I am sorry guys. I wish I could tell you why I got mine so soon but I have no idea. I do not know the gentleman who put together the group buy nor did I request special treatment. It is possible that I have used up all my good luck for the year on this one jacket. Any way I wish y'all the best of luck and I know you will love them when you get them.

The problem with the Pelican order is simple. I screwed it up for everyone. So, if you want to be mad, be mad at me.
When we initially decided to do the buy on Pelican, I was afraid we wouldn't get 50 orders so I posted a thread on Rennlist in hopes of boosting the number of people for the buy (talk about under estimating...) Anyway, it took Dane several weeks to actually get the order placed with Dakota because several people were slow to get sizing to him... and many others wanted to change their original sizes. So, by the time the order was finalized, Kary had already submitted the Rennlist order and you ******* probably beat us to the punch!
I have a feeling we (Rennlist/Pelicanheads) overwhelmed Dakota Industries with these two orders. You gotta figure, the combined order must have been for over 150 or so jackets.
Sorry guys,

The old order for now OG. By the way-OT-I really liked your bike in the other post. Now that I'm in road riding country I went and ordered a Giant T-mobile clone today. The century on Saturday with 25-35 mph winds convinced me that I'd better upgrade.

Have you seen and felt the jackets yet? Are they lined at all and how thin or thick is the material (cotton?). On the dakota Industries website they only show the back of the jacket in only one of the pictures, i'm assuming all the jackets have the same "LeMans" logo?
It would be great if someone can take a pic of the jacket when they receive it, but no biggie.
Sorry for all the inquiries. Just trying to convince myself that I don't NEED this jacket.

After a long day at work, guess what arrived? My jacket! It's beautiful. The craftsmanship is far better than i expected. This jacket doesn't retail for $300+ for no reason. The cotton "true blue" jacket I got has a black lining, made of 100% nylon, the inner padding is of 100% polyester, and the outter shell is of 100% cotton. There is no lemans logo on my jacket. Also, the color is off white almost a light tan. Very nice looking jacket and comfortable to boot.
Thanks again Kary!
