I do remeber seeing a pic of one of the French jackets and it did have the small pockets... I did get a Wested goat TOD (now that COW is back up I will post some pics), and it's a very nice jacket, as you would expect from Wested. Yet, to me it looks just like a raider's, since the measurements for ...

I went to Wested on January 6th, placed my order.
The Jacket was mailed out January 28th, I held it in my hand February 1st.
So total time including shipping 26 days (thankfully, it doesn't take all that long to ship something from the UK to Germany).

Whopeee

Nothing constructive...
I'd just consider it a mark of character. After a while, once the jacket will get a more worn look, it will add to the look of a lived in jacket...

Sorry I couldn't help much with getting the crease out...

Hi guys and gals, today, when I got home from university, IT was waiting for me.... finally! My first impression was: How could they fit an entire jacket into such a small package.... but then I opened it... The parcel was correctly marked as a Temple of Doom jacket... and there it was! The smell of...

Congrats! Welcome to the club of those biting their nails while waiting for the jacket. Just noticed that you were from Iowa... got folks in Nevada (as in the town east of Ames, Iowa, not the state in the west :)) Cheers MLM P.S.: It's 21 days for me now... you can just stop trying not to count, it ...

Yeah, you'll have a blast! Everybody at Wested is really nice!
They have great service and make you feel right at home, even me - although I was probably the most disorganized German they have ever seen
Wested alone is probably worth the trip

When you get to Swanley station, go up the stairs and take a right. That exit will get you to a parking lot. There's a taxi cab service... just ask them to take you to the Wested Leather Co.. It's a quick ride, and it'll cost you about 6 Pounds. BTW.: If you go there from Victoria Station by train, ...

Actually, I find this waiting period quite exhilarating... staying here at Club Obi-Wan and reading through all the jacket postings gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling of having made the right choice... That very soon I will have one great jacket makes me feel giddy as a school boy, if I may say so....

I am quite as giddy to see some pics
Congrats on the jacket!

Jerry gave me an ETA of about three weeks (another week to go), if it doesn't arrive by the fourth week, I was told to give them a call.

OK, I am off for the weekend,...

Sounds good
I am waiting for my TOD goat, and I can hardly wait to hold it, caress it, WEAR it... I am getting carried away
This is a very exhilarating phase

Way to go, Pagey

When I was there two weeks ago, Peter and Jerry showed me a piece (a kind of west) from Mad Eye Moody's costume. It certainly looked interesting

P.S.: They are also doing Elvis costumes... hail to the king, baby

Congrats, Strider! ***Gotta - fight - urge - to - order - an AB - right now... my girlfriend would have my head chopped off (at the very least) for shelling out money for a jacket and a hat the same month- on the other hand, that hat would probably look good just sitting on my neck :) *** Oh, yeah, ...

I'm sure Peter knows what he's doing, but do I know that he's doing what he know's he's doing?

I'm sure he'll make it good, but I guess you could always drop them a line or give them a call if you are concerned.

I'd have to go with Hem'n' Ken.
The 42 just looks better and hangs better when open... the 44 is getting that "bell" look.
Not to say that the jacket isn't really nice in 44 as well
So, I'd stick with the 42

Nope, they’re TOTALLY in the wrong for use of the word “EXACTLY”… Exactly! :) I am just trying to figure out, if it is ignorance, incompetence or malevolence on Herrington's part. Well, I it is probably not polite, but since I believe in "in dubio pro reo", I'd go with ignorance - so, the...

Well, yupp, it's a 50 bucks hat... but the guys' marketing sounds like it's the penultimate Indy hat. (THE EXACT SAME :) ) So, I feel, that those two details may be slightly out of sync. While this doesn't cause too much of an emotional stir for me, I think it is desireable for the company to correc...

Well, I am AMAZED! And I shouldn't have been, after all, because everything at Wested was just as you guys described. I walked in there on thursday, and everything seemed so familiar and warm-hearted. Chatted with Jerry over my order, got the tour of the shop, got to meet Peter, got a lift to the tr...

Sorry to bump this old thread :) I am just a bit excited and needed a way to vent that - any other sort of venting would probably get me in trouble with the girlfriend :) Going to Wested on Thursday - and I truly do hope they will be open. Anyway, as I tried to find directions to Swanley, Google poi...

Yupp, the Egypt collection is VERY nice (studied egyptology for a bit, to balance the less exciting computer sciences major :) ). I just fear, that there is too little time to go to the British Museum - plus I did get lost in there two years ago - and on the way back to Victoria Station, because I d...

Good call with the British Museum, Rob!
Alas, I fear, I'd get lost there

Germany can be really frustrating... After having had some very bad service experiences here in good old Germany( nobody wanted to take my measurements :roll: ), I decided to fly over to London and pay Wested a visit on January 6th. While there, do you think there is anything else to go see that is ...

Well, if I remember correctly, my -unfortunately now stolen - Avirex lambskin Varsity Jacket had a label inside, that warned of exactly the effect described. Dry cleaning the jacket, it said, would take off the finish and leave it a brownish washed-out shade... So, I guess, that is what happened to ...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Sure feels good being here :) And thanks for the advice... all I need now is to complete my ongoing quest for a tailor to have my measurements taken! The one thing I have noticed is that this is a highly dangerous hobby. I have not even started yet, and I am already look...

Hi! After lurking for quite some time here, I decided to join up and this is my first post. Well, first of all: Hi everybody! I have finally made up my mind to order a Wested TOD in authentic brown (after my trusty Avirex got lifted), and this forum has really helped me a lot. So, thanks everybody! ...
