What have you ordered from Lawless?

Yes, and also for girls:

only thing I worry about buying them is whether they'd fit through my button-gate era Gustin workshirt button-holes.

It is important to post pics of all fitting here. the higher the resolution the better. Multiple angels (back is not bad) is supported.

Has anyone who ordered in September or early October received their items or heard any progress? I am quite certain Lawless is busy busy. Can't check my status because of the new site and the accounts not migrating over.

OK so from what you understand, the KS orders are not done yet?

We are actually doing exceptionally well with getting orders out.  I have been manning the info@lawless email and can see many peoples emails getting kicked back which means they gave us wrong info.  We also have many people who have not responded to the emails.  From what I last heard we are 30 orders away and that was over a week ago so it might have changed.  We finish 30 to 40 orders a day so that's nothing.  I can say this confidently that getting orders out is NOT an issue.  We are working on a few things to even make that number better.  Figure this, if we get 30 orders out a day and we have 1100 people ahead of you if you placed an order today, that would mean we would get you your item in roughly 37 days.  Of course we have days where we get 40 out depending on the size of the orders so realistically we can do it in 31.  We tell everyone 6 to 8 for any hold ups for whatever reason like needing more fabric which can add a few weeks sometimes.  I promise you guys I am really seeing Lawless step up big. We will be implementing a few new things while I am in AZ that will give a bit of a boost to production so the plan is even better times.  I have also figured out that when we change one of the items listed to just about being full custom, that will add time to your order.  The reason why that slows it down is because now we need a pattern cut which is done by specific pattern people.  Those same pattern cutters are busy cutting patterns that were already measured which is how they got the size charts.  So when they have to create a new pattern that takes a lot of time to measure and cut & then cut into actual denim fabric pieces.   This is by no means a bad thing but just an explanation on how the factory runs.  I'll see this first hand next week but thats the gist of it.

Dont forget many people have ordered more than 1 item with many having ordered 5 to 10 items.  An order like that will naturally add time to that order and every order after it so 6 to 8 weeks

the Drab Arlington looks like a great idea similar to what I did with my chinos. As a matter of taste I'd probably go blue buttons and then regret not getting white (looks great on the recent green Taylor Stitch camping shirt). The tonal thread will offer it a much more timeless look, but could also make it look like any other shirt. I would consider the work-shirt style (omaha? the one with the gussets and run-off), though, so you can show off that selvedge.

The copper with indigo isn't my kind of look, but if you like it, those look to be great choices, I like the tigers eye buttons.

I was never able to pull the trigger on the camel pendleton, kept vacillating between what you've done, and what you want to do. I think that's a good choice with the khaki thread, since I think it might be an optical illusion with all the visible thread and the checker pattern. If the blue buttons Roman used on the green shirt sample are available, I'd go with those, though.

Marc , I did the pendleton camel too, but in the Omaha...I requested the blue thread, and went with the white metal buttons... I think that this fabric sewn in blue will be sweet. would have gone blue on the buttons, but didn't think it was an option. just my 2 cents

Marc; no problem man. Here's a link to a TS shirt to give you an idea of what it will look like with tonal thread and white snaps;

just a thought: maybe would be helpful, if you could add something like "4 weeks to go for fulfillment" on your website ... however this would have to be generated automatically (otherwise you would have to hire 2 persons just doing that, which makes no sense), based on a, say weekly input (1500 orders open, 30 orders a day = 10 weeks to go) ...

personally I prefer to wait and have my order done in high quality, rather than have it fast but with poor quality (as in hiring extra unexperienced workforce) - I just want to (roughly) know what I'm up to (timewise)

Thanks for the explanation. I just checked and I have 2 different order numbers for the same order..emailed info@lawless to get confirmation/status..

I have to say that I would much rather a simple email, or even a current status on the order details would be far preferable (and, in my mind, easier to implement) to social media updates. As facebook is getting more advertisement savvy, I try to keep that sort of information out of my feed. Something you said the other day made me think a milestone type update would be best. If I have custom measurements, I should know when they've been sent to the pattern-maker and locked down, otherwise Lawless ends up doing the work twice because you guys are way too nice and I decided I need the taper to be slightly less severe than I initially thought. If I'm able to just make changes willy-nilly, you may have already put the order in to the pattern-maker and now I end up pushing myself back to the end of the line and relaying my order two weeks or more because I was being finicky.

As someone that does project management, I don't want you guys to get swallowed up in order creep.
