Does anyone know what happened to Retrofit? They are not listed on the side as a sponsor of this site anymore, I recently purchased 2 sets of pads from them and have not recieved them yet. Does anyone have any information on how to get in touch with them? They sent me an email around 2 weeks ago stating they were about ready to send my pads out and I have not heard anything else since that day, "one pair was custom order so they took longer." Any help would be appreciated.

hi im in the same boat... i would suggest patience. i had to email him alot to get a response. i have been waiting over month. this is not there only job. i was just told (past month) they will be launching there website this spring. i wish i had my pads though. i dont know if he makes them one at a time or in color bunches, but they need to be upfront with there lead time (monthes years) i feel like im blowin in the wind but the quality is first rate.

Still has a website. Still does not work just a header page.

NEVER HAS WORKED.

The website seems to be as empty as they are.

What a joke.

Ordered mine on 1-20 and received on 2-3 which was the estimated ship date on their emailed invoice. Hutch Chrome.
Manny always answered my emails and gave me an honest answer.
Great price. and They look awesome! The best I seen. On the Hutch pads the letters are hot stamped! Not screened. That is why they look so correct and why there is a long leadtime.
He is probable sending out for stamping! Exspecially since the type is very expensive.
I am just ****ed people like this Jag has to ruin it for everyone else. You can bet their prices are going to go up after they see auctions like this. These are the same pads.

I would like to take back what I said about the ebay seller. I looked a little better at my pads and my neck pad has white foam not black. So they could be different.
Everything else looks about the same.

$390 for repro pads?

That's crazy mate - are they hand made by the Queen of England or something?

ive never had a problem with retro-fit
i bought gjs pads and i just sent money for three sets of hutch pads.alfred also sent me a really nice retro-fit jersey.
ive never had a problem with e-mail one or two days at the most but he allways gets back to me.
the quality is top notch as well.

I emailed them about redline repro pads before Christmas, they responded right away - I haven't ordered yet but email communication was fine

Sweet - I'll give them a second chance.
So what about the prices?

prices are right on
55$ for a pad set i think

They should be offering Patterson (PR) padsets soon. I gave Alfred my original padset a while back. He has informed me that they are almost ready.
Fyi, I know there has been a demand for them.

ye i was told patterson pads available sometime this month

"$390 for repro pads?"

that is an original set on that auction. they are not repros.
