I'm dressing up for a Halloween party at work tomorrow, so I dirtied them up . . .

I just got one of these myself. The first thing I thought when I opened the box was, "I'll have to paint the barrel". I see your point about safety. I don't see myself running around in public with this in the holster. I'll mainly use this for a "full" suit up and that is usually...

great looking boots. have they been re-soled at all ? i only wear my aldens occasionaly but the heels seem to wearing down quite quickly,as i live in the uk i'm not sure how easily i could get them re-heeled. No, they still have the original soles on them. You should be able to get them re-heeled b...

Aldens are built to last - hence the high price.

I bought these at the Alden store in San Francisco nine years ago. The salesman asked me if I wanted them boxed up and I said "No, I'll start breaking them in now". I hiked around the city for three or four hours and was amazed that my feet didn't hurt. I've only used a little Pecards now ...

What a disappointment. After several emails, Wested just let me know that the pants won't ship out until after Halloween. I ordered them almost a month in advance.

Several years ago I put together V1 of my Raiders outfit. At the time, I borrowed a very nice, very expensive whip from a friend. Eventually, he wanted it back and I never got around to buying one of my own. Now, with Halloween around the corner, I've been asked to suit up for a party. With no time ...

My problem now is that I need some for Halloween. I'll probably just order a new pair and trade or sell the other.

Please understand, I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to understand the difference in sizing.

I ordered a pair of Wested's Indy pants in the same size that I buy for jeans - 34. I can't even get them to button! I've read that US clothing companies have been "cheating" sizes to make us fatty Americans feel slimmer. Is that the case here? Judging from how these Indy pants fit, I thin...

I just took a quick look a the sleeves and I can't see a difference in the liner stitching. I'll take a closer look tonight and post a few pics.

Thanks for the replies!

Hi Everyone, I've been lurking here for some time, but I finally purchased my first jacket. I picked an off the shelf Raiders from Wested in lamb. My first choice would probably be HH, but I live in southern cali and I'm afraid that's probably too heavy for the climate. I own a few A-2s in HH and lo...
