In June I had contacted the J kerezman company for a comission on a garment. He'd provided pictures of the uniforms he's made along with comparison pictures to show his workmanship. Which looked quite well in the pictures except for some very minor flub ups which I could've fixed if that occured on my garment. I'd contaced Joe via text chat and we'd discussed my purchase. We discusssed in detail fabric options and price, uniform peices, time from order to completion (8-12weeks) and price ($700 with shipping) I found it was reasonable considering the high grade fabrics I wanted and it'd be tailor made to fit me. (at the time, I wasn't an experianced sewer like I am now.)
I agreed to purchase the garment. It consisted of black pants, white turtle neck long sleeved shirt, tailored crimsom jacket, black leather belt with brass buckle, clasp closures for jacket and the other metealic fixtures.
Payment was sent in 2 $200 dollar and 1 $100 installments via money order which I'd kept the stubs. I choose a M. O because it was trakable.
The allotted time came and went, no uniform nor email or Text mesage to state why. Several emails were sent to Joe but no responses. I'd found later that others had suffered the same fate. I'm not rich and at that time couldn't afford that kind of loss without some form of compensation, a uniform, or cash, or even the garment in it's 'current' state of completetion. Partially made, in peices with instruction to aseemble, I'd be happy.
If I could do it all over again, I'd've kept my money and made this thing myself. It'd turned me off from internet seamstress/tailor.
