I am not sure the materials are cheap Cowboy, none of the thread has broken and the leather is fine, I think it just came undone. Should I PM Peter about it? I read somewhere else his wife has had health issues and as much as I love my jacket, I have no desire to bother him with it if he is experien...

From what I have seen on the forums Afrayedknot, I would definitely request reinforced stitching around the handwarmers. I would also think about trying to get something other than satin on the sleeves too. Sure they make the jacket slide right on, but on the right arm where the elbow bends, the lin...

I wasn't throwing the baby out with the bath water, I just wanted to know if it was a common problem and how to get it fixed. Isn't that why we have these forums?

nevrwhere

The stitching is coming undone on the hand-warmer area on both sides of my Wested. Now I would have chalked it up to me being too rough on the jacket, but it is happening on both sides of the jacket. The only things that go in those pockets are my hands (without gloves) and keys so it isn't somethin...

nevrwhere

To echo Cowboy's plight, I have had the seams pop where the handwarmer pockets are. I am really concerned about this. I love the jacket and all but it isn't that old. I don't really shove anything in them other than my hands or my keys (small keyring with two keys on it). This is by no means a flame...

Nice, good for you. Someday I will have a pair of Aldens, just not sure when. Looks like Shoe Mart seconds are the way to go though.

nevrwhere

Bummer. I just checked the site and they only sizes 8 & 9 left and I needed a 10.

nevrwhere

Well that's easy for you to say Gater, living in Ottawa. I imagine it gets cooler there quicker than Cleveland. I was in North Bay in August and was able to wear my jacket in the evenings even then. In Cleveland, with the humidity in the high 80-90% and the temps near 90, you can't wear the jacket f...

nevrwhere

It finally cooled down to the mid-low 60's today in Cleveland, so I was able to bring the jacket out. Boy did I miss it!

Anyone have any advice on putting the Turk's head on the end of the whip? And the know that sits where the whip meets the handle? I've made the rest of the whip, but the turk's head knots are killing me. I have the book by Ron Edwards and he is pretty detailed with his descriptions but I still am ha...

My pants arrived today and they are pretty nice. I love the button fly and the material seems as if they would take some abuse. All in all a great deal, many thanks to Inexpensive Jones.

nevrwhere

Trust a man with the name Inexpensive Jones to find what looks like a great deal. I'm interested in a size 34 if you would pick up a pair for me. Just let me know how you would like to handle the shipping etc. It looks like you have chosen very wisely. I love the button-fly too.

nevrwhere

I am from the north part of your state and it gets pretty cold up here by the lake and I do fine with the combo. Michaelson, wise man that he is, is right about the satin sleeves though. They are great during the cold weather when I am pulling the jacket over a long sleeve shirt, but they tend to st...

nevrwhere

Oh, I remember when I got my jacket. What a wonderful day for you! I almost hate that summer is here as it is too hot to wear it comfortably.

nevrwhere

I have the Edwards book and as I am sure you well know seeing as you just bought it, it is the bible on whipmaking. I am actually in the middle of plaiting my whip now and I am surprised I ever made it to this point. I would never have gotten this far without it. The information is easy to understan...

nevrwhere

Just picke dthe shirt up today and I like it a lot. I will probably go pick up a couple more this weekend.

nevrwhere

Here's to the past 41 and to as many more as possible! Oh and thanks again for the wonderful jacket.

nevrwhere

That's a nice looking hat! I was thinking of going with that one myself but I was worried about shaping/bashing the hat. Looks like you did a great job though!

nevrwhere

Slim fit? Aw man, that rules me out. I either have a waist of doom or Short Round strapped to my waist beneath my shirt.

nevrwhere

Congratulations! I bought my first jacket in the fall and I love it. I went with dark brown goat and the TOD cut. I was really torn between the ROTLA and the TOD. I really have a soft spot in my heart for the first movie and out of loyalty I was going to go with that one. I am glad I didn't. I love ...

nevrwhere

It's kind of spongy.

nevrwhere

Got the boots today. They aren't bad, but just as I feared, the sole color is terrible. Not a problem though, hit it with a little black shoe polish and they look pretty good too. They definitely aren't Aldens but they will work for this year. Maybe I will be able to afford the real deal next year. ...

nevrwhere

I'm not sure if these have been brought up before. They are available from American Eagle Outfitters and they look okay. The sole color is horrible but for those of us who can't afford a pair of Aldens, the price is just right. They are listed for $29.99. http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?rci...

I received my TOD jacket a couple of months ago and I love it. A previous poster said the ROTLA jacket was short and they weren't kidding. The TOD is supposed to be longer and I am wondering if I shouldn't have ordered it a little longer. I know that some people have run into issues with the brass d...

Has anyone seen the Tommy Hilfiger Girder boots? These aren't completely accurate but they aren't terrible either.

That's why you are the knower of things Michaelson. You were spont on with the timing! Nobody s happier about you being right than me.

nevrwhere

Okay, I can officially leave the support group now. It has ARRIVED!!!! How wonderful! The leather is beautiful, the quality beyond reproach, and it looks great! I will try and get some pics up ASAP but man am I happy!!!!

nevrwhere

Is it really getting cold down in the west Texas town of El Paso? Remember, I live in Cleveland so we might have very different ideas about cold.

nevrwhere

Well my jacket seemed to be on it's way pretty quick, so I don't think you guys will be waiting too long. Wested seems to have a whole lot of giddyup in their system.

nevrwhere

I emailed Gemma, who said they were very busy, and she said my jacket had already shipped. I checked the tracking number and I was very excited to hear it is in NY. Now I am wondering how long I will be waiting because it is so very close!

nevrwhere

Nice, just spit coffee on my monitor at work because of the previous post. Funny as #### though.

nevrwhere

I am at 19 days so your's will be on it's way prior to mine more than likely. Do you have your order number? Mine was 4703, I think.

nevrwhere

Jerry-
I haven't even considered ordering the hat yet, I was stuck on the jacket. Now you bring the hat up, I'm thinking it is the next thing I'll be stressing over. Man, I don't need anything else to worry about.

nevrwhere

I imagine it's worse when you need to send it back to get it altered. I feel for you, Tcart. I ordered mine going on three weeks ago and I am dying. I hope to God I don't need anything adjusted.

nevrwhere

Any chance we can get a support group going for those of us waiting for their jackets to arrive? I don't know about anyone else but the wait is killing me! I check my email all the time to see if I received anything from Wested. I can only imagine what it feels like to have to send it back for alter...

nevrwhere

Sorry to see you had an issue with your jacket, I know you were excited about it. From everything I've read though, it sounds like you will be well taken care of by Wested. It's got me a little nervous about the jacket I've ordered. Just a side note, earlier in the thread, someone mentioned that the...

nevrwhere

That is one fine looking hat! I am pretty jealous.

nevrwhere

Thanks for the info Jeff. I'm pulling for you to get your jacket quickly, I know the wait is killing me. As far as luck goes, I'd be out picking 4 leaf clovers and rubbing horseshoes and whatever else you can think of.

nevrwhere

Jeff,
Do you remember what your order number was from Wested? I ordered mine in the second week of September and mine ended up being 4703. I am just wondering where I am at in line.

I am waiting for my Wested goat TOD, I ordered it last Thursday (09/15/05) and I can't wait for it. The acetone and sandpaper worked okay? I'll have to keep that in mind.

nevrwhere

How long did it take when you ordered it? I ordered mine not too long ago and I am about ready to die!

nevrwhere

Okay I did it. Now the waiting begins. I ordered a Temple jacket, dark brown goat, x-box stitching, elastic on the pleats. I left off the gussets this time around (I'll probably get those on the next one) and I can't wait. Thanks for the advice from everyone, as I've said before, you people are great!

nevrwhere

You guys rule, I knew I could count on you guys!!

I am ordering a Wested goat TOD tomorrow after about 24 years of wanting my Indy jacket (I first saw ROTLA in theaters when I was six), and I am so nervous about it I think I am going to be ill. I have looked on the posts in the forum and there is a ton of info and this what I have decided so far- T...

nevrwhere

See? That's why I love this place, you guys are always so ready to help. I think thta goat is the way to go and I am leaning more towards the Raiders. I still have about two weeks to decide so, I have plenty of time. But keep the opinions rolling in, all advice is welcome.

nevrwhere

Thanks guys! I definately am going with the goat, but I am undecided about whether or not to do the Raiders or Temple jacket.

nevrwhere

Great news for me! I know you guys don't really know me at all, but I have been poking around this website for quite a while. I never wanted to post because I have wanted that jacket for so long and it has been out of reach, so I have been gearless. Well, my work found an error in my paychecks going...
