Congratulations, looks great on you Harry! Another fine job by Steve!

Wow, great looking jackets! I like them all, but would consider the first one pictured to be my favorite of the bunch.

spiridon

You're gonna LOVE that HH!! I've been wearing mine every day since it arrived in Jan. I actually hate to see the warmer weather arrive as I will need to leave it in the closet until next fall. :cry: Indy wore his jacket in the desert, so why can't you wear it in warm weather? :wink: :lol: :lol: ......

I have scarcely taken my new Wested HH off since it arrived!! The more I wear it, the more I like it........and appreciate it!!!!

spiridon

Cool Beans, sounds like you hit the jackpot!!

Great looking hat Jeep!! I especially like the pic with the profile.....Gorgeous!

The current Horse hide is really beautiful if you want something hardwearing but still supple.

I can attest to that.....I am LOVING my new HH!!!

spiridon

....the subject of an earlier thread.....got me to wondering, how many of y'all like a little "creak" in your leather? As for me, I happen to like it. In my mind it sort of goes along with that leather smell as one of the positive sensory tags of leather. 8) :D Another "plus" for...

spiridon

Sweeeeeeeeeet!!

spiridon

Details! Give us some details. Which jacket is it? Raiders, TOD, etc? Off the rack or custom? 80's or regular cut? And why do you think it's too large? Did you take measurements when you ordered? Personally I think it looks good but I've been a little curious as to how they cut it. I'm between a 42...

spiridon

from what i hear HH will mold to your form nicely. Thanks IG, I can already tell that will be the case. I'm not sure which one is my favorite (HH or Lamb)....but they are definitely different. The lamb is so soft, and sort of drapes to what ever (whomever) it is covering, while I can tell this HH w...

spiridon

Thanks Chris....the hat is a vintage I picked up on ebay a while back...it's a so called "custom" made by "Masterbuilt". If I'd known my jacket was arriving today i would have worn my AB to work today. :mrgreen: ....yeah, I really like this HH....it's heavier than the Lambskin I ...

spiridon

Hey guys, thanks for all the info provided leading me to make this purchase......a lady from USPS just dropped off a "surprise" pkg!!(I wasn't expecting it until next week) I am very pleased with the construction, the feel, and that intoxicating leather smell of this jacket. I think it fit...

spiridon

8) 8) I LIKE it Rick!! In fact, strange that you should post this......I am wearing a jacket today that is VERY similar to this one.....especially the color and distressed look. I'll try to post some pics of it later......I'd like your feedback and perhaps hazard a guess as to what kind of leather i...

spiridon

WoooHoooo!!!! Great looking jacket Slick! ....and thanks again for the info........I can't wait!!

We need a "smilie" for the "pee-pee" dance.......'cuz that's what I'll be doing until my jacket arrives.

spiridon

Thanks for the info Slick. I believe I placed my order at aprox. the same time....perhaps a few days earlier. One more question....does Wested send out an email when they send it out?

spiridon

Such a topic should be forbidden without the pics ;) :junior: Raider Very true!!!! :lol: :lol: You guys are KILLING me!!! Each one of you who have recently received your jacket and given the glowing reviews.....it really makes the wait.......TORTURE!!!! :twisted: :wink: :lol: :lol: I look forward t...

LMAO.....sorry, no offense intended.....but you have to understand that we have more "Bubbas" in our Southern phone books than there are Smiths or Williams.

spiridon

GREAT looking jacket Kev!! Seeing yours just makes my anticipation of the one I ordered even worse!!

spiridon

Great looking hat.....and looks great on ya!!

spiridon

Great shots, great look! I especially like the last two.

spiridon

.....as long as we're sort of on the subject of leather jackets in "General"....can someone tell me, does the typical "Motorcycle Jacket" tend to run smaller than most other styles? I recently took a chance on a size 40 jacket, the "classic" asymetrical zipper look with...

spiridon

Just a "gut feeling", but my guess would be that Indy would have smoked Cuban Bolivars or perhaps a Partagas. I may be mistaken, but I believe Cohiba is a relatively new cigar company in Cuba .......formed in the late sixties I believe.

spiridon

Awesome looking jacket!

spiridon

Great looking jacket Toldog7! Do you mind me asking when you placed your order? I'm just curious as to what the current "turnaround" time is. Even though my HH jacket isn't due for another couple of weeks or so.......I'm already doing the "pee-pee" dance!

spiridon

Thanks for the pics and the info.....sounds like what I ordered is pretty much the same as yours......I'm REALLY getting anxious now!!!

spiridon

Great looking jacket IT! I'm in the same situation, I really like my lambskin that I got from another member here(DougC).....the only alterations it needed was shortening the sleeves an inch or two....supposed to get it back tomorrow, can't wait!!

spiridon

Dang, sorry to hear about the hassles FD. I gotta admit it makes me a tad nervous since I just placed an order on Friday. However I did receive an email this morning confirming my order and order#......hope it all works out well for you.

spiridon

...yessir, I remember it well. Randy, have they gotten any snow up north this year? I just hope it's cold there in the Valley on Marathon day!

Sorry, didn't mean to wander off subject......[threadjack off]

spiridon

Thanks IK, I look forward to posting pics when the jacket arrives. It was hard for me to choose....y'all made them all sound them appealing in this particular thread. I was a little hesitant to go with HH due to the fact that I live here on the Gulf Coast....possibly making for a smaller time frame ...

spiridon

You guys are really a bad influence on me

....I just called and pulled the trigger on a HH!!

Looks like it'll be PB&J sandwiches for the rest of the month!

spiridon

This is awesome info on leathers from a historical perspective! :D I suppose we can say that if Indy was a true life person during that time, his jacket may not only have been Horsehide, but also Goatskin perhaps... Kind regards, Captain D Agreed! I've learned a lot from this thread alone. Thanks f...

spiridon

So many jacket choices........so little money.

Decisions, decisions..........

spiridon

Padron Black,La Gloria Cubana R series #6. Any good Maduro. And Yours? I like the Padrons & LGC R Series as well. I also enjoy El Rico habana, Hoya de Nicaragua Antano, VSG, La Luna, Torano, Camacho....and some others. 8) Does the HH have that great "heavy" leather smell like the cowh...

spiridon

_, great looking piece of Art! Nothing beats a cowhide for smell and for durability, except for maybe HH. Hmmm, maybe next order. Oh Great!.....just when I was about to decide for sure on ordering a Wested HH, and now I've got something else to think about!! :twisted: PS. Sort of off thread, but wh...

spiridon

Wow, great looking jacket....it has worn well!!

spiridon

Thanks for the info and opinions guys. This has been very helpful in pointing me in the right direction.

spiridon

Thanks for the tip on Hemmingway's pics IK. I looked them up and you are right, that's one awesome looking jacket!

spiridon

Rick, it's pretty cold down here right now.....supposed to get all the way down into the 30s tonight!!!! :wink: :lol: :lol: Thanks for the info........that looks like two votes for HH. Rick, what would you consider the pros & cons of HH vs. Goat. Is it simply a matter of the HH being heavier tha...

....and BTW, Thank You to DougC for getting hooked on the crac....er, I mean Wested!

spiridon

Doing well Mr Conly, thanks for the input! That horsehide that you mention sounds interesting. Like I said, I really like this lambskin but was thinking perhaps something a little different might be a good idea for a 2nd choice. Dang, that's a shame they are out of the goat.

spiridon

:lol: :lol: :lol: ....sorta like a crack dealer on the street corner.....giving you just enough of the stuff to get you hooked! :twisted: :twisted: I recently purchased a Wested Lambskin from DougC, and am wearing it for the first time today. The jacket fits pretty well.....although of course probab...

spiridon

Congrats on your new jacket photorog! I sorta know the feeling I just got a new Wested (well, new to me.

) which I bought from DougC here at COW. I love it! Can't wait for this cold front to move thru tonight.

spiridon

Cool! Then I'm not as confused as I thought I was!

.....mine came already creased.

spiridon

....and just when I thought I had it all figured out.

I thought Steve sent out the ABs with the "Turn" already built in.

Though I have a faint memory of seeing it once, but it might have been in a movie. :lol: :lol: ....yeah I remember life in the desert!

There was not much hesitation in my decision as to which fedora to don this morning. As I looked outside at the threatening weather......and the threat of severe weather throughout the day, I reached for my recently acquired AB to take with me. :D It has served me well today.....in a steady, heavy d...
