Whoops forgot to mention it has my initials punched inside.It reads DSS.Realise this may put some people off so thought i'd better point that out !

Just a heads up to any guys in UK after a pure beaver adventurebilt.I'm selling mine in the 'for sale' section

Hi. I'm after a good quality pic/illustation of indys fedora and whip and maybe gun artistically laying together .Sure i've seen a pic similar somewhere but cant find it.Is anyone aware of a similar pic i can use which isn't copyrighted etc.

J Weaver.I'd say the pic in your avatar is the schumy one

J.Weaver.You aren't realated to Michael Schumaker by any chance ?Theres definately a resemblence !!

the postage was pretty steep from that place ken told me about.Would be nice to just go to a shop and buy a bottle.

Tim where did u manage to find acetone as i'm having the same trouble as you did finding anywhere that does it in uk

Yep.Yours looks spot on langpuss.Not sure if mine looks so good zippered up.Yours looks a bit more broken in than mine so maybe that might help once mines become a bit softer.Now if only i could get my hands on some acetone.Bloody hard to get hold of over here!

Thanks for all the replies.Nice to get others opinions.if i keep asking my wife what she thinks reckon i'll get a slap before long ! Although i dont wear my jacket zippered very often when i do i dont think this one looks right.Think it would be better with the extra inch for the dreaded rideup but ...

Last year ordered an authentic lamb raiders size 44 L but thought it felt a little big and changed for a 42 L which was a much closer fit. Keep looking a pics of the 44 L and cant help but feel that maybe i should have kept the bigger jacket after all as looking back it looked nicer especially when ...

ACE: Why does that idol keep staring at my groin ?
IDOL: Hmmmm .....Indy had a better package.

So apart from nail varnish remover and ageing our jackets what is acetone actually used for ??

dont suppose anyone has put a collection of pics together of the raiders jacket from all different angles so u can get an idea of of where to distress ? now that would be handy.

Have an authentic lamb raiders and am seriously considering distressing it.Just wondered wheres the best place to buy acetone /alcohol .is the sandpaper that every uses available from diy stores or would u get it from somewhere more specialized ?

Seeing those pics makes me really want to distress my jacket !

Are u worried that everyone at work will want one then and u dont want to get them mixed up ???

Thanks for the quick replies.Whats the going rate for a hardly worn raiders jacket roughly ?

Considering selling my Lamb Raiders Jacket and trying another with a few more mods ,maybe distressed. How do u guys trade them on.Do u sell through the forums or ebay etc ?

Jock....Why dont u go downthere in person.Its not far from the dartford crossing so shouldn't be too far for u to travel and u can get measured by the experts and explain what u want.

Yes finally happy with the jacket.Perfect fit now.

Well after jerking the guys at wested around i am finally happy with my jacket.As i mentioned above decided to go a size smaller and also make the jacket shorter.The 42L was a lot better fit than the original 44L but wasn't happy with the length as it felt too short ! :roll: So had to return my jack...

He did say it was a preference thing but did comment on the 42 looking a better fit on me than the 44 L .At the end of the day its what u feel comfortable in and i felt i wanted a shorter more tighter fittting jacket than the 44L .As i said they were ok about sorting me out and Wested are

Just returned from Wested minus my jacket.Wasn't happy with the fit and just kept niggling me.Want it to be 100 %.Going for a 42 which will be about an inch and a half shorter in the length and fit me much more snug around the body.Cant fault these guys service.Had no problem sorting me out and chee...

Cheers.Still not 100% on length but it is definately starting to grow on me more and more considering i've hardly taken it off since i got it ! Size was a 44L as i'm 6ft tall.Dont know if that sounds about right.Actually it was another guy who measured me.Dont know his name but guess he was his Pete...

A few more pics for those interested: http://public.fotki.com/simmo/

Could you repeat that?

adjusted the side fasteners but to get a more snug fit the fasteners end up sticking out to much and look like they are flapping in the breeze.

should i have this much room up front being as i'm a nice slim chap

Its the authentic lambskin and still not positive its a little too big all round really.feel it needs to be tighter and shorter.When i do up the zip even wearing a tshirt and sweatshirt its still not that tight

Finally got my Raiders jacket. Heres some pics.would appreciate some comments on the fit.Do u think its the right length for Raiders ? Somehow imagined it to be shorter.I know the sleeves are a bit long but hate having short sleeves and when they ride up should fit ok :[img]http://members.lycos.co.u...

Sat down and watched the Indy films the other day after getting the r.1 dvd trilogy for christmas and remembered how much i'd always loved the Indy jacket so thought i would have a look on the net.Eventually came across Wested leather and these forums and realised i only live 30 mins from Wested lea...
