How long should I expect to wait for my XRVM jacket. The order was placed on May 14th. That is 15 business days ago, which should be plenty of time to pick a jacket from the jacket tree, pack it, and ship it...... IMHO.

Keep waiting! Vanson products are superb quality and will last a very, very long time. However you will be waiting a long time also. Seems they can not keep up with orders for some reason. I have had the same problems in the past with them. I won't tell you how long it took for a couple of leathers to come in. I visited their factory in Fall River , Mass years ago and was taken on a private tour of the facilities and ended up buying a jacket off the rack at the end. Loved it for years and it held up very, very well in two major wrecks and a few small spills.

Well i ordered my XRCH on Dec 28th and just got last week of may and they told me 4-6 weeks

The quality is very nice so I'm happy it was done right rather than quick

Vanson makes the same jacket for themselves. They have 4 types = plain, bones, flames and stripes. I would think they would have them hanging around waiting to put the correct "patches" on them.

Just called the dealer AGAIN. Vanson told them they would get it to them when they could.

I think thats what I will tell my customers from now on.

15 business days for Vanson to get anything done!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahha!

They are by far, the worst company I have ever been forced to deal with. And forced is what it was as they are the ONLY Buell leather vendor.
They make great products and I love mine, I really do. Between me,Kandie and Bobbie we have about 3000.00 worth of their leathers.

I'm still trying to get the pants for Bobbie, I've only been at it for about 1 1/2 years now.
Women, beware, their sizing is about 5 sizes (at least) off and no 2 pairs, only one size difference is ever the same.
I have had a size that came too small, ordered the next size bigger and they were smaller than the first pair.
Finally got a pair that fit her, kind of, they were a little big. They ripped in about 3 times she wore them. Sent them back 4 months later we get the pants back, the repair was not acceptable, wait another 4 months we get a new pair, one size smaller, they are like 4 sizes smaller. So I am still having to deal with them. Maybe by next year she will have her pants?
Arrrrrrrrrrr!
I hate Vanson.

Vanson does take forever. No one should ever order anything from them with the expectation of getting it fast. High quality stuff though. I love my jacket and pants.

from what I seen from the video on vansons web site, there factory is not very large at all. its not like there is a entire room filled with people doing one task.
at some points in manufacturing it seemed to me that there was only one or two people involved

next time, scour the internet for a stocking dealer and buy from them if you can. Try Scuderia West in SF Cali.
