jumpsuits

Has anyone had a jumpsuit made for them by eta supplies? They look really good quality.

ETA supplies, mmmmmmmm...

The quality of what they sell seems to be fine - I can`t comment.

However, the guy you deal with seems to me to be bad tempered and be walking around with a chip on his shoulder.

I wanted to order a jumpsuit, boots, cape, belt, wig (when I needed one til my hair grew back!!!) - anyway, the gear came to a grand total of c £2,000 / $4,000.

My wife has her own ebay shop selling about £8,000 a month, so I wanted to use ETA supplies to keep it in the community, so to speak.

I sent him a message saying would he be able to do anything about the charge amount with it being a big order. I was told, in no uncertain terms "We are not a car boot sale. The price quoted is the price you pay"

Then I ordered a wig. The wig, on the pic, did not have side burns on.

When the wig arrived it turned up with sideburns on. Agin his response was poor "Just cut them off"

As I said to him, it would be like my wife sending a `sleeveless` top to you with instructions - "first, cut off the sleeves"!!!

As I said, I can`t say much about the quality of product, but in my experience, the guy seems to be a bit of an %$£!!!

Micheal
you have mentioned your wife has an Ebay shop twice now may i ask what does your wife deal in on Ebay ? As many ETA's in here use ETA Supplies and are very happy with there service and quailty im sorry but please dont take this the wrong way but your coming across and sounding very Competitive!

My wife sells Ladies clothing, so no competition!!!

A question has been asked and I have given a true answer from my experience.

If the service had been good I would have said so.

Notice the various caveats "As I said, I can`t say much about the quality of product"

So far, with this Company, my experience has been bad.

I`m sure they must do a decent job or they would not be around!!!

Would you have prefered me to say the service was outstanding

Micheal
you say you made an order for
jumpsuit, boots, cape, belt, wig (
All this for a mere £2000 i would consider that an amazing price
and if the quailty was there then Jackpot as many ETA's spend that kind of money on just one Jumpsuit so i would say ok you got bad service but price is outstanding

Your jokin arent you Mark. You can get a jumpsuit, belt, cape, boots and wig cheaper than £2000! Dont know about the quality compared to others but its fair price. Do I sound like David Dickinson now

Yes i know lorna i got the whole set for £50 from ebay fancy dress shop
Lorna so where can you get all this lower than £2000 got the link handy so i can look at there work as B&K are the crown Jewels in Jumpsuit's and looking at the tailoring on ETA' supplies they look really authentic too so where is the others?

Hey I did not mean for any arguments or misunderstandings. Its just that I am going to order a jumpsuit and would prefer it came from England. Who else sells good quality jumpsuits in England?

Hi Keith
no arguments or misunderstandings here my friend just a friendly debate about prices and quailty as i feel strongly that you have to pay that bit extra for quailty. And to look authentic cost money in my opinion anyway so relax Keith my friend all is good here lol

By the way I am gigging at the Clacton Conservative club this saturday. Thought I would mention it as you come from clacton. Its not an Elvis tribute though.

OMG Mark, whats wrong with you tonight I am not a jumpsuit expert but know Paul has bought a few good quality jumpsuits for £150 and I bought him his white boots from the States for round £60 but Ill butt out of somthing that I obviously I know nothing about. lol

P.S Keith no worries, as Mark said we like our debaits on here. But I think Ill bow out coz I dont know what Im on about really - though I will say B&K are top knotch, Pauls suits are top quality.

If you get one from ETA Supplies why not put up a review

Keith
Thanks for the info wish i could make it Elvis or Non Elvis i would have loved to see you perform but i am booked for a Disco and Karaoke tomorrow so i wont be able to make it if you have any other bookings in Clacton Keith please let me know you can email me your dates at efe-oepfc@hotmail.co.uk good luck in Clacton My Friend

Thanks Mark. So is there anyone in England who makes good quality jumpsuits or is it just eta supplies?

Neil at Stagewear who does most of the costumes for Yorkshire TV and BBC etc do really nicely made jumpsuites for around £120 these are mainly Fringe Style Suites but he does do a great Job.

Although i must admit my B&K suites are my pride and Joy ......

With the exchange rate you can spend just over a Grand and get a decent suit from B&K

Paul.

Just to clarify.

I did not buy the jumpsuit from ETA supplies.

All I said was in my experience of dealing with that Company the serice was not as I expected when I asked the guy a few questions.

I am well aware of the price of the suits, but, to let you know, the `68 suit I got from the USA I paid less for the full suit than you would for the jacket from some of the UK suppliers - and the suit I have is lambskin. I will always shop around for the best quality at the best price.

I am buying a suit from B & K - I met Butch in Blackpool - and he seems a good guy. The quality of their gear is know to be good, and whenever I have asked him a question he has been curtious with his replies - even when saying no!!!

Hi, I use Jumpsuits Fit For A King (Rita) in USA. Rita makes lovely jumpsuits at a good honest price. If you tell her I (Darren H) recommended her to you, you may get an even better deal from her. She is very swift regarding shipping the suit once it's made. Also I have a personal friend that makes them too & he is great! Hope this helps.

sorry to but in guys. Lorna suits for £150 you say where where where??? i was thinking of getting a suit from ETA supplies myself so im gonna watch this topic with great interest. Like keith i would rather buy in this country ETA supplies is the only place i can find for the proper stuff. anything else just seems to be fancy dress rubbish and i've said before im dubious about paying customs charges from USA. I think the review of ETA supply jumpsuits is a great idea especially since i'm really after a couple of jumpsuits. Can anybody else share there experiences with ETA supplies?

U got mine Jason.

I want to point out I have not bought a jumpsuit from ETA supplies - for all I know they could be excellent suits !!!

fair enough matey just looking for info just bought a wig from there it's the long haired one so it needs to be styled and cut cause i look like neil from the young ones with on at mo . my wife and kids were in fits of laughter. Got it pretty quick though but still waiting on some concert glasses. just wanted some feedback on suits before i rush in and buy one (i only work at tesco cant aford to throw money away).
regards Jase

Hi all, just to add I have got 3 pairs of great boots from a company called, The London Boot Company , because I'm a size 12!! did take a little longer than the norm, but to me great boots!!! Its a bit tricky when it comes to suits, hope this info was ok

Hi Guys

Oh you want a decent jumpsuit for around 120 squid ? Then look no further these are made to measure from a guy who makes costumes for TV and big productions , don't be fooled by the prices these are top notch.

Stagewear Unlimited Stagewear House, Priory Road, ROTHERHAM, S63 8AE 0170989 2893

Ask for neal and tell him PaulB from york recomended you and he will look after you ....

If you look on my website you will see a black fringe and on my slide show a white fringe suit both made by neal , also if you look on my blog where me and lorney got married at graceland the black suit i'm wearing is a replica of the one Elvis wore at Sonny Wests wedding when he was best man.

Neil aslo does puffy shirts etc , Neil also did me a blank aloha suit and bought the jumpsuit kit of ebay and it looks as good as a B&K Job and they take some beating.

Hope this helps.

Paul.

hi Paul
thanks for that mate i did contact stagewear a short time back and he said he did the fringe,concho and chain suits. Im still in two minds on whether to go for these or to spend a bit more and go for the 72 onwards look i.e red lion,burning love or nail suit. someones just put me in contact with a woman in coventry that sais she specialises in ETA suits. Its actually a fancydress shop so i don't know but she sais shes made costumes for proper ETAs before. she only works there on thursdays as she has a few shops.so i'm gonna see what shes all about. If no joy i might give stagewear a go or eta supplies. Coventry would be good for me, not very far away. regards jase

that is the secret Paul , you can now buy some excellent jumposuit kits from jumpsuit supply's which have the kit for all the studding and a pattern for your jumpsuit , this can work out at a fraction of the price of any of the above mentioned company's although you do have to find someone who can do the work for you , that is if your like me and are completely rubbish at needle work but i have just had a Burning love suit made and the price of materials came to under £100 and it looks as good as any of the so called top branded named suits so you dont have to spend mega bucks to look good

Hi EddieP

Sorry for the Delay in reply , Had a really Migraine yesterday and its only now that the head is clearing lol.

But yes your right jumpsuit supplies do some awsome kits. Get a blank Suit fron neal and away ya go lol....
