I thought Steve wasn't taking any orders? I'm not sure what's going on either. I think I placed my order in Nov. We got the measurements and specifics down but I've been trying to confirm how much to send and I haven't been able to reach Steve. You are not placed on the list until you have paid, so...

I have the cotton lining with the satin sleeves and it's worked out well so far. I like the feel. However, I've only had my jacket about a month and a half so I can't comment on durability.

I'm not sure if I'm trying to identify with Indy or not. I love the character. He is my favorite hero. I certainly wouldn't mind being thought of by others in the same way. However, it's more important to me to establish my own style. My gear is not particularly SA. I modified the pockets and lining...

Update: I ordered my custom Wested on October 16 and received it on Nov. 10.

And for the record it's beautiful and I'm very pleased. I've been doing some mild distressing on it (sorry Michaelson) so I'll try to post some pics when it's ready.

Interesting thread! I wanted to add a couple of points. First of all, Bufflehead Jones' point is right on. The standard for when police officers are allowed to use their guns against an attacker is 10 yards. In every internal investigation I've ever heard of an officer shooting a charging suspect wi...

I just emailed Steve with this very question for my own hat order. (BTW did you get my email?). I included a couple of pictures so Steve could see my face. The truth is I'm not sure what my face shape is. And I don't know whether my face is fuller or not. I guess it comes down to having sufficient r...

My order does feel like an odd leap of faith. Because of our respective locations (Kent and Nevada) I had to make a very early in the morning call (my time) to get a phone order in during their hours. I spoke to a girl who was clearly ready to go home and not particularly happy to hear from me. I p...

I placed my custom order on October 16th (by phone). I did see that my credit card was charged so I believe my order is moving forward. Will I receive any kind of confirmation when my jacket is finished or shipped? Or will the jacket just arrive sometime after the 21 days I was told it would take t...

I'll try to post some before and after pics for everyone. As for the distressing, I plan to wrinkle and throw it in the dryer (no heat) with some tennis balls. I'll probably do the soaking in cold water followed by hang drying. I don't know if I'm willing to try the sandpaper. I might do the rubbing...

newbi here and I just ordered my first real Indy jacket!

I just found this site a few days ago but I've been an Indy fan forever. (wow that sounded like "first time caller, longtime listener") Anyway on 10/15 I ordered a custom Wested Raider's style jacket in the 80's cut. I went with the authentic lamb. I plan to distress it so I'll be studying...
