Wore the jacket for a while last night just leaving and going out for a little bit, and just doing that it’s already rubbing off some of the shiny and newness. I plan to work on it a little bit over the weekend. Love the thing so far though!!

Think we’re supposed to be getting some rain here at some point this week. I will be sure to wear it when it does. Will probably spend some time on it this weekend.

Hahahaha!! Thank you for the advice. I was curious about this whole hot water treatment I’ve heard of for breaking one in. I’ve learned a lot about the rest of the Indy gear both through this site and just other research, but am new to the jacket. I paid $300 for this jacket, and so I am of course n...

Hey guys,

Just got my first Wested in the mail yesterday. It’s a Last Crusade “Standard” in lamb skin. Just curious what tips you all have for breaking it in and caring for it? Any info about it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Just checked and got an email back from the seller. Then went to the page to finally pull the trigger on it and it said “item no longer available.” Looks like someone bought it from the time he replied to me to now.

Oh wow! That’s really good to know. How much heavier is the goat compared to the lamb? I’ve read that the goat gives off a color that’s more truer to how it’s seen in the movie. I contacted the seller ask if he’d lower the price since I’m his post he says it’s a few years old. I have no idea what th...

Hi all! I’ve decided I’m finally going to be getting a Wested. Definitely going to be going with a “Authentic” one and not a custom or Hero because the specs of the size 44 are perfect for my size. Only problem I’m having is deciding between lambskin or goatskin, and whether I want the Raiders or LC...

Saw the whole thing on display at Comic Con last month. Along with the voodoo doll from TOD, as well as a few other Indy items, and many other awesome costumes and props from other movies going up for auction this year. So awesome!

Awesome looking new lid, Clipper!! Congrats!

Thanks! I will most likely contact them. Although I need it for Comic Con next week and doubt I'd get another one before then. It's not THAT big of a deal to me, but I realized it yesterday and was like "Uhhh, that doesn't seem right." Hahaha.

I received my new reproduction MK VII bag yesterday from WPG, and I noticed that the button on the side of the bag is on the wrong side. When facing it, it's on the left, when it's supposed to be on the right. Has anyone else had this problem? Even their picture on their website has it on the correc...

I can imagine so! I just don't see myself spending over $300 on a hat, even if it were custom done. Right now I have the Christy's Adventurer that adVintage used to sell, as well as the Fed IV. I've been seeing that the Everyman and Harrison from adVintage are the same factory hat. So I'm kind of to...

Check that, it's 30 euros more than the 80/20 if the head size is more than 56 cm.

Interesting information. Another interesting thing to note is that on adVintage's website, the Harrison in 100% beaver is only 10 euros more than the 80/20 blend.

Awesome looking hat! Whenever I decide to get an upgrade from my Fed IV I will most likely be going this route! How much was it including shipping and everything, if you don't mind me asking? I'm in Southern California, so idk what that might cost.

Awesome! I'll need to determine how much my hat needs it. I don't know how to put up pics on here otherwise I would lol.

My hat stretcher came in today. You're right, the shipping was VERY quick! Question though. When you put it inside the hat did you push it up higher inside of it to stretch out the top of the crown?

Awesome! Thanks a lot! There are only two left so I'd better get it while I can hahaha.

Wow! Great work Clipper! I can really tell the difference in the ribbon as well as after you've stretched the crown for the lopsided-ness. Which stretcher in particular did you get on Etsy? May do that to my Fed IV.

I will give that a try! Thank you, fellas! Much appreciated.

Such a gorgeous hat, Clipper! Looks even better now with that ribbon! I've been contemplating about putting the Raiders ribbon on my Fed IV, but have zero experience with doing that. Any tips for removing the tacks on the hat? I want to put the turn in my AdVintage Christy's Adventurer, but I can't ...

I had the same issue with my box when I got my Fed a couple months ago. I notified hatsdirect and they ended up apologizing, and offered to either send me a new hat, or refund my shipping. I chose to keep the hat, and was refunded shipping costs asap. The box was very mangled and the hat had lines o...

Been waiting on this one. Excellent looking hat!! Will most definitely be considering this for my next fedora.

Indy30, do you have a pic of the Harrison you just got from Advintage? Been thinking about getting one of those in that bash, and some pics would be greatly appreciated.

I agree, that liner is amazing. The bash looks great as is, but it took me literally weeks of changing little things here and there on my Fed IV before I got it exactly how I wanted it. You think it looks great, but then you try more changes to it here and there. It becomes addicting hahaha. The col...

MAN does that look fantastic!! Now I absolutely will be investing in one. That liner is beautiful as well. I wonder if they're using that liner in just that color? I bought a dark brown one in the Deluxe only two months ago and it has the white liner. I just won one on eBay today. Only $56 with ship...

Can't wait to see it once it comes in! My next hat is going to be another Fed IV and can't decide whether to go with Moonstone or the Carbon, so this will really help with that! Happy hatting!
