Hope it's ok to resurrect an old thread. Just wanted to say that 4 years on I still love my horsehide Wested Raiders and its holding up like a champ. :clap: No loose bits etc. This jacket is well-made for sure. The only thing I have done is I had a thin leather lining sewn on the inside of my left s...

Well, my luck seems to have run out... I was getting jackets from Wested in about 2 weeks (3 orders over the last 5 months). My LC horsehide seems to have hit a snag - I placed the order on 3/13. The problem seems to be getting the press-studs put on (waiting for 2 weeks to get this final piece don...

I ordered 80s fit as well, and my sleeves are fine. Never had a jacket fit so well. Only mistake was not ordering two!

Nice jacket, Whipwarrior. You and Bjones carry it well, looks good on you both. You are correct; it is heavy but not stiff. I like the solid feel, but at the same time do not feel restricted in it. I love mine. I can't take it off. I'm in my boxers now, but still have my horsehide on... This is my f...

Bjones,

my pics won't be as nice as yours Your jacket looks really good.

all I have is the camera on my Treo

I'll try to take some shots soon. I'm just looking for an excuse to wear it. Think I'll sleep in it tonight...

Mine came today at the office, and fortunately the weather here was cool enough for me to wear it. Most of the sentiments of Bjones et al are echoed here, so some of it has been heard before. This is my first Wested; I hope seasoned hands please excuse a newbie's excitement :) My initial impressions...

Glad you're happy with your jacket, Bjones. It is very nice indeed!

I just eceived my tracking number from Gemma...

factoring in Canadian customs, I anticipate receiving it in about 3 weeks

Well I should be finding out soon....according to online tracking, my jacket has "Arrived at delivery depot"....I think this means my local post office(it arrived in the states on the 7th). Review and pics very soon! Good stuff! Bjones, did you ask for the tracking # or did Wested just se...

\:D/ Yikes!!!! Just got an email from Gemma. My Jacket was shipped yesterday!!!!!! \:D/ That was very fast turnaround. Gemma is my new best friend O:) Anyone else get similar good news? wemedge? Let us know when your jacket arrives, Bjones! :D I got an email from Gemma on Tuesday telling me that my...

OK...finally some good news! The horsehide is in! Gemma sent me the update today....my jacket was/is being cut today! :clap: Good for you, Bjones! Glad to hear the news. Looks like we're back in the saddle! Looking forward to your review. I ordered about a month after you, so I don't know if I'll g...

Crossing fingers and toes for a batch of good (and of sufficient quantity) horsehide on April 29th!

Compared to some department store popular clothing brand leather non-Indy jackets, the Wested price is still comparable, or in many cases, less than what one would pay retail here in Toronto. In my opinion, even with the exchange rate it's still a good deal, price-wise, especially given Wested's &qu...

I put on and remove my hat by the brim. Just never got in the habit of handling it by the pinch/crown. My pinch is very tight, so I never touch it unless I have to.

Thanks for the update, Bjones!

Haven't heard anything either...

I actually get my horsehide news through your inquiries

Did Wested say anything about not being able to return the jacket in case of alterations needed on this one? Regards, Swindiana No mention about returns at all. My only communication with Wested were emails and a phone call to confirm some details. However, I don't think mine would be returnable in...

Just wondering if anyone else has ordered their Westeds without the hand warmer pockets; I know some of you have had them sewn shut afterwards. I ordered my horsehide Raiders without the hand warmer pockets. Not accurate, I know, but I wanted to save the repair work down the line and prevent sagging...

Hello: I too am marking the days off on my calendar waiting my horsehide raiders that I ordered on January 1 of this year. COW has allowed me to feed my jacket withdrawal pangs, and of course provided the knowledge and impetus to order in the first place. Eagerly awaiting my jacket, I'm trying to ma...
