I have three Jackets from Wested. One was custom, the others standard sizes. I only ever had one service issuse that was dealt with very quickly. Otherwise all good. They recently relined my custom 10 year old HH LC with moleskin and did a great job. I am a happy customer but then I did not bombard ...

3 plus a beater. all Westeds. 2007 LC in horsehide-Custom made and recently relined, at the barn, with moleskin for the winter. Great hide. 2012 A hero in soft goat. Around 3 years old now and breaking in nicely. 3 season jacket 2008- An OTR raiders in lamb- the version without facings and more like...

You guys are going to love the way Wested goat breaks in and gains grain. It takes a few years to get there but it is worth it. A spell in the shower with some pecards once the jacket has dried kickstarts the process.. otherwise plently of daily wear.

IndyBrit

I have just had my AB reblocked by Marc and Stefan on the CS block. Outstanding work but do contact them first.

IndyBrit

I have a hero jacket and a ROLA so called 80s cut which was an OTR purchase some years back. ( Wested no longer make the latter). The main difference is the off the shoulder look and effect.

IndyBrit

A Wested Hero in soft goat, with my trusty HH Wested LC waiting for the colder days.

IndyBrit

my wested hero in soft goat. It has the look and is tough. Breaking in nice and slow

I am another old one who watched Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea first time round. As a boy growing up in England this show along with Thunderbirds, Stringray and Dr Who where required vieving. An yes...great jacket. Shunken lamb I assume?

IndyBrit

Hi Zoltar, As Brit living in Poland I am interersted in this service too. Do keep us all posted. I am sure there are others on this forum in Europe with a pair of Aldens who at some staqe will need to have these restored. I showed mine to a good cobbler when I was back in the UK. He said " Very...

A welcome insight to the world of fedora craftmanship. Thank you

IndyBrit

I think KTs pictures tell the story. I did go to the store and can confirm that it is a well made piece of kit. The zipped top would be useful. I might take the plunge as I have to be back in the same town in a couple of days

IndyBrit

I will in in the UK tomorrow for a few days- they have a shop near to where I will be, so I'll pop in on Saturday, see if they have one and report back.

IndyBrit

with you on this. I have had a few jackets from Wested but the Hero hits the mark

There's no worse feeling on earth than a gearhead being denied his fix! I heard that! It's horrible! I know that your just jonesing for those boots. Felt the same way when I made an order for a Wested Hero and later made a surreal drive up Wested Lane to pick it up in person. Fortunately Peter brou...

I agree with others. It takes time to get used to wearing a tall crown fedora. The hat looks great on you and simply needs a bit of tinkering on the brim. Wear it with pride. Don't get put off by she who must be obeyed. Mine sniggered at me for a whole month. My original reason for getting into this...

IndyBrit

Got the bag. Un-issused and as new. No signs of dry rot. They have a good stock.

IndyBrit

Up on the site. For those with deep pockets. Looks good

opps,

just noticed that this vendor is already listed on the main site so nothing new here. That said I will post when mine arrives

IndyBrit

Tomek.. are you in Warsaw now?

IndyBrit

Dear all, I came across this military surplus supllier in the UK. They have a good stock of unissused Mark VII bags, which they comfirmed by e-mail. I have ordered one and will report back once it arrives. The price is in line with what these are going for on flea bay and close to the WPG offer. Thi...

IndyBrit

Stunning. :clap: :tup: For the money the Wested Hero still looks like good value for money. I have one in soft goat and it captures the Raiders look including the Ravens bar scence. ;) That said this post got the jacket addict shake going. If I had the funds I would be online now. The hide looks gre...

IndyBrit

I have a hero in this hide. Wonderful stuff. Tough but drapes well. It will only get better with time. enjoy

IndyBrit

I have a hero in the new soft goat. It's light but tough so that could be the way to go

Great fit. I have a wested in this hide, trust me it will get better and better over time. Cool gift from your grandparents

IndyBrit

Looking good!

I live in Poland and would go for the Henry. It is worth it at around 180 Euro. If you need a jacket size 42 PM me As I have 2 westeds for sale! I live in Warsaw

Same here.. but I did ask

IndyBrit

Got it. In the new soft goat. Pics when I return to Poland. By the way I tried on the new Magneto Harrington. It is a stunner. Peter is probably going for numeric size.

IndyBrit

First, I want to say that I love my hero jacket, but did anyone else get theirs with a typical Wested label and not the Leather Concessionaires label? This is no big deal for me. I was just curious if anyone else had experienced this. jlhampton So you got yours with the Wested Label? That's a bit odd

IndyBrit

Anyone seen this

I am at the barn next weekend and hope to eyeball one of these $\:D/$

IndyBrit

I disagree with the observation on age and the raiders jacket. It depends on if you have kept yourself in shape, especially around the core. An older man can wear a raiders style jacket if he is still lean. I think the CS jacket could have been cut a bit trimmer for Ford and he would have looked fi...

IndyBrit

Aldens now out of mouth. I have seen your recent pictures and would not pick a bar fight with a man your size, but then I'm not Indy

An older man can wear a raiders style jacket if he is still lean. I think the CS jacket could have been cut a bit trimmer for Ford and he would have looked fine.

[quote="hovitos loincloth"][quote="nihil"]Have anyone gotten the 'Seal brown soft goat 'new'' ?

I am going for this but pick up is not until end of August at the barn, stay tuned

IndyBrit

Looks like the tread is drifting back into snipes at Wested again. Is it possible to stay on the matter at hand?

IndyBrit

look at the gear care section. lots of information

IndyBrit

I had the same issues but now resolved by using the info@adveturebilt.com address. Stefan got back to me in a couple of days

IndyBrit

The trousers arrived today. Prefect in everyway-fabric, cut, finish, size. Any of you sitting on the fence on these don't, they are just wonderful. Thank you Todd's Costumes. On size they were true to size. I ordered 34 x33 as that is my size and that is what I got. I think this is real service from...

Stefan has been in touch, thanks for the suggestions guys

Thanks Gents. I will try the info e-mail as suggested

That gives me visions of Yul Brunner in full black gun slinger mode coming out of the barn

Bugger. I wonder if KT would do the honours here? He is close by and a regular around here. I had the pleasure to met him on one visit to the barn.

Just a thought.

IndyBrit

The finished product is good. I have seen the prototype earlier this year. I suggest the Wested bashers hold fire until we have seen a few of these.
