Has anyone heard from Marc lately? I've been trying to reach him for about 2 years now. He's a wonderful hatter and an even better guy :TOH: , I've been lucky enough to have 2 hats made by him :notworthy: . One of them severely needs a reblock, so Marc or Stefan if you see this please email me or PM...

Hey Tony! Welcome to COW! Glad you could make it in. Thanks very much for the work you're doing on my son's jacket, and my wife absolutely loves hers. Needless to say, I have mine on all the time, especially while cruising up here in Alaska. Thanks for being patient with all our kids on our visits t...

Count me in for a Medium. I ordered back in early March. I'm completely surprised there are so few orders.

I thought I had to rush just to get one of the 100 that would be made.

I just got my Raiders jacket in dark goat as well about a week ago. I went down to Tony's shop 3 days ago and just talked jackets and movies for about 2 hours. Really a great guy. I'm really happy with the jacket. From what Tony told me, he had a very limited amount of that dark goatskin, and he's w...

Yes, as Mitch pointed out, I received my Penman hats as well. These hats are simply amazing and I can't tell you how pleased I am with them. The felt is amazing, the bash is wonderful and the fit was as if John held the tape measure himself. I got a Raiders brown and Raiders seaplane. Guilty confess...

G&B makes a great jacket. I have a Goat and a Lamb, and both are extremely well made. However, their website isn't quite accurate on some of the pricing. I spoke to Travis about ordering a Goat Expedition in Black, and was informed that the color black was considered a "custom" color a...

I guess I will have to call to order. I tried sending him an email, but he must be really busy. Congrats on your jacket. Hopefully I'll be joining you in line for one of the 777 jackets.

Hey Marc, Gladly. I would be more than happy to tell everyone about your wonderful hats, and the care and craftsmanship you incorporate. What is the best format to use? Should I send you email, send a MS Word attachment, post here in COW? I checked your site, but it appears the old site is still up,...

I have a large (which is currently getting the sleeves taken up 1 inch) and my wife should receive her Medium next week (an exchange for a Large which was too big).

Agreed....Sgt. Hack and his crew are certainly first rate.

I purchased an off the rack lambskin in a size 42R. It fit just like my 42R suit coat.

I wasn't aware that Wested sold jackets in "S, M, L, XL" designations, but I'm pretty new to COW and all the vendors...

That's a great question, as I've been pondering the same thing. I've also seen threads about removing the batting from US Wings jackets. Do the Expeditions not have battings or is there less to remove? I'm very curious about this comparison as well, especially now that G&B doesn't offer the Expe...

Rixter,

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. I've requested a catalog from G&B, so hopefully that will come soon. They're also sending a couple of leather swatches so I can see the difference between the goatskin and lamb. I heard the lamb is a little darker than the goat.

Wow...that's a beautiful jacket! Have you noticed that it's larger or smaller than a regular 42R, or is it a standard fit 42R.

I have a Todd's Lamb on order in a 42R, but after seeing pics of your jacket, maybe I should have gotten the cowhide.

First time "poster" long time lurker here..... Sorry to hear the jacket didn't fit, and good luck with the 44R. I'm ordering an Expedition in 42R, but they said they were out of stock at the moment. Who knows, I might end up with your returned jacket! :P When I spoke to Nancy at G&B, s...
