I ordered a belt and admin pouch from Special Operation Equipment. I had heard really great things about them and was excited to try some of their gear. They advertised 8-12 week lead times for their gear.
My order was received on 11/30/2015.
After 12 weeks I reached out to them a couple times asking for an update (I wanted the gear for some classes).
Today marks the 20th week since my order was received. I emailed them again through their website and this time attached an email to John himself. Read his response below: (sorry for the language)
