I purchased my William Jones shemale belt in December of 2007. I went to PA to have a measurement and meeting with Thomas the owner was a very pleasant experience. Wait time was a little long (3 months) but in the range of what he told me. One problem with this wait time was that due to a very stressful amount of work, I managed to gain about 15 lbs during this time. So my belt was very tight. Now, granted this wasn't their fault but something to keep in mind when ordering a custom belt with a long wait time. In other words, be sure to watch your weight closely while you wait for your belt.
Other than sizing, the fit and finish of my belt is very nice. The comfort and workmanship are very good and now that I've lost about 1/2 of the weight, it's starting to fit wll.
From a quality standpoint, I'm not a fan of their snakeeye locking system. I'm glad I got the extra numbered tag option to add a second lock or tag.
Getting hold of Thomas can be a little difficult and I understand that he's had some things that have made his response time slower than usual, so keep this in mind. So to be fair to him, I'd suggest that those doing business with him be patient, as he's actually great to deal with once you get him!!!
So I guess the question should be would I recommend William Jones to a friend? Well yes and no. Yes, if you're on the east coast and want to get your belt measured. Yes, if you are not the sort of person that can accept an estimated delivery time and not freak out when it's near the long end of the estimate. And yes, if you want a nice bet at a resonable price. On the no side, I would say if you can't answer yes to these then look into other options. Oh yea, and yes if you can have someone measure you, and just want a nice belt (and understand the disclaimers)
Anyway, I hope this helps folks and is fair both to everyone and useful. If I missed something please let me know, and I'll also post a follow up as soon as I wear my belt for longer periods of time.
