July KS order, informed in mid-Dec that my order was ready to be shipped, but that did not occur. Contacted Sal last week and I was informed that apparently my order will be shipped (hopefully part of thr batch of orders posted on his Instagram account). Ordered the dark grey denim, which is no longer available, and based on the reviews I have seen, I should be receiving a nice pair of jeans, assuming I will indeed receive my order.

I actually am not even convinced that 12-14 is even realistic given the accounts of many still waiting 15+ weeks later. I don't know where people come up with that figure. The range is from a few weeks (when they made the free pairs) to close to six months (KS ended in the beginning of August). The problem is when LD tells customers that x product will be shipping soon or in y weeks, when they have no real idea when they will ship. It's the same with Gustin, when they put out projection months or projected ship dates when they don't really have much control over that. |

Yeah, I can understand all the frustration about the delay on delivery. My expectation was low when I placed my order due to the price I paid. I also knew LD is a startup company after I read about their Kickstarter campaign and after my experience with other KS, I wasn't ignorant enough to believe the 8-12-14 weeks delivery time frame, especially after the 50% sales.
I know everyone is different and I just ordered my items with an intention to try out a new company. My closet is full of clothes and I really don't need any of the LD pieces that I ordered. My shipping confirmation came last week and I will not judge until I receive my items.

I wonder what expectations will be now. My Facebook page came up with an ad from the LD page, early this morning. Apparently, they are running another sale, 40% off. I made an order, and the code worked. So, I wasn't dreaming. Code: 40%OFF |

Pick two, but you can't have all three: good, fast, inexpensive. |

I placed my order on 14th Jan. But fruitless attempts to get hold of someone at LD. Finally created an account here to talk to Sal. But he has since gone silent. Waiting to get my orders refunded. I can't do business with a company that has no existence with CS. It's really bad. LOL!!. Nuff said. |

If I decide to place a new order, I am going to push @sal to tell me exactly the wait time. |

I just chatted with Roman and he said they are currently working on order in 400s and for mine, in 1300s I should be patient. I am.

Not sure if Sal was a part of LD when KS finished, but you could try asking why that is. |

I have a jeans order in the early-100s. I had a message that they were starting production on them in mid-December.

Guys, just because they started working on something does NOT mean it will be shipping soon. I would hope the new site orders would be updated better (anything is better than the lack of any sort of updates for the old)

Another sale. Not a chance! The conflicting info makes it seem like they're just telling people what they want to hear. My first orders in the 300s. Should be done anytime now.

I can't do business with a company that has no existence with CS. It's really bad. LOL!!. Nuff said. I think three days is a new record for giving up on an internet jawns company like this! I get it, though. Companies won't change unless you start to impact their bottom line. This method of jeans procurement is not for everyone. The reason I am so patient with these guys is that I like my kickstarters from them and all others (ciano and gustin) have disappointed me more...so far. They all make good jeans when the planets align, but right now, Lawless is the leader according to my scores ("Default? The two sweetest words in the english language!"). Also, the price is so goddamn low I can order stuff and not worry about it. Even if I don't like it...meh...like now with 40% off. Dawg, you can get the $69's for only sixty percent of that amount! $41 plus shipping. You know how much levi's cost in the store? Even at their outlet stores I bought a pair on sale for $30 (501's). I do see that someone said they are on around order 400 (in theory...earlier orders still haven't shipped). My recent order is somewhere in the 2,200's. It is going to be a while. We will see how excited I am about all of this in about three months (I am not even dreaming about 8-10 weeks). There was a lot of 10-12.5 ounce jeans in there I would like before late april/early may when it gets hot as balls here. Furthermore, I am curious to see how this works out...not that I need any more jeans. Do you ever think any of us will wake up one morning and say, "you know what? I have enough jeans." And now Japan has me with a mild gambling addiction with their "UFO Catcher" (skill crane) machines. Damnit! |

Another sale? There are not enough lulz in all the interwebs. Well, I'm back to shopping the old skool way for a while. Off the shelf, ghetto, pre-made shizzle. If my LD shirt arrives and is magic I will go back into the water, but for the time being, I'm sorta spent on this whole model. Almost posted virtually the self-same comment yesterday. I'd never used this model before Gustin. That experience wasn't entirely exemplary and I'm now on week 11 with my first Lawless order with no sign of anything being shipped on the horizon. After reading many of the posts here from people who have their LD products in hand, I'm also now going through the same fear I had with Gustin that they won't fit. Once those two pairs arrive, that'll be it for me for this type of process. Yes, it's always nice to get a 'bargain' but sometimes those things can't be simply measured in monetary terms. My denim spending for 2015 is going to be in-store, with jeans I've tried on from a large and varied range and which I know fit me live a glove. Sure, they'll cost me 2x or 3x the price of Gustin/Lawless but the more I've thought about and experienced the extended wait process, the more I'm happy to live with the extra financial requirement. |

It's really silly to me that some of you put so much faith in Lawless from the get-go, ordering 6+ items.
I understand if you saw people receiving goods (on here) and everything was perfect, but it has been far from that. I put in 1 order and at this point have no faith that it will fit despite providing measurements for my body type.
