I own and wear only black socks. they are all black - not brown, no white. makes it easy when one sock gets lost in the laundry.

guys don't forget: never wear socks in sandals!

Pandora

Yeah, that'll be the cherry on the cake!

Pandora

Maybe it is this string you are looking for?

I became an Indy-fan when I was about 12 (now I'm 25). From the beginning I always wanted such a jacket but at the age of 12 I had no idea where to get one. But I startet loving and wearing leather jackets (in the beginning imitation leather since I was a teenager and was not able to afford real lea...

I had and still have some trouble with the communication with Wested. I and another german gearhead gave their Westeds to Peter at the Hamburg-Summit to have some changes made. This was in the middle of October. I sent about 3-4 emails to Gemma to ask when we might get our jackets back and how much ...

Pandora

these are soooo cool pics! The clothing looks so indyesque... no - it's the other way 'round - Indy looks to 30-esque!

Pandora

great gear - good look and luck

- tell us about the contest (you know we like pics...)!

Pandora

Yes Michaelson it was me. Peter told us. I think it happend last week. She had pain and collapsed in a supermarket. They took her to the hospital and did some examinations to find out what the problem is. First they thought it could be gall stones or a slipped disc (which are completely different th...

Pandora

thx guys:oops:... this gillian anderson-thing... Indiana Tom also mentioned this at the last summit... OK, so I'm off to some X-Files-Forum... Indiana Jones - Adieu!!!!

noooo, just kidding

Pandora

It's a standard jacket raiders style with special messurements but no further mods. I don't plan any distressing - I could never ever harm my wested. I will let it distress the natural way. I like the sleeves and the whole jacket to be a little bit loose because I want to wear it in winter and need ...

Pandora

Got my authentic brown lambskin Wested few months ago and finally took pics. Here you go: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/6972/10011989uh.th.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2928/10011970kd.th.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9979/wested20ik.th.jpg http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/6...

Pandora

Henry I also think the sleeves are a little too short but that's not a problem so don't make it a problem. they are still long enough. for that price it's fine. keep it as long as it fits you - if you grow out of it you still can sell it. I think my wested is a little too baggy and too wide on the s...

Pandora

thx swindi, I used DanClorix (liquid bleech), abrasive and a wire brush.

Pandora

here is mine, it's a WPG-bag (replica), distressed with a TAG-strap. The snap fasteners have been changed (from those with patterns on to plain ones): http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b159/wattewuschel/100_1125.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b159/wattewuschel/100_1124.jpg The cat is Aimee - ...

Pandora

for all of you who are tinking about getting a Zippo from Relic Raider: I can fully recommend him as a craftsman and vendor. (un)fortunately I already have a #200 -elsa-zippo and I'm very happy with it.

Pandora

I ordered my MK VII (replica) from WPG too and didn't have to pay any duty. It depends on how they declare the article and the worth... my package said: canvas bag, 20 $...

You could also ask them to declare it as a "gift" - then it's also rather unlikely that you get charged.

Pandora

wow, I'm jealous!!! what a lucky find. Props, framed for such a low price. I wonder if the seller got straight about what he is selling there and how expensive these things can be...

Pandora

why not try the bag strap available at Texas Action Gear - unfortunately the website seems to have problems - I can't open it. http://www.texasactiongear.com I think they said something that the bag strap will not fade out. I have one and like it very much but I haven't tested it in humid climate yet.

Pandora

seems like a good thing as long as the tchibo-gloves are available again...

Pandora

This is one thing I don't understand: "you get something...then I want something too...". SO you always get something when your wifes buys something for her (clothes, make up, ...)? probably not. Spending money is no comeptition. I think in a relationship both should be happy. And if it's ...

Pandora

I wear my Wested almost every day - except if it's too hot. My MK VII I carry with me in my freetime since it doesn't match well with the business look...

Pandora

Welcome! And don't forget:

Guys and dolls... we're just a bunch of crazy guys and doll...

Pandora

Yes Sir, I'll deliver pics later - need the time to find somebody taking the pictures maybe in a nice indyesque area.

Pandora

Railok I can fully recommend paypal-payment. No fees, security, works great for me. All you have to do is opening a free account there, then send the money from your bank account to paypal (is it transfered to your paypal-account), then you can use it for payment. I paid my WPG-MKVII and my Wested v...

this was my first idea too. or maybe you can try to cut it out with a very sharp knife? watch your fingers then! maybe it also works when you heat the knife before so the plastic will melt a bit (when it's a metallic gun).

Pandora

I did a google-search and here is the (a?) sorce for these:

http://www.skystoneandsilver.com/Mercha ... scufflinks

but they seem to be in silver. just google for "eye of horus cufflinks" and you will find a lot.

Pandora

congratulation and: be patient. I know how hard it is to wait - but it's worth it.

Pandora

Those of you who have access to the NE could you please post a pic when Mr. X is in with the hat?

Pandora

I also ordered mine (raiders, auth. brown lambskin) a bit larger so I can wear a sweatshirt under it. Lambskin is supposed to be too thin for hard winters.

Mine is a little too large at the shoulders but it's ok to me.

Pandora

Has the strap ever been a web strap in the "indy-history"?

I thought the had taken a MK VII for the movies and replaced the web strap with a leather strap which was a gun strap before.

Or am I wrong?

Pandora

I don't know much about wested but I think they have enough staff to do the daily work and to produce the jackets. I think Peter is more involved in the design-stuff so the sooner you place your order the faster you'll get your jacket.

Pandora

I always asked Gemma by email with my gmx-account. It worked very well and she always replied quickly (within a few minutes sometimes). Maybe you could write an email to her (if you haven't before) and she can ask Peter.

Pandora

congrats Dre!!!!

You finally got it, great.

I'm still waiting but I hope next week mine will arrive too. Can't wait to see pics.

Pandora

Dre: I suffer with you.

I told you that I expected my Wested to be finished last week and hoped to get it this week. No.... Noooooooooooooo ;-)

It is supposed to be finished this week and will be sent next week.

Pandora

I really don't like the idea of a younger (male) assistant or even younger, lost brother (what a stupid idea). What about a female assistant or student? This has been is the Indy-books and would work well. I hope they hurry up with making INDY IV since I swore that I won't go to the cinema before (s...

Pandora

congratulations on this find!!!

Pandora

As you said there is no perfect leather... the one will be too warm in the desert or the jungle, the other one maybe is not tough enough. Although Indy wore his jacket everywhere (ice, snow, rain, desert, ...) this is not realistic I guess. You might have to define where you want to wear your wested...

Pandora

Oh how I wish that this is true...

Then we could finally say:

Habemus scriptum

I never had latin so I'm not sure if this is right...

Pandora

@Dre: don't mind, I'm sure to get it next week and I'm in the lucky position not to be charged with any customs. And I'm very patient. Also get packages almost every day because I ordered quite a lot from ebay. That makes waiting much easier. For those who are interested, here is the mail I got from...

Pandora

@Dre: I emailed with Gemma today and she told me that one of the cutters was out of town for 2 weeks and when he returned started continuing with higher production numbers and must have skipped some. Bute she promised that my jacket will be completed this week so I'll get it next week I hope.

Pandora

Now I recall: my jacket's number is 4564, Tom's was 4554. No. 4 in the end... coincidence?:?: Don't worry, I even dream of getting the jacket. Last night I had some kind of nightmare: the jacket was far too long. I like how it feels to wait: feelng this excitement every day. I waited to get such a j...

Pandora

Don't mind Dre... I'm also waiting. What is your production number? I can't remember mind but I think I ordered earlier then you so I'm first ;-). Indiana_Tom, who's production no. (not his of course... I'm talking about the jacket) was 10 no. before mine and he got his one last friday. So maybe I'l...

Pandora

Oh great pics, more!!!

But what the h... happend to the jacket on the second pic??? Or what did the guy do to it? This looks... painful.

Pandora

@spooky: daily use: I must confess: YES, I'm a smoker and that's why I LOVE Indy-lighters (the Zippo, and also got 3 IMCO-lighters like the one Marion uses in the Raven Bar). And it's a nice piece to talk about because I've noticed that people (not Indyfans) and impressed by the Clover-Zippo and the...

Pandora

I also got one from Relic Raider (#200 Zippo) and I'm very happy with it. Have it for daily use.

Pandora

@Jens: in defence: it was so late (about 10:30 pm or so) and I was really tired (I hear TheGerman say: The bed is for the weak...). Of course, Indy could keep me awake but not if I had to watch the hat all the time (I know that there are some guys out there that only watch the hat...).

Pandora

Not an aussie but let me reply anyway: labeling a shipment as "gift" may reduce the risk of being charged but I think if the package looks too big or valuable they might check if it's really a gift. A friend ordered something in the US and had to pay customs duty even though it was labeled...

Pandora

If this "gun" stands in the UK the owners should be careful because of this new law which is likely to come (VCR something).

Pandora

here you can find the dimensions of the MK VII: http://www.indygear.com/gear/bag.shtml

If you are willing to pay 15 bucks for a nice strap, why not pay 19,99 $ and get one from Texas Action Gear? the problem with that are the shipping costs...

Or try to find a nice leather strap near you.

Pandora

I'd say the first one is grey.
