I remember years ago someone told me that when your car loses that new car smell, go to the upholstery shop and get some trimmings and put them under the seat. It works. Especially if it's really hot weather.

Thanks guys for all the information and suggestions. I am certainly in the 'it's just too #### big to overlook' catagory. I love a distressed jacket as much as the next guy but am looking forward to doing it myself and for the cost of these jackets they ought to start out perfect. Gemma and I have b...

Here are some pictures of the problem. http://www.pbase.com/tcartpilot/image/51043966/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/tcartpilot/image/51043967/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/tcartpilot/image/51043968/original.jpg This is really too bad. The jacket is absolutely beautiful in every other way. Th...

I am sure that this was not a customs issue. The back appeared to have been up against the corner of another box for some time and the corner and worn through the outer shipping bag and then the two interior plastic bags that Wested uses. The outside hole is approximately 3 inches in diameter and th...

My Wested arrived back today from have the sleeves shortened. :lol: Everything is perfect now with one large exception......Wested ships their jackets in a flimsy plastic shipping bag that something tore all the way thru during shipping and put a big scrap right in the front of the jacket!! :x I was...

All this talk of delays in customs seems really interesting to me. I regularly ship things all over the world, Europe, Middle and Far East, and even South America and have never had anything take more than 10 days tops and usually just a week. Always us Priority USPS. Watches mostly but knives and a...

Here is my vote. Hamilton 4992B pocket watch. This is the military version of the famous 992B railroad watch. A fantastic bullet proof movement with a dial that can be read in all environments. http://www.pbase.com/tcartpilot/image/50598997.jpg You can bet that Indy would have used a pocket watch fo...

Sure it's not horsehide? Alot of those old jackets were made out of horsehide because there was alot of it around back then.

Great looking jacket!!

I HAD IT......RIGHT HERE IN MY HOT LITTLE HANDS.......then had to send it back for a minor alteration. Now waiting for the second time. Just got an email from Gemma that they received it and are working on it but nothing specific on how long.

OH THE HUMANITY.......

Wow......this turned into a great thread. Still waiting to hear from Gemma about when my jacket might be done but hopefully any day now! Here in the Willamette Valley of the Pacific Northwest, it is perfect weather for a leather jacket. Most days 45F or so in the evenings and clear weather. Showers ...

Hey Skippy, I know exactly what you mean.....I started on the street 18 years ago at 155 pounds (don't know how that compares to stone?) after 5 years or so moved in the 911 dispatch center. Now at 205. Talk about sitting all day long.... Haven't come close to staying away from the donuts/chocolate/...

As I sit hear reading the forum and wishing that I had my new Wested jacket back from having a minor alteration I am thinking of all of you lucky people that must be happly enjoying your jackets and wondering what you did in your Wested today?

Any stories out there yearning to be told?

Tcart

We'll see what happens.....I did clearly mark the package 'Return for repair and alteration' on the outside and inside of the package.

Hoping for quick turnaround,
Tcart

Your kidding!! Ok......so what happens if I don't pay the fees?

Wow....I guess I must have been one of the lucky ones. It just showed up on my doorstep, no questions asked. Which is good since the jacket had to go back for a minor alteration. I hope that I don't get the fees tacked on when it comes back the second time around??!!

Tcart

Thanks Guys,

I think that I am just being too anal retentive about the collar. I am gonna leave it alone for now and try and train it down when it comes back from Peter.

Sorry Dre.......it is a TOD jacket.

T-cart

Ok....so this may seem like a small thing, but I will ask anyway..... Has anyone else had a problem with the collars on their Wested jackets not laying down properly? Do they relax over time? If you look at the picture of my new jacket, one side stands up and one side lays down flat. I don't think I...

Ok.....so I have taken everyones advise and am shipping the jacket back to Wested to be fixed up. I think that this was what I was going to do all along didn't really want to give the jacket up for that long, but tomorrow or Monday out it goes. As quick as the jacket came to my house after I purchas...

Yes....the avitar is my new jacket. It is almost the exact color of a Hersey bar. But like everyone says, it all depends on the light. I would have prefered it be a little darker but I am still pleased.

T-cart

Hey everyone!! I promised to get some pictures of my new horsehide jacket out to the group and (somewhat belatedly) here they are. I jumped out and grabbed these before packing it back up and shipping it back to get the sleeves shortened. Right now you can't tell, but this is well over 1" rolle...

I just today received my Wested horsehide TOD and it was $303 USD shipped to the west coast USA. I think it's one of the best deals going!!

Have been lurking on the list for quite some time and this is the first post so here goes !! Have just ordered a WESTED TOD in horse. Got the rectangular sliders, gussets, and ALL cotton lining. Now wishing I were a patient person because the wait is KILLING ME !!! Any know about how long till the t...
