Hey guys, wested novapelle finally arrived! Pics to come I promise. The only thing is that it seems rather short, I'm 6'1" and it comes right below my belt. If it was one inch longer it would be PERFECT, I normally wear a 42 but ordered a 40 with longer sleeves for a more fitted look. Anyone ha...

davefelker

Man those are some awesome jackets! Now im really jonesen for my own, really appreciate the pics and all the info. Cant wait to post my own. Wested emailed to say its proccessing, any clue on timeline anyone???

davefelker

I did not soak it long, I then put it in the dryer for a bit and when I took it out everything seemed fine EXCEPT the front along the zipper line seems crinkled and "puffy" in places? Every other place on the jacket is just fine, looks better in my opinion, but those places in the front re...

davefelker

Thanks for the info, just ordered custom ROTA in novapelle. Wested already sent the "processing" email so not sure how long the wait is but until then I have my lambskin expedition jacket I'm going to try to deal with. It's kind of "baggy" but then again I just got it late last w...

davefelker

Hey guys, just received my Gibson and Barnes lambskin expedition, pics to come, but now I have my sights set on the wested novapelle hide. I know it looks a little light in color, but if I apply pecards will it make it out to be a darker brown? Plan on ordering today, thanks for any advice or inform...

davefelker

Can someone with a Wested size 42R give me their jacket measurements please? I recently returned a distressed cowhide 42R because everything on it was too short but at one time I had a goatskin wested 42R and it fit like a glove! I'm the exact same size when owning them both. Just making sure I'm no...

davefelker

Hey fellas, had my eye on the us wings distressed cowhide but would like some specs on sizing. I think I would need a large? I just received my wested distressed cowhide in a off the rack size 42 and it was too short in the sleeves :( . But I still have my custom ROTLA wested which fits like a glove...

davefelker

My new Wested LC goatskin has cotton sleeves which at first I thought was no big deal but after putting it on day in and day out let me tell you they ****! If you have a long sleeve shirt on the cotton sleeve almost seems to stick to it as soon as you put your arm in the sleeve so the rest of the da...

davefelker

I guess they bought the Westeds to copy the pattern - now they're selling them off. I just bought the LC goatskin they were selling on ebay, I paid $235.00 for it and it is "new" that's for sure. They had two more which have already sold, one was a lambskin dark brown ROTL and the other w...

davefelker

Just picked up my Wested LC authentic brown goatskin this morning! First let me tell you I cannot believe how soft this jacket is! I would almost swear it is lambskin, and I did not know how much I would like the authentic brown having owned a dark brown lamb but I absolutely love the color! The siz...

davefelker

Man I'm excited, I just won an ebay auction for a new LC Wested authentic brown goatskin and on top of that my order for a ROTA dark brown lambskin should be here in a week! I will post pics when I receive both of them that way I can do a side by side comparison to show color differences. I guess un...

davefelker

I was looking at the wilson's leather website and ran across this jacket, looks familiar don't you think!

http://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/i ... age=family

davefelker

Letaps didn't do anything to my lamb. I wonder about pecards then, and do I have to use the lotion instead of the standard pecards? Also, should I apply some first thing when I receive the jacket or wait awhile? Sorry to play 50 questions but I just want to get it right and make sure the jacket loo...

davefelker

If you're talking about application on a standard, non-distressed lambskin, you're not GOING to see any difference between the two product applications Regards! Michaelson Sorry Michaelson, what I really meant was what is the difference as far as the look of the jacket goes. I mean does the letaps/...

davefelker

Hey does anyone have some before and after photos of a lambskin jacket with letaps or pecards lotion? Just curious to see how much of a difference it makes in the appearance of the jacket. Thanks

davefelker

Do you guys think the brown tinted pecards will not only darken the distressed cowhide but make it look less distressed?

davefelker

Thats a good looking jacket

davefelker

*** note to self: PM peter and have him make indy jacket in the dr. who jacket leather *** :lol:[/quote] Man that Dr. Who jacket did look good in the predistressed hide, thanks Indiana G :wink: . I wonder what the predistressed hide would look like with the brown tint pecards rather than the regular...

davefelker

Can I request from Peter to have it darker than normal?

davefelker

Well I just put my month old LC jacket on ebay and as soon as it sells I'm ordering a new Raiders jacket. I cannot decide on whether I should get the authentic brown lambskin or the distressed cowhide though :-k . In any case I now have very accurate measurements but I am not looking forward to anot...

davefelker

Beautiful jacket Kev

Congratulations man

davefelker

I actually wore mine with a hooded fleece sweatshirt last night while taking the dog for a walk, it was a little tight and the sleeves were quite a bit shorter but it did keep the cold out :wink: . One mistake I think I made when ordering was making the length between shoulders 21" and having 2...

davefelker

I couldn't agree more with agent5, there is nothing wrong with having more to choose from. I personally like it because if you are on budget you have more financial flexibility when shopping for a new Indy jacket, I personally don't care about every spec of the jacket being screen accurate just as l...

davefelker

It is barely a month old.

davefelker

I saw those green jackets on ebay

. Not quite my cup of tea! I did email Wested about an off the rack predistressed cowhide and Gemma said they did not have my size on the rack and they would have to customize it

. I haven't ordered yet but I'm thinking real hard about it

davefelker

I have the LC jacket with the 80's fit option and can't help but notice so much extra jacket under my arms and behind my shoulders, is this normal? The only problem I have with it is if I tighten up the buckles even just a little it makes the back of the jacket stick out alot behind my shoulders. I ...

davefelker

Does it seem baggy around the waist and stomach area? Just something I'm curious about as I'm about to have my 1st post-work beer

davefelker

Hey thanks SD!

davefelker

I really want to get a distressed cowhide wested but was wanting to see more pics before I decide to commit, could anyone who has one please post some pics for me to check out or give me a link to some. Thanks alot!

davefelker

Hey Jim could you please give me the measurements of your jacket, sleeve length and shoulder to shoulder. Thanks.

davefelker

Never mind, I just looked at the size chart again and saw the back length and the difference in size

davefelker

Are the sizes pretty accurate? I see the size chart on their website but it does not say the difference in length between a regular and a long. I usually wear a 42R but I'm 6'2 and would like to have a jacket just a bit longer than the standard length.

davefelker

If I ordered another Wested and just ordered a normal size that they might have on the rack would that be able to ship immediately? I thought about ordering a distressed cowhide in a 42 long and would love to have it faster than waiting the month for customizing. Any suggestions

:

davefelker

Thanks for the tips Michaelson

davefelker

Here is a picture of me with the jacket on, it's probably no the best picture because it does not show my whole hand but gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.

davefelker

Thanks Michaelson for the reply, I knew that would probably be the only option but since it is still a new jacket (less than one month old Wested) maybe once it drapes on my shoulders better that may even help a little.

davefelker

Just curious to see if anyone has any ideas on how to make my jacket sleeves just a tad longer. I hate to say they are too short for me because with my arms straight down they cover my wrist but I would like them to be maybe 1/2 inch longer without taking the jacket to a tailor. Any help would be gr...

RC Halliburton wrote:Just wear the thing for 3 or 4 years through the various seasons, and you'll get a quite a natural distressed look.

I let mine dry after rain soakings and such, and give it a light rubbing of Pecards, to keep it looking just fine.

Is yours lambskin?

davefelker

Well I really didn't "soak" it, I just kinda let the hot water from the shower hit it on all sides for about 3-5 seconds a section. It never even soaked through to the lining. Like I said the jacket looks great, almost like it never happened except for the mid to bottom part of the storm f...

davefelker

I did actually soak it in hot water then immediately dried it off with a towel, everything was great except the zipper flap is now a little "puffy" :cry: , but every other part of the jacket is as good as new. Is there anything I can do to the "puffy" section to make it look norm...

davefelker

Thanks raider, I have already broken in the jacket somewhat good being in the rain the other day. It actually took some of the shine off for me :D . Now hopefully once I put some Letaps on it will look even better. Oh yeah, can you use Letaps on any kind of leather? I have a new black leather jacket...

davefelker

Okay here is my LC dark brown lambskin, 80's cut w/ raiders pockets. I am so glad I chose the lambskin it is beautiful \:D/ http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q266/davefelker/th_CopyofIndy003.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q266/davefelker/th_Indy002.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q26...

davefelker

Wow, sorry to hear that. I ordered my dark brown LC jacket Nov. 11th and it arrived around Dec. 15th. I can promise that the wait will definitely be worth it once it arrives , good luck to you.

davefelker

Can someone explain to me how the #### your supposed to post photos here, I signed up for imageshack and posted pics of my new lambskin LC jacket but cannot for the life of me figure out how to post them :oops: . I have this great new jacket that I want to show but I'm foiled again every time I try ...

davefelker

Just got my new wested today!!!!!!! I know, I know, pics are coming soon . Anyway I was just curious, I have the dark brown lambskin and I know with it being new it is going to be a little shiny but if I do apply some pecards lotion will that give it even more shine or dull it down a little? I love ...

davefelker

I know maybe I'm just too antsy but I'm curious, once the package arrives in the U.S. it does come USPS right? The reason I'm asking is because I had it shipped to my work address and we have a PO box and I accidentally gave them our physical address so I just want to make sure before I irritate the...

davefelker

Just received my first shipping confirmation yesterday confirming my order has shipped, now before I start counting the hours by how long should I expect it to be in transit upon delivery? I live in Missouri by the way. I'm as giddy as a school girl waiting on this jacket! :lol: Is there any chance ...

davefelker

Thanks guys for all the responses, also special thanks to Scandinavia Jones for the pic of the black jacket. I think I might really look into getting one of the black jackets just for something different, plus nothing wrong with 2 Wested's right? :wink: Just hope my wife will think the same! I'm get...
