Re: Wested's Temple of Doom Jacket

I did indeed order one. It arrived a couple of days after Christmas and I'm delighted with it. When placing the order with Wested I did inquire as to whether it was possible to have the screen-accurate vents but, sadly, they told me it wasn't something they could offer. Pretty much what I expected, ...

Wested's Temple of Doom Jacket

Hi guys. Looking for a little help again, if you'd be so kind. :) Basically, I already own a shrunken lamb Raiders Hero jacket from Wested which I'm delighted with but want to keep solely for cosplaying. Subsequently, I want to get another jacket that I can use for general day to day wear and, seein...

Re: R.I.P Peter Botwright

Really sad to learn of Peter's passing. It's been a life-long ambition of mine since I first saw Raiders when I was a little boy in the '80s to have a full, screen-accurate Indy outfit and this year I've finally gone ahead and done it. Although I pieced together my gear collection from various selle...

Re: Need Help Sizing Wested Raiders 'Hero' Jacket

I was in the same situation myself just recently and, having ordered and received a shrunken lamb Hero that I'm absolutely delighted with, this is all I can add to what others have said... Firstly (obvious, I know) study the following thread carefully: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=2&t...

Re: Wested's HERO jacket...

Good question, Bobby. The other problem is that Wested has a bit of a reputation for inconsistent fitting - a 42 can fit like a 42, or a 40, or a 44. I've always been lucky with them. My Hero jacket fits pretty well, but I don't have any unusual measurements. If you live in the UK (or will be visit...

Re: Wested's HERO jacket...

Hi guys. First time post from a newbie. Great forum you have here and an excellent resource for the hobby. :) I'm looking to get myself a Hero jacket in the shrunken lambskin and, like so many others it seems, I'm currently agonising and second-guessing on the whole measurements issue. Any help you ...
