Howdy Nicmusto. Welcome the the board. Congrats on an excellent post and a nice looking hat. Thats an interesting reaction you got, although to be honest I'm not too surprised. Remember that alot of people seem to think we're abit odd for collecting this kind of stuff ans as Skippy said these are on...

Wested have made stuff for the new Star Wars movies but also did some stuff for the original trilogy too. I dont know exactly what though. Didnt Luke have a leather jacket at the very end of A New Hope?

I always thought the reason cotton t-shirts and stuff shrink in the wash was if you wash them in hot water and dry them in a dryer. Doesnt washing them in cold water help prevent shrinking? :? Adventure Lad Exactly what AL said :) & yes on the cold water issue 8) Prooving that I am finally dome...

I certainly will. I'm very interested in the Mummy items they made myself so I may well go back in the near future. Its just a 30 minute drive away and I'd definitely ask about the Rocketeer jacket again.

Adventure Lad

Very sorry Bruce but like I said, I didnt take a close look at them. He had a whole bunch of stuff on a rack. I know he also kept finished orders on the same rack so I'd guess everything on there was stuff that had just been finished. Peter just skimmed through some of it telling me what it was for ...

I totally agree with J_Weaver, wearing a fedora at 22 is like social suicide :roll: Very interesting that Flash Gordon can walk around Manhatten without any looks or comments because I always think whether or not you can get away with a proper hat depends on where you live. I was in London with a fr...

Excuse my ignorance but do you mean Harry Potter 4? cos he had a few bits from Harry Potter when I was there. Afraid I didnt really look at them though. I'm not really a Harry Potter Fan.

Adventure Lad

wow, this topics been going on for ages. Last time I was at Wested was around october last year. I went in two or three times and each time asked about the Rocketeer jacket. It always put a look of despondance on Peters face :p All he had was some leather sitting ontop of a hanger rack. Think he sai...

I've worn my Westeds to work with a shirt and tie. Its a good look. Most people wont even pick up on the Indy link since they dont think Indy wore dress trousers.

Adventure Lad

You'll be very pleased with it Canyon. Its a good quality shirt, as I'm sure you already know.

Adventure Lad

So finally living in England actually pays off!

Usually the real sting when ordering overseas comes from the postage.

Adventure Lad

Hello Clive, welcome to the board, I havent been here long myself. I think you'll find everyone here oozing with knowledge and always willing to share it.

Adventure Lad

I learn something new everyday! Thanks for the info.

Adventure Lad

I just checked SoF for the first time, I notice they do a replica MKVII complete with leather strap for only £25. Anyone know what the qualitys like on these? I was going to order from Todds costumes, but maybe swayed.

Adventure Lad

Thats exactly how I feel Jack, everyone seems to love it and everytime I see a leather jacket on someone I have to check if its an Indy. It never is!
But I remember Peter telling me the orders for the Indy jacket pretty much all come from the States.

Adventure Lad

Awesome lookin' jacket there Adventure Lad, thanks for posting! :D It kinda reminds me of the way Indy's jacket looked in the beginning of Temple of Doom during the Lao Che plane scene. Enjoy your jacket in great health! kind regards, Captain D Thank you kindly Captain D. Temple is my favourite of ...

Excuse my ignorance here but on avergae how long does a good quality hat last before it begins to taper? I wouldve thought it was an inevitablity, after all, all clothes start to look worn after a while, depending on what you put them through.

Adventure Lad

Some of seem to be waiting a painfully long time for your jackets. Its gotta be reasuring to know Peters so concerned about the quality of his products.

What hide is your new jacket Jack? It looks like its got a cool redish colour to it.

Adventure Lad

Thanks for all your comments and thanks for those links ob1al. I'm definitly looking for a new fedora, I bought the stetson just as a nice collectors piece. I'd still go for another TOD style though. I think its a better look, plus its my favourite of the three films. and yes, I got served by Peter ...

Thanks Canyon, its good to find other people with a love of Indy.
I'm from Strood in Kent, where apparently I'm the only Indy fan around

Adventure Lad

Hello, welcome onboard. :) Now that your here a word of advice if I may:- Remember the old COW proverb: 'Debt free today, 29.9% APR tomorrow' :wink: Oh, and watch out for Bink. Never, EVER agree to a group hug. :wink: Which part of the UK are you in mate? Up North or Dahn Sawf? Regards Al Thank you...

I'm still yet to buy myself a nice fitting swanky looking fedorabut I thought I'd post some pics of my old Temple fedora. Its actually one of the Stetson produced hats made when TOD was released. In terms of quality its almost laughable compared to the pics I've see of yours, but I thought Id post i...

Had no idea mine was so unique. Now I love it even more.
I'd be interested in seeing the redish horsehide jackets. The LC jacket had quite a redish colour to it but Ive never seen a replica with that colouring.

Adventure Lad

Welcome Adventure Lad! That is a very sweet jacket. Would you say the horsehide was thicker than the other hides Wested offers? -Lemon The range Peter had in store when I was there included the lambskin, a goatskin (which was a very redish brown colour), the horseskin and a black one, not sure what...

Hi there COW members. Just thought I'd take this opportunity to say howdy to you all as this is my first post. I think I have the jacket your talking about. I got it from Wested in september, when not only did I find out they existed, but that they're only 15 minutes from where I work! Twas like a d...
