Exactly! I do not recall my previous jacket had this “problem”. That's why I think Peter should back to the old specifications! When you see any of the Indiana Jones movies you can notice that action pleats in the Harrison Ford’s jacket does not open in the way our jackets do. Why Wested should not ...

"- Action Pleats. I think they are too deep compared to what I see on screen and my old pre-Wested Leather Concessionaires jacket. I'd see if Peter could make them more "shallow" and/or ask for the elastic to help them from staying so open..." I had exactly the same problem with ...

You can look at these shots as well. The jacket is a Wested's raiders style made of goatskin.

When I saw the movie trailer I also noticed the pleats on the jacket... I think that Wested made the jacket for Tom Cruise, althougt it is my private note.

PS. They once made a jacket(s) for Minority Report where Mr. Cruise starred in, though...

The fit of the jacket might looks a little bit close but please note I wear a sweater under it... Apart of that, my intention was to have a jacket that would be a close fit and I think it looks that way. As for the 80's feet I've never thought about it that way... have you ever did any research on t...

I sold my TOD jacket because it didn't feet me well... I decided to go for a jacket made of goatskin because it is more durable than lambskin. I can't agree that there are no differences. Maybe pics don't show this but I have noticed many differences from the first time when I saw and put on the jac...

Hi, Thanks a lot! I am glad you like the jacket. It is really amazing! One more time Wested did a great job! My first impression when I opened the package was that the jacket was heavier than my previous one (lambskin) and a little bit stiffer. However I feel very comfortable wearing it. As of today...

I was waiting for my jacket about 2 months. Although I ordered my jacket in August I received it in October. The reason of this fact was that Wested had to wait for new shipment of lambskin ordered from Italy (the previous leather had scars and was simple useless). When finally Wested received the g...

Wested jacket alterations

Hello All, Few days ago I wrote to Gerry from Wested to find out whether would be possible to modify the jacket that had been already made. I have a ToD jacket and I wished to change the size from 42 to 40 and this is what he replied: "...Unfortunately, whilst we can taper the sleeves a little,...

Just wondering if MBA Costumes (used to known as Noel Howard) has been out of business since year 2003 why their catalogue for Indy's gear parts as well as their contact info still exists on the indygear's contact section.

Thank you!
