I have a question for all the happy Wested boots customers.

Does someone of you have already used IPA (Isopropyl alcohol) for cleaning the boots or removing the top layer of coating? I am asking myself if it is possible to remove the reddish look of the first generation of boots…?

I am also very happy with the Westeds in general. As I described in a German forum: I love them, but not the state of communication and lack of interest in customer feedback at Wested. That's the reason I did not went with a second, new pair of Westeds, but with an used pair of Alden 405 instead…

Thanks for the review!

Ross Anvil did take a look at the Wested Adventurer Boots, too: https://youtu.be/G4oY_w-CpkY?si=iXcEkzaNrMLm-_gh

Best regards!

Thanks a lot, I think I will wait for the new run then. Would it be possible that you drop a line here when it becomes available?

Thanks!

Thank you! I‘ve done that and the stamp color is gone, not all of it, but the most. Sadly, some of the color of the satchel is now gone in this area, too. I will weather the bag slightly to get a more refined look. Do you know if the current run does have the same problems with the stamp color? Thin...

Guys, I need you help with the bag - it went wet in the rain yesterday and the color of the 1942 stamp on the inside went through the flap. This results in an ugly spot on the flap which just looks bad. Any ideas how a) to remove the color of the stamp or b) stress the bag even more to make it look ...

That's a great advice, thank you! And England… which is very interesting because of no custom fees (till the end of the year ). Will check it out!

Just a quick question: The bag strap from Magnoli – brown with buckle is accurate for Raiders, dark brown with roller is accurate for all other movies, right? I have a brown strap made my Wested – but it seems not the strongest in the world, I already have a few cracks in the "top coat“ of the ...

OK, Magnoli now, WPG next year… you can never have enough bags, isn't it?

@Indy Magnoli: I think I will! I am very interested to get known if my huge iPhone Xs Max will fit your pocket. Indy meets Technology!

I have to send an email because I have to pay with PayPal, please just give me a few days. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, this looks good - I just don't had luck, but that's okay for me, I don't blame them… I saved a lot during the Black Friday sale and with the Super Combo, so I will just use the old bag as a display piece for my shelf, stuffed with foam or something. The leather strap was included with the bag,...

Oh, okay, so we have WPG and Magnoli… I should check out the shipping costs of both

Hello guys, a few days ago, I posted a picture of my gas mask bag which had a teared fabric right from the start… as shipping the item back to England and back to me would cost nearly the same than just purchasing a second bag in the future, I kept it - and cleaned it today (by hand, to get rid of t...

@Howard: Yes, I see now that I have to find a tailor who takes care of the last (but very important) details. I just wanted to make sure that I have chosen the right size to make all the final adjustments possible. I've learned that it is way better to have slightly to large clothes, than to small c...

Thanks a lot for the compliment! I like it very, very much and want to wear it even at night… ;) This was an adventure three months in the making and I am very happy with my decision. And: It won't be my last jacket, I want to try different skins in the future… :) (but I will not buy the used jacket...

Hi Indiana Jeff,

thanks a lot for checking out my outfit and your comments, I really appreciate that. Yes, I should have mentioned that the trousers are still unfinished…

I will add some better photos "in the wild" when the whole outfit is finished…

Best regards,

Marcel

here we go!

Hi guys, I just wanted to share some pics. What do you think, did I choose the right size? Is the length okay? I went with the 44, as this leaves me the option to wear a light sweater with it… :) I just found an offer for an used 42" OTR which looks great, too - but I think that would be too sm...

Hi Indiana Jeff, thanks a lot for the extensive reply and sorry for my late reaction! :) I have to admit that I made a real, real dumb mistake - I was lost in translation. As I am a native German speaker I just mixed up „waist“ and „hips“. OK, to be more correct: I did not think as I measured my hip...

Hi guys, my new gear arrived from Wested. I am quite happy with the material and the design of all items (went with the Super Combo, as described in my Leather jacket thread). The jacket itself fits great (Standard Raiders 44"), the front end just below my belt (measured on my regular Jeans) an...

Guys, the boots arrived! :) First of all, I am very happy with the haptics and the overall look. To be honest, after the hat, the boots are my first real kind of „Indy Gear“, so I only know them from pictures. :) Regarding the size, I am quite happy at the moment that they have sent me the 45. They ...

@Thee: Thanks a lot for your feedback! I contacted Wested after opening this topic (couldn't sleep :)) as I reviewed ALL (yes, ALL :D) my shoes for reference. The lion's share of my shoes are EU44, not EU45. So EU45 would be my first try – and as they shipped my order yesterday, I thought they did n...

Thanks a lot! So you ordered the size you always had and they were a way to small (like on or two sizes too small)?

Hey guys, I am sorry, but I have to ask something about the sizing of the Wested Boots. Can someone confirm that the boots are a smaller/tighter fit? To describe my problem: In most of my shoes I wear size EU45. There are some sportier shoes which I wear in 44, but I would say 45 will match about 70...

OK, it´s been a long time… but life is what happens while you are making plans. ;) I just wanted to share that I just pulled the trigger. This was not planned, but driven by the current Black Friday sale. :) I went a bit over the top and got the Super Combo - including the jacket in… (silence)… WASH...

Ah, pictures! :) Thanks a lot for the clarification, McFly, and no reason to apologize, Ken. It's a relief to see that the "same jacket" looks not THAT different in the same lighting conditions. ;) To be honest: I decided to go with Washed Lamb, because this is the one available as a Stand...

Washed Lamb, will it be.

Hi Ken, thanks a lot! Good to know, so I don‘t need to hurry with my order (which I try to submit for about a year now. :anxious:). Just watched Raiders and look what I‘ve found - a nice shot of the grain which almost (;)) looks a bit washed to me. :) I have to make a decision and I will. :) I will ...

Hi Ken, thanks a lot for your reply! I have to admit that I like the Washed Lamb more and more every time I look at it, but I would prefer a slightly subtle look than on your first picture. ;) You said in another thread (yes, I am reading everything at the moment ;)) that you will contact Wested on ...

Hello guys, this forum seems the right place to be. :) As this is my first post, I want to say „Hello“ to all of you. I heard of COW a few years ago, but never registered. Now I found my passion in Indy Gear and spent hours to read about leather jackets… ;) The story: I want to order a Wested jacket...
