Shipping Policy
Shipping Policy
Every LMCV vest is handcrafted to order in the USA. Here’s exactly what to expect from the moment you place your order until your custom leather vest arrives at your door.
Last updated: July 2026Order Processing & Handling Time
Every LMCV vest is custom-made after your order is placed. We do not ship from existing inventory — your leather is selected and cut specifically for your build.
- Handling time: 6–8 working days from order confirmation. This is the time we need to craft and quality-check your vest before it ships
- Order processing begins: Within 24 hours of receiving your order
- Custom requirements (heavy embroidery, unusual sizing, specialty leathers): May add 2–5 business days to handling time
Shipping & Delivery Times
Once your vest is handcrafted and quality-checked (handling time: 6–8 working days), you can choose between two shipping speeds at checkout.
| Stage | Timeline |
|---|---|
| Standard Shipping | |
| Handling time (order placed → ready to ship) | 6–8 working days |
| Standard shipping (after handling) | 10–15 working days |
| Total time from order to delivery | Approximately 16–23 working days |
| Express Shipping | |
| Handling time (order placed → ready to ship) | 6–8 working days |
| Express shipping (after manufacturing) | 6–9 working days |
| Total time from order to delivery | Approximately 12–17 working days |
Delivery times are estimates and may vary based on your specific location, courier performance, customs processing (for international orders), and seasonal volume. Handling time is the same for both shipping methods — express shipping only speeds up transit after your vest leaves our workshop.

Address Accuracy
Please double-check your shipping address before placing your order. LMCV is not responsible for delays or losses caused by incorrect or incomplete addresses. If your package is returned to us due to an undeliverable address, the customer is responsible for any reshipping fees.
Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Packages
In the rare event that something goes wrong in transit:
- Lost packages: If tracking shows your package as lost, contact us within 14 days of expected delivery and we’ll work with the carrier to locate it or arrange a replacement
- Stolen packages: If tracking confirms delivery but the package is missing, please file a claim with the carrier first. We’re happy to assist with documentation
- Damaged packages: Email us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the damage and packaging — we’ll arrange a remake or repair at no cost
Returns & Exchanges (Shipping Information)
Because every LMCV vest is custom-made for the individual buyer, we follow a quality-guarantee policy rather than standard returns.
- Defective or incorrect items: We cover return shipping and arrange a free remake or repair
- Sizing issues from incorrect customer measurements: Customer is responsible for return shipping; alterations or remakes are quoted case-by-case
- Change of mind: Custom-made items are not eligible for return
Holiday & Peak Season Notice
During peak periods — including November, December, and major US holidays — handling and shipping may take 3–7 additional business days. We recommend ordering early, or choosing express shipping, for holiday delivery. Specific cutoff dates are posted on our home page each season.
