Comparing Westeds

My brother came down to visit this week and we started comparing our Raiders style Wested jackets. Jeremy has had his Wested since 1999 or 2000 and I just got mine in September of this year. We were pretty surprised how much difference there was in the jackets. All things being equal but the year of...

I haven't had any time to really have some fun with it but it is just in time for Halloween! It looks great too! While I definitely plan on getting a DM, this is my first whip and am ex...

djd,
I want to do that pretty bad but I have two concerns: how bad does the jacket shrink, if at all, and the weather is starting to cool down and I'm not sure it would totally dry without the possibility of mildewing. What do you think?

Strider, I just saw that pic and had to put it up...God I love those movies. Yeah and as far as my jacket, I put brown Pecards on it as you suggested and yes it definitely makes the jacket look SO much better. I need to take some new pics (without the flash :wink: ) The jacket, in my opinion, looks ...

I can say however, that just in natural light most of the scratches are not visible, the camera flash r...

Thanks Kap, I'm definitely going to do that! As far as some calling it a TOD jacket, which is great because that's my favorite (the first I was old enough to see in the theater, I was 4), I think its kinda funny that I used a LC pic as a general guide: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e188/jagordon...

If I made marks that I didn't like, I found that moistening those marks would darken them a bit-- I didn't know about Pecard's then. Jack, Yeah after I took the pics I noticed that there were some lines that I didn't care for too much, they were more noticeable in the pics with the flash than in pe...

I think some guys are just in a position where they just can't justify spending 300 dollars on a jacket...or just can't get permission to spend that much on a jacket. However, they can justify spending 100 - 150 dollars on a "close enough." Not saying this is the case in this instance. I j...

Wested Sleeve Length

My Wested just arrived last week and it is great but with one problem...the sleeves, for my taste, are a little long. Is it possible to alter the sleeve length through a leather shop or seamstress? I want to get this issue resolved before I start to distress it.

Thanks in advance
