Hi. I'm new to the forums. I've been reading through this thread for the last week AFTER making a purchase from celebswear for the Black Drive Jacket. I'm just posting to inform potential customers on how the ordering process went and how the final product looks. I searched all over the web to see which 'version' of the black Drive jacket i'd be getting, but I couldn't find anything specific about the product seen on celebswear (which is the Steady version, if I'm not mistaken).
The jacket that celebswear sells is the Petorucci version. It's not as nice as Steady's version, but it's far from bad. It actually looks really good, imo. Here are some pics from my phone (still a little wrinkled, just pulled it out of it's bag):
There are only two things that kind of bug me about the jacket (but not too much). One, the diamond stitch pattern isn't symmetric on the front. Two, the zipper is on the left side (when wearing it). I know it's really not that big of a deal, but I just thought it was interesting.
If I saw the jacket for the price I paid ($111.00) at a clothing store or something, I'd still buy it. Ofcourse it's not as good looking as Steady's version, but I really don't mind. The material feels nice, the collar is big and warm, and the cuffs feel very durable. I am going to see if there's anything I can do to get the scorpion dyed a little darker, but I'd still sport it the way it is in a heartbeat.
I bought size small. I'm 5'6 and 165lbs with a 38" chest. It fits like a glove. The jacket drapes a little past my belt line and the sleeves fit perfect. At first it looked a little 'puffy' and I thought I'd be swimming in it when I pulled it out of the bag. But as soon as I put it on all doubts left my mind. It's really a nice looking and fitting jacket.
Ordering was a breeze. I placed the order on 5/25, jacket shipped on 5/26 and it came in on 5/29. The jacket shipped from Pakistan and made it to Northern California pretty fast. Shipping was free as well. I was actually surprised it made it so fast.
I'm only posting this just in case people are considering buying from celebswear. Everything would have been PERFECT if only they advertised the actual product they sold. If they displayed the actual jacket that I got, I'm sure I still would have still bought it, especially for the price. But, I would have been pissed if I were expecting the Steady jacket and got the Petorucci version. Thanks to this forum, I did a little research and knew it was too good to be true to get the Steady version for the cheap price on celebswear and also softening the 'blow' when knowing what to expect in the mail.
All in all, not a bad experience but just a little disappointed they didn't sell whats on display. Hope this helps. If anyone needs any more pics just let me know. Just got back from a dinner so I'm feeling a little lazy at the moment, but I'll post more if anyone needs any more information.

Theres no way you could possibly replicate a dial without the movement or the exact measurements for the case as well as the crown... As i have been told in this process... alot of stuff you wouldnt realize that goes into the making of what we were on our wrists...

Question! I've been wearing some jeans that are "good enough" along with my ShopSteady jacket and black Madisons, and am looking to get some more accurate jeans. Without going Acne, which I understand are tricky to get ahold of, which would be more accurate looking?

There's a Vinyl signing with Nicolas Winding Refn and Cliff Martinez at Los Angeles tomorrow night. Great opportunity to ask the director a question or two about something regarding wardrobe. I'm planning to go there so if you want, feel free to post a question so I can ask for you.
