Little bit late but here’s a picture of my Fed IV from Halloween. Starting to break in and take on some more character https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/76d6b2885f63e6b66b98f6559dc6b392.jpeg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201211/3a43e1b3e02806180f172ed3341e3da6.jpg Sent from my iPhone us...

Super old thread but I’m reviving it because I’m curious what happened with the jacket Indyrich? Did you keep it? Sell it? Send it back?

Hey all, I'm seriously looking at purchasing a Wested Hero Raiders jacket and was hoping that the Indygear gurus could provide some insight into the measurements to order. I have gone through some of the older threads and found some differing information. If there's a thread that already addresses t...

I’d pick on up in a second if they came back!

Question for those of you that have had a Fed for some time. Does the Fed felt ever soften up and become more malleable? Get the (or close to the) Raiders hat felt? If so how long did/does it take?

Thanks all! Like some have said I think the history makes it more exciting. It really was like finding an artifact. As Elsa would say I was “giddy as a schoolboy” LOL. Who knows what kind of real adventures the bag has seen? Was it collected from the field by a German soldier? Discarded by an Englis...

Here’s a quick picture I snapped before I get the “worthless without pics”. I’ll snap some more later when I’ve got a little time.

Thought I’d share this story here. I’m currently in Germany on vacation and we decided to go to the Antikmarkt in town and take a look around. We walk in and at literally the first booth there’s a bit of green canvas poking out of a crate. I pull it out and to my surprise it’s an original Mk VII gas...

As requested

Thanks davidd!

I’m pretty pleased with bash so far. I feel like it’s got a decent Raiders vibe.

Going to just start wearing it and working on the brim. Might put a little steam to the brim this evening.

So after an ordeal with the Post Office I finally got my Fed IV today. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190227/a7157ba3ea27bfd1f2c57cbcc8cc34f0.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190227/ba23c508953afa1ead814c53388250d7.jpg Got it out of the box and wore it around for a bit before putting a LCi...

My first Fed is on it’s way from The Land Down Unda! Super excited. This is my first real Indy hat. I know it’s not Penman or S&J but my history teacher budget just won’t allow for those kind of purchases. Will let y’all know when it arrives.

I absolutely love my Wested Raiders in Authentic Lamb! There are guys on here that are way more experienced and definitely helped me, so you’re in the right spot. Idk what chest you are but for your price point I would check eBay. I check pretty much everyday to see if one has been added in my chest...

Dangerfreak would you be able to post some pics of your Wested boots?

Those of you who have had a pair of these Wested boots for awhile now, could you update on how they’re holding up and aging? I’ve done some searching on here but haven’t found anything

Going to try to resurrect this thread. Does anybody have a recent (late 2018) Wested predistressed picture? Thinking about a LC in predistressed.

Thanks all. I wasn’t sure on the fit. Honestly I’m still not 100% sure on it, so I haven’t worn it. I feel as if the action pleats are poofing out, creating almost like wings. Is this something that is normal with Wested Indy jackets? Or is this a sign that my jacket is too large? Measured the jacke...

My OTR Raiders in lambskin arrived yesterday! I think the fit is pretty good and I’m loving the lambskin https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181202/eb231a11badfbc1cea0a989339b4faf8.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181202/9f1c038d2b0760c52d5d6c32a080fe58.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2018...

I think Indy would stick with the revolver, but he wouldn’t go for the 45 ACP moon clips. He’d stick with .455 Webley. Given the amount of time he spends over seas .455 Webley would be much easier for him to obtain that 45 ACP would be. Don’t get me wrong I’m a 1911 man all the way through but 45 AC...

xmasters wrote:Also interesting to compare the pocket flap style. How Wested used to do it compared to how they do them now.

I think the new pockets and flaps are a big improvement. I prefer them. Could just be me though.

Just placed my order for a OTR Raiders in Authentic Lamb! Decided since this is my first one the authentic lamb would be the way to go. Thanks to all for your help!

It is beautiful for sure.

Have you done anything to it besides wear it Whipwarrior?

Whipwarrior do you feel like the washed lamb will hold up to daily wear? That jacket is really beautiful!

Came across this post today and it’s interesting because I was just browsing the Thursday webpage today looking to get another pair of the Diplomat boots above. Discovered they have redesigned them and discontinued the Alden look alike. The new Diplomat now resembles a Thorogood moc toe or Irish set...

I’d love to see this comparison. I’m currently debating between goat or lamb myself.

This being my first, I figured standard was the way to go. Sort of want a point of reference before I start shortening or changing things, but I’m already making plans for a LC Hero. ;) I looked on the Wested webpage and the lamb touch isn’t listed under the customs. Is this something you have to sp...

Hi Metallicuda, welcome to the board. I'm not sure how useful measurements from other jackets will be, since most jackets these days aren't cut like the Raiders jacket was. It's a comfortable fit, it's just a close one generally. I would talk to the folks at Wested, since they know their sizing cha...

Hey all, I’m new to this and about to purchase my first Indy jacket and am needing some guidance. After going back and forth between the Wested OTR Raiders and LC, I’ve decided on the OTR Raiders. My first question is about the sizing. I’m stuck between 44 or 46. I’ve gone over Wested’s size chart f...

This is an old thread but I think it’s sold me on the goat. I’m about to get my first Wested jacket. Decided on the Standard OTR Raiders but have been going back and forth on whether to get goat or lamb. I like the idea of lamb distressing more quickly and having a better drape but I want it for a d...
