This jacket was literally drenched under Niagara Falls a few years ago; took three days to completely dry out! The collar didn't change. :rolling: I think it's more in reshaping with a minor alteration. Unstitch the binding seam, tuck in the sides to achieve the correct shape, trim off a bit of exce...

Here are some pics of my Raiders custom / Hero hybrid: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52913162964_c505cb6753_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52913010186_954bc1bc3d_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52913397140_0aec6ef633_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52912432747_af...

Yes! Hi-res pics of the original (and only) trilogy jackets in all their leathery splendor!

Ok so the answer is no, they won’t change it for me. I suppose with more options available like the hero and legacy they are now inflexible to special requests as it is confusing to the factory. By the sound of things, Wested has essentially banned custom requests in the years since Peter moved on ...

From one Wested fan to another, you're very welcome!

While excavating the archives here, I discovered a post written by Peter, clarifying the origins of the long-debated Temple jacket: Post Fri Feb 07, 2003 11:58 am More facts: I did make some jackets for TOD but not many, a french company made the top ups. I did NOT make the jacket that Noel Howard h...

The S&J skin might be thicker than Wested's Legacy lamb. I pre-soaked my Temple jacket in the shower and wore the jacket until it dried, and the sleeves bunched up very much like the Mayapore village jacket. It really does look and weather like the screen-used ToD jackets! BTW, your Raiders jack...

The sleeve weathering trick is actually pretty simple: put on the jacket and scrunch up the sleeves really tight by pushing them up as far as they'll go. Then (a bit awkward) use a fine-grade foam sanding block, scratch up the bunched sleeves, which creates a "tiger stripe" effect when the...

I've really grown to love the ToD jacket. I've had Raiders and Crusade jackets before, but resisted the Temple because nobody could ever get the pattern correct. When I saw the first pics from Wested in January 2021, I pulled the trigger immediately. I think I achieved a decent result after several ...

A dear friend of mine kindly ordered me a Raiders jacket from Wested! A copy of the original label is sewn into it! I also requested an extra inner pocket. It's made from washed lambskin, I believe. More details to follow!!
