Has anyone bought a Jaguar Racing Jacket from this website:
Want to have a customizable Jaguar F1 Racing jacket ?
This website offers lots of customization at extra cost.
It appears that the same jacket can be purchased, without the ability to customize it, at this website but much less expensive:
iOffer: Shopping Cart
Both website appear to be connected with a Chinese production facility, maybe Hong Kong.
I have only been able to find a few reviews on them and sizing seems to be an issue, with their jackets running smaller than US sizes.
(Please, I don't want to engage in a "Buy American" debate. I worked for an American shoe company in the 90s when we had to close all of our US production facilities since the American buying public wasn't willing to support the higher retail prices required to produce footwear here vs. imported shoes. And, after all, aren't we all fans of imported cars, albeit one owned by Ford for a period of time?)
I recall some excellent tailoring available when I visited Hong Kong on R&R and on business in the past and wonder if anyone has purchased a Jaguar jacket from either of these sources and can comment on them: quality of the product, time to receive it and whether the fit was good?

 

That looks awful. I wouldn't wear that if you paid me. Ugh!

You can buy the correctly styled F1 jackets from various sources already...

 

Cambo351,
Thanks for your opinion of the looks of the jacket, but I'd like to have comments about the product quality, the time it took to receive one and the accuracy of the sizes from anyone who has purchased one from either vendor.
While the iOffer jackets cannot be customized, they are available in various colors and the customized jackets from ProRacingShop can be made in virtually any color with any embroidery, including one's own logo, albeit for additional cost.

 

We drive Jaguars, I wouldn't worry too much about the "Buy American" debate with anyone on this forum....

 

I bought the jacket that I asked about in the original post.
It was well worth the cost. I had mine customized with red fabric and gold stitching and my name on the front since my XK8 is red with cashmere interior.
It is well-made and comfortable.
My only complaint is that the zipper pull is on the wearer's left-hand side versus the right hand norm. No big deal since it makes no difference after the zipper is engaged at the bottom, but worth noting.
Like anything ordered via the 'net, buy at your own risk. I used PayPal to minimize the potential for ID theft.
(Note that the first link in the OP yields a seized website notice!)

 

Yeah, well check out the first link in the OP it has been seized by warrant, so no thanks.

 

The second link is still good. The jacket looks quite nice, a bit over the top, I'd prefer it if the sleeves weren't embroidered, but seems to be good quality. Can't imagine when I'd wear it though, without feeling a bit like a poser...
