hey guys not been by in awhile. Ig thee are any specific photo requests, let me know. The jacket has been a massive hit. It's picked up all the creases and character that we look for. I'm not looking to open any old wounds, but i do think the lamb Mag uses is the key to the screen look, it has all t...

Stringer

Do have any other pics with you wearing the jacket? It looks a little tight on you from the two pics you have posted. Thanks! V/R, DLJ Not at the moment but i can get more. It is a bit tight on my at the moment, it's not an optical illusion. I'm haviing a healt issue that means i've put on 20lbs, b...

Stringer

about the pockets.... You're both sort of right. I gave my own specs. It was basically that i took a look at the pockets of my wested, and i looked at specus used on here by holt and (one other, i forget, sorry), and then came up with a size that worked and that would also carry the things i like to...

Stringer

hey guys, The pockets were to my measurements, they're measured to be useful to what i use them for, holding my paperback books etc. The pockets on standard Mag would be sized differentey, i'm sure. Wait time....ummmm i'll check my emails... (... does this in real time....) About nine weeks from pai...

They're standard as far as i know. i didnt ask for them, so they must be.

Stringer

If anyones got any requests about pic's, i can do my best.

I want to get across what a good investment a Magnoli jacket is!

Stringer

very good SA level. These are the first pictures I have seen of the Magnoli's raiders after I gave him a few pointers to get his jacket even more SA. By these pictures I can see it payed of. Holt then i have you to thank aswell for such a perfect jacket!!! :clap: Another thing. I know that 'popping...

Stringer

Stringer, can you specify to Mag how much 'distressing' you want on his jackets ?.... Mag's pretty amenable, though i dont know how many 'levels' of dstress are optional. For mine i just asked for it to have the brand new shine taken off it, and i want to wear it in naturally aside from that. You'l...

No pics yet, sorry!!! My Magnoli Raiders came in the mail this morning. I have a lot of half formed things to say about it, and will have a better idea once i've worn it for a couple of days. It's a superbly cut and crafted piece of gear. The lamb is not really thicker than that of my wested, but it...

Stringer

i've said this before, but i really think the lamb gets a bad reputation. my wested lamb is about 8 years old, and has lasted brilliantley. It's got two small rips, that both came from 'extroardinary' situations that were above and beyond normal wear and tear. aside from that, the jacket's been as t...

Stringer

hmmmm.... truck chase has a special place in my heart. As does the idol grab. if there's a scene in raiders that i alwway think of when looking for my perfect jacket, it's one of the shots when he's in the well of souls at night, probably when the camera is looking down on him from above. Don't know...

Stringer

Haven't i read somehwere that one of the jackets was loaned to Planet Hollywood, and never returned? Planet Hollywood had all of its "real" props repossessed when they hit the skids about 2 years out of the starting gate... The real Temple of Doom jacket they had was in their San Francisc...

Stringer

cheers.

It's certainley a great looking jacket you've got, it's one of the ones that's had me tempted (that and the dark goat on another thread), but overall the weight and drape of the usual lamb's is one of my favourite features.

Hmmm. I'll need to think about this one.

Stringer

used to have one of these. It was a tough jacket, and warm too. A good winter version of a raiders, or even more accurate as a winter version of, say, an LC.

But i like the feel and the drape of a lambskin, and the pre-distressed hide was just tough tough and heavy for my tastes.

Stringer

That's one of the stories that's gone around, but if it's anything like the Planet Hollywood I went to in Las Vegas, they had an A-2 Wested (complete with correct B&N tag) from the film "Hanover Street" on display and labeled as being THE jacket worn by Harrison Ford in Raiders of the...

Stringer

question to all of you raiders owners. Whats the thickness on the shrunken lamb like? I love the thickness(or should i say lack of) on my old wested lamb, and after several years it shows much of the same grain and wear that you guys get in your new nowacks. But i'm getting #### tempted by tony's ja...

Stringer

i'd like a moment of random (almost certainley) wrong speculation. havent i read somehwere that one of the jackets was loaned to Planet Hollywood, and never returned? Doesn't Mr Nowack have delaings with people involved in planet hollywood? And if so, wouldnt they like to keep it quiet that the jack...

Stringer

Cheers G and very good point Mcfly

Stringer

On westeds site it states that parts of the ToD jacket are glued rather than stitched. For those of you that've got one, which
parts are glued, and how to they last?

cheers.

Stringer

Hi folks got a quick question and with wested being swamped its often quicker to ask here. I know that the amount of chest room on a wested varies from cut to cut, if i'm correct it's two inches in a TOD or 80's cut, and four in a standard cut? do we know if there's a definitive amount of room they ...

Stringer

cheers, good to know.

Stringer

Hey folks

This might be a dumb question, but its years since ive ordered goods from abroad other than a book or album. If anyone else out there has ordered a magnoli mag to the uk, does customs stop it and add fee's?

Stringer

all of my westeds have wrinkled up, and two of them were lamb

Stringer

this isnt really going to help you decide, but bear a few things in mind when you think a brand new jacket is too big/baggy. The sleeves effectivley shorten by an inch as the creases set in over the first few months. The shoulders soften and drape to your frame as the leather molds to you, and the j...

Stringer

perfect size for iphones

......

Stringer

that looks great! Perfect cross between accuracy and practical.

Stringer

My lambskin is seven years old. (there are pics around here somewhere on one of the threads) and i've treated it for the first time recently. I wouldn't recomend that approach because, while the jacket is tough and has lasted well, it's swallowing up the pecards like water. But, at seven years old i...

Stringer

hmmm...this might change my choice for my new jacket.

curse you Holt

I just want to second whats been said about ordering a bit bigger. Regardless of which make you go for, and OTR or custom, err a little on the side of caution. This isn't saying you're going to expand you waistline or anything like that. My jacket fit me perfectley when i was 21. Im 28 this motnh an...

Stringer

Mcfly, thanks for the assist! Doug, thanks. I love it too. It really is the perfect jacket, it's just a shame i've let it down my getting older;) For the debate about durabillity of a Wested....I've not owned any of the other makes, so i can't compare. All i can say is that this jacket has lasted re...

Stringer

ah, okay, that didnt work. If someone can tell an eejit how to fix it, i'll get that sorted

in the meantime, you can follow those links if you want to see the jacket.

First time posting images, this could go horribly wrong... Here's my seven year old Lamb. Sorry about the strange choice of shots, but i was recording the wear and tear before a coat of pecards. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45983869@N00/2666035064/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/45983869@N00/26652132...

Stringer

call me excited.....

Stringer

I wear a seven year old wested lamb. It's had a pretty hard time of it, i've never protected it and this month its had its first ever pecards. If you want to see how a wested lamb hold up before making up your mind, i can emal pics to you.

thanks for the replies. If i get a pattern i'll pass it along.

Hi,
I was thinking of making my own MKVII style bag, scaled up a couple of inches for my Laptop. Does anyone have patterns for a standard MKVII?

BTW: it is really hot in England; so I am gutted as I have not been able to wear my jacket yet. I WANT IT TO RAIN AND BE COLD. The bennefit of moving to Glasgow. Even on the hot days, it wants to rain and be cold ;) Not such an advantage in winter (re:most of the year) when i get wetter than Indy a...

Stringer

exactley what i needed, thanks!

Stringer

Sounds amazing, glad you had a good time.

I never seem to make it out to Wested on my trips down south, it's allways that little too far for someone who doesnt drive.

Stringer

hmmm, the censoring on the site is a bit stricter than i remembered. Please dont think i used one of those four letter words

Stringer

My quest to size up my next jacket is almost done. I'm still not getting any responses from wested, #### those crystal skulls ;) I'm pretty settled thanks to helpful guys on here, that i'll be wanting a 42-80's in the body of the jacket. My only worry is the arms. My upper arms might be a problem. M...

Stringer

I thought cotton lining was more durable than satin? Well its always going to come down to personal preference, and to how/where/why you wear your jackets. For me, cotton linings on my coats or jackets never last long. They show dirt quicker, they catch on things, and they seem to tear more easily....

Stringer

I saw that Wested was mentioned, but was that last one, "the charm" a Wested?? and what kind of hide?? Thanks Bowie It was indeed. Lamb in brown. I've been measuring it up recently to help figure what i need to ask for when i order a new one. I'm sure i had custom measurments done at the ...

I haven't ordered an 80's cut Wested because I believe Platon's comments about the decreased length, and couldn't predict how much this would shorten the jacket. I didn't want to provide my measurements only to find that the 80's cut construction made it shorter. I think SA cut is largely a functio...

Stringer

Here's my belief. I'm a new member but a long time lurker. I've never owned an 80's cut, so anyone out there feel free to cut me to shreds :) I beleive theres one central problem in the search for the 'real' indy cut. The jacket was made for Harrison ford, a generation ago. The cut of the jacket was...

Stringer

(edited because im a dyslexic fool) I've worn my jacket as my everyday jacket for several years. Everyone who knows me, expects to see me in it. Friends who don't know its 'origin' tell me its a great jacket and my second skin. Friends who do know the 'origin' tell me i've had a better relationship ...

thanks guys.

this has made my decision.....so much more interesting
