I contacted Jimmy to get fitted for a custom kangaroo suit in September 2011. It has been nothing but headaches ever since...
The first suit fit terribly.
The measurements from were interpreted incorrectly at the factory, and there is no way any human being would fit properly in what they sent. This was March 2012.
Fine, I understand… Hard to get a custom product fit overseas.
On to suit #2. It comes in May 2012.The knees are turned to the sides, but otherwise it fits pretty decent (from the waist up.) Jimmy suggests I take it to IM leathers, Jennifer Mavrinac in Hamilton. I drive there on my own time, and my own cost to get her to check it out… I honestly shouldn’t have had to do this. Jimmy’s screw-up, his responsibility. I just want a useable product.
Jenn tells me she can repair it, but it needs extensive repairs. She quotes around the $600mark. Jimmy states “I can have a new suit made for less than that overseas” and is unwilling to make it right.
The alterations and quoting from IM leathers between her and Jimmy goes on until November 2012…6 months of BS of him not willing to make it right.
At this point it’s the off season, and I’m sick of running around trying to fix a product he should have made right, not me. I understand Jennifer had to make her own measurements, so she wanted me there anyways… great, I get it. I brought Jimmy back his half disassembled suit that he was unwilling to pay for alterations on. Jenn tore down the legs to put in other leather and stretch panels, and Jimmy stiffed her on her disassembly work as well.
Fast forward to March 2013. 2 years and 6 months from my original fitting…Jimmy agrees to re-imburse me for the suit, minus the cost of the gloves I purchased. No problem… but since then I have never received anything whatsoever towards re-imbursement.
The sad part about this is that I’m not the only one.The “Knee issue” was prevalent on another few customers suits.I would like to knowhow those panned out.
I’m out $1500 bucks, and a lot of my time for something he never delivered.
