I think if your site says a garment is in stock it should highlight that its in stock at the supplier in sweden and not the uk so that time to delivery would be a week. Managed ok but need clarifying. Also the jacket only has 1 breast pocket not 2 as per photograph so a bit of a disappointment considering the high pricetag

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for your review regarding this aspect of our site. We truly appreciate your feedback. While we strive to keep our customers informed about delivery timescales for brands like Blaklader, we understand that improvements can always be made. Despite providing a rough expected delivery date on our checkout page, your feedback is important to us and will be taken into consideration as we continue to update our website.

As for your jacket arriving with one pocket instead of the two shown in the image, I apologise for this discrepancy. It was an oversight on our part due to a recent product design change by the manufacturer. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at sales@merlindirect.co.uk if you need assistance with exchanging your jacket or any other matter.
