I know, late reply, but my boots from Todd's fell apart after a couple months.

John Falcon

Never once....

John Falcon

At one point during the show you can briefly see it has side straps.

John Falcon

Anyone see last week's episode of Tosh.0? They interviewed some Youtube "star" Brian Atene and he seemed to be wearing an Indy Jacket.

John Falcon

Decided to try the unwashed goat.....according to the DHL website it's in Cincinati Ohio already. Woo Hoo. Wonder how much cash the driver will demand for it. I believe they sent me a bill for $22.00 last time.

Custom

John Falcon

Today I checked on the status of the Wested I ordered and found they are out of the washed goatskin.

John Falcon

Thanks everyone! The evenings have been perfect jacket weather since I bought it.

John Falcon

I doubt think I can do the jacket justice with words (as in this thread http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=47616&hilit=us+wings+light+lambskin ), so I'll just post a few photos instead. ;) http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/johnfalcon_84/uswings1a.jpg http://i286.photobucket.c...

I stopped by US Wings Friday. I picked up the lighweight lamb jacket...hoping to post some pics Monday.

Still getting the washed goat Wested tho.

John Falcon

Started to have second thoughts today as I found out the US Wings place is only about an hour from my house. Hmmmm.

John Falcon

(topic was "another Fall, another jacket order")

UPDATED

I ordered a Wested LC washed goat. Then on Friday I stopped to "look" at US Wings in Hudson, OH and walked out with their lightweight lamb jacket. I hope to post photos soon.

John Falcon

I could be wrong but I think it is from the bottom of the collar.

What I did was put "BACK LENGTH 29 PLEASE" in the little special request box when I ordered.

John Falcon

Thanks! I thought it looked cool.

John Falcon

No, just a Colt AR-15A3 with goodies.

John Falcon

That's almost $400.00 in today's dollars. Sheesh.

John Falcon

Ladies look hot in your Indy jacket...found that out.

John Falcon

Hey, gotta break the new jacket in somehow.

John Falcon

I went with the kids trick or treating in 2008, in full gear. After a few blocks in the high 60s weather I wished I had gone as Cairo Indy without the jacket.

John Falcon

For example, I've been setting the thermostat lower at home so I can wear my jacket in the house.

Anyone else do anything like that?

John Falcon

that's fun

John Falcon

29 I believe

John Falcon

Put a coat of Pecards on...didn't wipe it all off so there's white marks here and there. Looking back I should have tried Pecarding everything but the seams and stuff....to make those areas look more worn. idk. Here's some collar photos....and the other back photo I have (pre-pecard)...I took some m...

John Falcon

Won't it just make it look darker, like an unwashed goat or something?

John Falcon

I hadn't seen any write ups yet on what the CS pockets look like compared to the others. I'll look into getting the other photos.

I think my washed goat has a better worn look than the Novapelle....especially after the first few weeks.

John Falcon

The jacket arrived on the 9th.

Fresh out of the bag

Being silly

John Falcon

I'm excited. They shipped it on Wednesday, so I hope to see it next week.

John Falcon

They said it will take 14 days. Boooo

John Falcon

hehe....I'm always afraid they'll get mad and slide my order to the bottom of the pile.

John Falcon

I'm sure they love six e-mails a week.

John Falcon

Worst part now is sitting around wondering if it shipped yet.

John Falcon

I tell myself it's okay because I'm going to wear it. It's not something I'm going to buy and put on a shelf and forget.

John Falcon

I need someone with computer skills to block the Wested web site from my computer, because I can't control myself :-k Last week I ordered my third Indy jacket. (first was a Wested LC lamb that was damaged and then lost by the post office enroute for repair....second was a Wested Raiders washed goat....

John Falcon

Back in October I mailed back my first Indy jackey (a LC lamb) for repair. It apparently never made it to Wested and my Post Office is giving me the runaround on the insurance because, while I have the recepit, I don't have some sticker that they never gave me. Grrrrrrrr......I'm still fighting that...

John Falcon

The stock soles are fun on snow and ice....whhhheeeeeeeeeee!

John Falcon

I'm not thrilled with them dropping it off at a neighbor's because I wasn't home either.

Weird....I think my first jacket came US mail, no bills either.

John Falcon

Just got a bill for $22 something from DHL for shipping. This is for my Radiers jacket, not the damaged LC one that is lost somewher.

Anyone get this? Didn't Wested already charge me for shipping?

John Falcon

She didn't use her nails...she doesn't have any....she tugged and the leather tore. My local post office said the jacket I mailed back is stuck in England, as they claim Wested refused delievery. When I e-mailed the company, they said a package came in on a different date than mine, and that package...

John Falcon

Yeah I had the insurance on it.

I gotta go down tomorrow and throw a fit. I have the receipt but not the copy of the customs form that the post office claims they gave to me. (They didn't)

John Falcon

I had the camera on timer..so I apparently didn't straighten my jacket as I ran to pose.

I miss my lamb (was damaged and then the post office lost it), but that goat is pretty cool. I think I'll get another in March with my extra pay.

John Falcon

My jacket came in on the 29th. DHL dropped it off with a neighbor since I wasn’t home. Luckily the neighbor’s weren’t thieves. Sheesh. UPS/FedEx/Post Office NEVER does that. My first jacket was a LC lamb. This one is a Raiders washed goat. Of course it feels heavier than my last jacket. I like the l...

John Falcon

Yea! It's supposed to ship today.

John Falcon

I thought of typing one up just for the jacket and handing it to her. I don't cair if she wants to knee me in the groin again, just don't hurt my jacket.

John Falcon

After my first Indy jacket, a Wested Last Crusade lamb (which suffered a horrible fate http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29495&p=623379#p623379 ) I today ordered a Wested Raiders washed goat. I’m pretty excited, hopefully I got the measurements right, neither I nor Wested was able ...

John Falcon

Sorry if this was covered before...I coudn't find this in searches. I want to order a washed goat Wested Raiders jacket. I notice they need a back measurement. Does anyone know how to do this? I assume you start at where the jacket collar would be and go down..but down to the waist or down to what y...

John Falcon

Sometimes the military does something right.

John Falcon

Maybe he was just trying to forget about that movie.

John Falcon

As a kid in his single digit years, I recall being annoyed that my Hot Wheels all had to have flames or an oversized logo on them...

....or that my toy airplanes had oversized wheels that retract.

So my point is some kids care about the details and that gun is pretty bad.
