I think I better order one while horsehide is available. I think that someone (Marq, maybe) had emailed Wested yesterday wanting a sample of HH after seeing my pics and Wested said they were already out of hide again, but would get some more in a few weeks. Depending on where you live, the wait may...

Enjoy your BEAUTIFUL horsehide jacket!!!

The only small thing I would change is the back panel extending all the way to the sleeve seam. Why can't Wested just get this detail straight? Some come with it standard, some ask for it , some just don't come that way. Why is this such an issue? Can you (or anyone) post a photo of this so I can v...

...heavy front quarter horsehide. This stuff is about 1.5mm thick (measured from swatches) and is very, very stiff. The Indy jacket would look all wrong with this kind of leather, it wouldn't drape. This weight of leather is hard to find...there is only one tannery left in the US that makes heavy F...

rigor - we (me & hubby) think it looks fine - especially if you reside in or visit cool weather, as it will still fit you well with a sweater beneath it - which others very aptly pointed out.

Hi Canyon - the pleasure is mine! Many thanks for the wonderful pleasant greeting!!

I'm truly happy to be here as the folks 'round here are quite nice!!!

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like these gloves will be excellent additions to my growing collection of leather goods.

Those are VERY nice looking gloves! :shock: Regards. Michaelson Greetings! I recently joined and am really enjoying reading through the various threads!! I ordered a couple pairs of these gloves as work gloves - one for me and the other for my husband - oh my - these gloves absolutely ROCK!!! The h...

latest breaking news: No horsehide yet. Wait another week. I'm getting emails from Gemma(?) now. Greetings! I'm new here and am thoroughly enjoying reading various threads about these jackets. I contacted Wested through their web site on 03-05-05 to inquire about ordering one of their Indy jackets ...
