Ok latest update. I actually received a call today and it seems my items were inadvertingly sent to a warehouse with a Cabelas shipment. I was told my itmes would be sent out today. I started inquiring about my missing items two weeks ago and I do find it very odd that they just got back to me now. I was also told that their computers were down so they were unable to check emails.....hmmmm they did not say anything about their answering machine. I let it go at that. I am somewhat back at "square one" as I once again await delivery of items, supposedly coming via Fed-EX. Am I happy? Not really....not the best service in todays competitive market. I guess we can all draw our own conclusions from it. I will likely make a final post when I receive it and what I think of their product. I just hope hunting season isn't over by the time I do get it.

I finally contacted Visa and asked them to get involved as I never got my order. After chasing the owner around Ted Ranck and he finally returned my call two days ago saying my order was ready to be shipped. I called him back and told him Visa was involved adn my account had been recredited. He claimed Iwas never charged which was lie number four. The man is dishonest and I have nothing good to say about Sleeping Indian. I am truly glad this nightmare is over. Too bad it too two months and hunting season is almost over as I could have used the wool. King of The Mountain, her I come. (Bernie Parsons.com)

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Guess I am glad I decided to buy from Day One. Let us know how you like the KOM stuff.

I've also found that KOM runs a size small. I wear a 2X in everything else but in KOM I have to go 3X. I don't know about Sleeping Indian but I've had great service from Bernie Parsons, KOM Outfitter, out of PA who advertises in Tradtional Bowhunter magazine. Call Bernie for info. He is a straight shooter who is probably very knowledgable about Sleeping Indian products.

Update to this. After lots of research I am going to purchase the Gray Wolf. Now that the Canadian $$$ is on par with the US$, it makes this even more attractive. KOM would have been my second choice.

I bought KOM a long time ago. Good stuff. Has held up well, and my stuff (XL) runs true to size. However, if I had it to do over again, I think I might go with Gray Wolf. Autumnwood out of Pennsylvania also makes some good wool clothing. That, in my experience, does run about one size larger than tagged.

I emailed Jeff at Gray Wolf and he was very prompt in getting back to me and patient with all my questions. Very level headed guy and he treated me well. I'll give an update once I get my clothing (jacket, pullover, and pants). I am pretty excited about my purchase and the coming hunting season.

SI has always treated me right. Hopefully this was an isolated incident.
Tom, Just call in your exact sizes to Ted and he automatically figures in for layering. He knows his wool. Thats why he designed most of KOM stuff before going to SI. Good luck.

I had similiar bad experiences with SI. When I finally got the vest I ordered, I was not impressed with quality vs cost. Stupidly, I tried to use it rather than send it back. It never fit right, and ended up hanging in a closet.
This past Christmas my wife bought me a Grey Wolf vest. Unbelievable quaility. I hold Filson up a s the gold standard in wool, and this Grey wolf vest surpasses that.
