I wouldn't shoot it

I'd be worried that the powder has deteriorated to the point that it acts like a squib load, where there's enough to propel it out of the casing but lodges partway down the barrel. Then trying to shoot it out will only damage the barrel and possibly you as well.

I think they try hard...

but sometimes are overwhelmed. standard sizes may not have issues, but special orders may be a little harder.

it's way past the 30 days, as it took about 6 weeks just to receive the jacket to begin with.

The disappointment continues....

I returned the jacket a few days after receiving it because it didn't fit. A few weeks later I sent Wested an email to confirm that they had received it. After not receiving a reply email I sent a follow up email asking again if it had been received. I did get a response to that email saying that th...

Yes it will be a bit of a thing having to mail it back, but I went over the jacket and it looks great. the quality is good, It's just a sizing issue. I had my oldest son try it on and if it would fit him (he's much thinner than dad) I'd keep it and give it to him, it looks that good. I already recei...

You know, I ordered a black XXL and had some problems. The jacket is tight on me when buttoned, but the Doctor wore it open anyway, I suppose. I ordered mine off the rack too, Once I lose my gut a bit it will fit better. BTW, based on my experience English sizes are not cut for us portly Americans....

Wested - Doctor Who / Das Boot

Well I received my jacket this afternoon three weeks after ordering it and was I excited. Unfortunately I have to send it back. The quality appears good but it just doesn't fit. I'm a little surprised as I called and gave specific sizing information. It does look a little browner and lighter than th...

Re: I got my Dr. Who/Das Boot jacket!!!

WOW!!! what an amazing jacket. if any of you are looking for a 2nd adventure jacket, this is the one. the predistressed hide is simply beautiful. it feels as soft as my lambskin TOD jacket. this Dr Who/Das Boot jacket, in predistressed hide, looks 100 years old but still retains the look of a jacke...

Dan, if you can't talk him in to carrying a 1911 as primary and a .38 snubby in his pocket a back up your a failure as a father. :wink: just kidding! I have to give the devil his due in that the plastic guns do work. I just don't care for them though. They lack the "soul" of the classics ...
