Tread carefully...but might be worth it.
I bought a women's bomber jacket right after Christmas. Ladies large. It showed up, from Pakistan, beautiful, but so weirdly sized as to be unwearable. (The sleeves were longer than my outstretched hands and the jacket was so long (down to my thighs), that the "waist" was way too small to fit around my average-sized hips. I had never received any emails about it and had already disputed the charge ($265). As it turns out the receipt emails went straight to junk. When I found them, I immediately engaged via email. I got someone "Dane" who was actually reasonable and generally kind to deal with. I agreed to his deal. For $99, he would send me a brand new, custom-made jacket and I get to keep the wonky one. After a handful of emails back and forth, I agreed. Went through the whole thing of measuring myself, comparing to their measurement chart, etc. Yesterday the new jacket arrived (straight from Pakistan...). And it's perfect. Gorgeous. Fits exactly right. It's sheepskin leather with the shearling on the inside and folded out on the collar. I mean it's awesome! I'll find a home for the wonky-shaped one, and try to get $99 for it. But the new one is absolutely worth the original price. It's easy to see that these are handmade...individually, and in the Middle East, likely using very inexpensive labor.
So evaluate what you're actually ordering. If a handmade version of it coming from Pakistan will do it for you...then go for it...because that's what you're getting. And it was a wonky process that took an extra month...but man! I LOVE this beautiful jacket that I (luckily?) ended up with.
