out better for you.

I have had terrible dealings with Sheev regarding my Patrol Trooper. Its almost 12 months and the only communication is from myself trying to force a reply. 

As far as I am concerned he is a scammer and I am waiting to see if I get refunded, but I won't be holding my breath.

I can check in with Gio again and see if he's made any progress on it!  

I don't have a line on the Sheev's props possibility but I can look into it.

Also, @MrPoopie made his own, so he may have some pointers to share

Bit of a necro I admit but was there any feedback from Geo / crow props about this cos I for sure would definately want one.,

 

Failing that what's the dimensions of the piping on the sleeves , if have to get one made myself need to order right size cord

 

Cheers
