If you can swing it. Call Peronne directly and pay with your own credit card. Use one with points/cash back. They will ship it right to your door within 2 weeks. Then expense the company. Spirit will reimburse you in 90 days.
If you order through Spirit. The will not pay Perronne for 90 days. Perronne won't make the jacket till they get paid. That's why it takes so long.

Great place, just maybe not realistic for a Spirit jacket.

Yeah, I did mine online and took some measurements that they needed and sent it in. You had to tell them that Spirit does wings and not the velcro and give them the spacing for the holes. I really love the leather jacket they made and will be curious to compare it to the free Perrone one I will get at 72 months. Pops has the zip out liner too which is nice for those in-between trips with weather.

At 36 months they'll reimburse you the amount of the Perrone goat, its like $316. And at 72m months, a free goat!
Im guessing ill get my free goat at 72 months and sell that bad boy on ebay for $150, like I currently do with my 18 month uniform allowance.
