Re: Wested's HERO jacket...

I have a Wested LC Hero I’m willing to part with if anyone is interested.

Size: 44 chest, 26.5 back, sleeve 26.5
In Dark Brown Novapelle

Not sure on price. Open to offers. Only tried on. Decided it was too short for my liking.

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

I ended up purchasing a Raiders Hero. I’m very happy with the fit. It does not fit like the movie; which is fine by me. I’m very happy with the sizing and fit. Glad you got got one that fits. Which leather is it? (feel free to post a pic ) Thanks. Went with the Dark Novapelle again. Maybe I’ll try ...

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

I do. That’s an easy part to have altered, however. Probably the only part I would ever have altered.

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

My hands don’t even fit in mine. Let alone the diary. Why...anybody’s guess.

Anyone put their jacket in the dryer on tumblr no heat, just air dry?

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

I JUST received my Raiders hero from Wested moments ago with the same dimensions as the LC except I went an inch longer. What a HUGE difference in fit. I haven’t looked in the mirror enough to figure out what makes the difference in the front drape but, I can tell you it sits level on me in comparis...

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

Thanks for everyone’s input on this. It’s good for anyone looking at purchasing the Wested LC Hero jacket to understand the fit. I think for me, the fit issue comes from the collar and shoulders. I have a long neck and big shoulders. I think that contributes to the raise in front. I did order a West...

From the seem that connects the collar: front is 23, back is 26.5.

That explains the lift. Not sure if that’s a mistake or as it is intended.

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

I hear ya. I’ll take a peek at s&j. Here’s a pic unzipped — as I thought it could be a gut issue myself. I’m wondering about the chest now. I wonder if going from a 44 to a 45 could do the job. I measure 44 but, who knows. I sent some pics to Wested and they only said I could stand to go longer....

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

Thanks for the replies. I was also thinking that break in could help with the fall line. I just need to decide if I want to return it for the 50% credit toward a new one with the added 1-1/2” back (longest available). It’s a tough decision. I was also thinking about going with the Raiders instead. I...

Re: Wested LC Hero jacket!

I I just received my first Wested LC Hero jacket and it fits a little odd. I ordered 44” chest, 26.5” sleeve with 26.5” back but the front seems to rise up much higher than expected. Anyone have any thoughts? I’m thinking of reordering in the max 28” length. FYI: I’m 6’0” and 210lb Sent from my iPho...
