Ship-out Schedules:
We put this on our web pages, since certain of our customers expect these items are MAGICALLY conjured to their wish and don't read our notices and expect the order to just appear at their door in a mere 2 days (and whine and cry when it doesn't). Seriously, lets be real about our expectations when we order please. There is NO WAY we can keep EVERY item, in EVERY style, in EVERY size, and EVERY color in stock for the over 800 items on this website, nor is your order the only one being made (These items are unique, hand made and in most cases NOT available anywhere else in the world. Thus there is a production waiting list for many of these items and other customers orders will proceed yours, so courtesy is EXPECTED from our customers).
We attempt to maintain a small stock of the most popular items (we only have a 4000 sq ft warehouse to supply the world out of), but stock may be out at the time of your order. Most of the time your order will ship well-ahead of schedule, but please allow for the following schedules:
Patches (Usually in stock)...........................................................................................1 week
Tailored outfits (considered made to order)..........................................Typically 4 - 12 weeks
Tailored leather outfits (strictly made to order)....................................Typically 12 - 16 weeks
Belts, Gloves, Holsters, Pouch sets etc. (Usually in stock)......................Typically 3 - 6 weeks
Shoes and Boots (Considered made to order)........................................Typically 4 - 6 weeks

All schedules based on completion of payment (including installment payment plans). The schedules posted above are generally correct, however may vary due to seasonal availability of materials, holiday or hobbiest event order overloads, etc.
Courier In-Transit Schedules:
