I absolutley love the color of the skin. But I agree. It looks too thin and grainy. Nice jacket overall.

Nope. It's a good match for the LC. It's as thin as what Wested usually offers, and not very grainy at all. Peter sourced it out well.

St. Dumas

Thank you Peter for your contributions to cinematic history, and for making your iconic jacket available to us fans. You will be missed.

St. Dumas

Thanks, Dan.

St. Dumas

Hey, Dan. How tall was the collar stand and how wide was the storm flap on the Smithsonian?

St. Dumas

Wested's e-mail this week said the LC Hero is scheduled for late March.

St. Dumas

Nice jacket. KT, I believe you now have a distressed and an undistressed lambstouch. Is there much of a difference? Would the distressed make a good LC jacket?

St. Dumas

Wested custom:

St. Dumas

I like the placement of the collar stand on the storm flap. And good work on your collar stand spec, KT.

St. Dumas

That collar is masterful.

St. Dumas

That collar is masterful.

St. Dumas

Fantastic looking jacket, Zoltar.

St. Dumas

Hey, KT. I really like the look of that soft seal cowhide. Did you make any special requests on your jacket?

SD

St. Dumas

That's a sad story. If you ordered a jacket from the pizza guy he could have at least given you the second one free.

St. Dumas

Wested's measurements page (I think it is gone now) listed the back length for the 38L as 25.75". The 38R back length is 24.00".

St. Dumas

Has anyone asked Peter recently if he's expecting to get the shrunken lamb back in stock?

SD

St. Dumas

That it is based on the same custom manufactured jacket Lee Keppler ordered from Flightsuits using specs based on what he saw in Raiders (plus the storm flap snaps), which Lucasfilm then purchased through Lee's ad and placed in its archives, which was then sent to Peter to turn into the LC jacket an...

St. Dumas

Maybe consider just asking them to forget about the repairs and ship it back to you un-repaired at their expense. My concern would be that they suddenly close up shop, customer orders and all. You'd only be out your original shipment cost.

St. Dumas

Dresden, I posted the specs I ordered from Wested on this thread:

St. Dumas

Cool jacket. (But I'm hoping that if there's an Indy 5, the boy's not in it.)

St. Dumas

That's a good job on the distressing, Holt.

St. Dumas

I believe that would be a licensing violation. The official prop-maker has exclusive legal right to make and sell that prop.

St. Dumas

I wasn't correcting you, _. Just setting out the current copyright law as it relates to fashion designs. There are designers pushing for it.

St. Dumas

Although the written description of a process can be the subject of copyright in the US, the jacket made from that process is not protected by the copyright. A copyright can be registered for the expression of a system or a method of operation, but the copyright only extends to the expression of it,...

St. Dumas

Of course, that is because Logan, like St. Dumas, is a Canadian. No doubt he would have insisted on the left-hand zips.

St. Dumas

_, hope the surgery's a complete success. Which is your favourite Wolverine jacket?

St. Dumas

Yeah, let's see your Nowak, _. All of the Nowak jackets we've seen on this site have been brand spankin' new.

St. Dumas

No, they were like the TOD jacket:

St. Dumas

That is no LC flap.

St. Dumas

Thanks for posting that, _. What a great looking leather; and I can see why you like that design. You ever consider getting an X-Men 3 Wolverine?

St. Dumas

Nice to see Eli Roth finding another WWII-era flick so soon after Inglourious Basterds.

St. Dumas

That's a great lambskin. And a good USW LC design. Glad you posted those.

SD

St. Dumas

As for the size 43, Wested doesn't offer a standard 43, only a 42 and a 44, which means that if that if they made a custom that was essentially a 43 they probably don't even have a "43" tag. So yours might be a 43 if the measurements are a 43, but they tagged it with the closest thing they...

St. Dumas

Ford's shoulder seams on the Raiders jacket always drooped over. Check out the pics.

SD

St. Dumas

Too bad he didn't christen it "Orca". Missed opportunity.

St. Dumas

I bought the old style LC in the pre-distressed cowhide on the basis of the photo of _'s jacket that used to be on the main site. I'm a huge fan of that leather. It's twice as light in colour and in weight than the novapelle and way lighter in colour than any of Wested's other offerings. I am extrem...

St. Dumas

Good choice on the leather.

St. Dumas

A piped pocket flap is the last thing I'd be willing to argue over.

St. Dumas

Could very well be, CM.

St. Dumas

Good pic, and that's probably the one used in half those shots. That said, I still think the piping is thicker than the top photo in the first post. I don't think that distressing of a 2 mm seam would make it look that thick.

St. Dumas

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u257/obiwanbunjee/LCPocket2.jpg The piping stands out in some scenes. Bear in mind there was more than a single film jacket, and there are some shots where piping does not appear visible. That's either because there was no piping on that particular jacket, or it j...

St. Dumas

I'm only referring to the horizontal stitch at the top of the flap. The piping in those LC photos appear to be about as thick as Wested's current offerings. Take a look at those LC photos again. The piping at the top of the flap us nowhere near as pencil-thin that Wested's year 2000 era pockets had,...

St. Dumas

There was indeed piping on the LC pockets: http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php?ImageUrl=http://www.theraider.net/films/crusade/gallery/makingof/mo_03.jpg http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php?ImageUrl=http://www.theraider.net/films/crusade/gallery/screens/c19.jpg http://www.theraider.net/showima...

St. Dumas

Isn't Ribby Merino one of the greasers from Happy Days?

St. Dumas

IR, check out my mid-December thread. Those pockets are 7" x 8", based on an enlargement from screengrabs, so the proportion is exact. I sent Peter a template and he incorporated it precisely. If you wear a size 42 or 44 and want that pocket, PM me and I'd be happy to e-mail you the templa...

St. Dumas

Here's one.

St. Dumas

The seams line up on my 10 year-old Wested Raiders and on my 3 year-old Wested CS prototype. Quite common with Westeds.

St. Dumas

Cool jacket, KT. I like how the ribbing is only on parts of the jacket. Did Peter say when he thinks he'll put that jacket on the market?

St. Dumas

Whipwarrior, I'd be a complete novice at distressing. Although I wasn't planning on distressing the jacket, if I change my mind, I'm sending it to you. I've seen your work.

SD

St. Dumas

Turnaround for this jacket was 19 days from UK to Canada.

St. Dumas

Kt, it was your jacket and Tremolo's that convinced me to order one. I appreciate you guys posting those photos.
