Long list of my buys to come

<< < (3/4) > >>

Sir Matthew:
I agree they make good armor, my breast and back came from them. They did meet my deadline, and I even had a rush order. I found them to be a pleasure to deal with and communication was excellent. I was well informed on what was going on with my armor and questions or concerns were quickly dealt with. The wait time on a standard (non rush) order is very long and I did see on their website they are not taking custom work at this time. All their armor is custom fitted to the measurements provided by the orderer, however.

When did you purchase the breast & back?  My two Illusion purchases were in 2008 (greaves) and 2010 (sabatons) and both arrived months after the original estimate.

I want to reiterate that, in my experience, Illusion does make a quality product and they do respond to emails in a few business days.

Here's a review I wrote a while back: Illusion Armoring Sabatons, a mini-review

Sir Matthew:
My Breast and Back was ordered in May with a rush delivery for July and I recieved it the end of July. It actually shipped two days after the scheduled shipping date, but that was because the scheduled shipping day was a Sat., they sent it out that Mon.

Sir James A:
I've heard Illusion has substantial wait/late times too. I've seen a few posts where things are months, and in one case, over a year, past due. I've never seen anyone complain about the quality of the work, though, and as expected, being hand-made and custom isn't the fastest turnaround time. I would go with them over the generic indian-made armor from Medieval Collectibles; it's not anything against MC, I bought my entire soft kit from them, but armor is completely different.

Sir Wolf:
i had the same issue YEARS ago though. 1 shield boss took over a year to get. it was nice but a year for a boss?
