Got my Loanstar ESB jumpsuit today, after a little bit more than a 2 month wait.
As far as the jumpsuit+service goes I gotta give it about a 7.5 out of 10.
I realize that people here have full time jobs and families and do runs at a sacrifice of their time and occasionally a gamble on funds (if funds are not immediately collected).
The flightsuit seemed like it was going to be pretty accurate, and that's what made me place the order. I previously owned a skygunbro, and it fit like a glove that could breathe. Unfortunately, I grew out of it and have passed it on to my cousin. Then someone pissed Jason off enough for him to leave, I know who was the final straw for him, and that's really lame of them, but it wasn't just one person that lead to his decision to leave.
So, I had to look elsewhere. The BobaMaker flightsuit, although i hear good things just didn't appeal to me. I didn't like the button setup or the collar, it also looked baggy in pictures I saw. I guess i wouldn't know unless i ordered one, but that's the reason I didn't order one of those.
Someone suggested LadySewForUs but she and her partner were on a break and hadn't started back up yet.
Then someone mentioned the loanstar run starting up.
I went for it.
The price is what brought the score down in my review. At the price (compared to what I had gotten from Jason previously and the price of other sellers on their suits) I was expecting perfection.
I though the suit was going to be double zippered as brought up in the thread, and it ended up not being.
The sleeves are about 6 inches too short, which otherwise wouldn't bother me because I can add material (which will get covered by gauntlets anyway) to make them longer. However, I got charged an XXL fee and will now have to alter it anyway.
The good?
It arrived.
The shin pockets seem good, and the thigh pockets supported my inserts.
The color is good and the fabric is decent as well. Feels like it will breathe.
I don't really mean to sound harsh on this but the suit is just good in my opinion, not amazing.
I understand it's hard to make a suit for someone that isn't in front of you to measure up, but I was really hoping for the money it'd be dead on.
If anyone has any additional questions or would really like me to post pics I'll see what I can do this week.
