After thinking and praying this weekend I have made the hard decision to take a break from ordering letterman jackets.
The company I have purchased jackets from for over a decade has sold to another company that I have previously worked with. The quality of the jackets that came from that company was not even close to the company I worked with for years. I spoke with the new company and learned that they also do not have the design software that I have always used. It will take 3-5 business days to get a proof of what the jacket will look like. I am not comfortable with that. My customers can not come to see me multiple times to design to order a jacket and I have such a busy life it becomes impossible to do so.
I have researched other companies but none of them compare to the quailty of the jackets I used before.
With this being said, it does not mean that I am out of the jacket business forever. If I find a company, I feel makes quality jackets like I have had before, I will start ordering them again
However, if you purchase your own jacket and bring it to me I will still do all the work on it as I would have before. That way the customer knows the quality of jacket that they are bringing to me.
This decision came after lots of tears and prayer. I have absolutely loved working with all the families over the years. My heart is broken to have to make this decision. I hope this isn’t forever. I just can’t continue if I feel the quality of those jackets are not up to the standards I hold for my customers.
Again, if you have your own jacket that you can bring to me, I would be happy to help you.
