I was going ask them to replace like for like, the original lasted 11 years of daily wear September - May

Long time no post...but came on here to find the answer to this very question :) Being in the UK is sometimes advantageous, in this case I've just spoken to Wested (it may even have been Peter, it's been a while and I'm no good at identifying people by their voices) and a replacement is £30 (plus I'...

Yeesh. The hat could be the least of your worries if you are getting excessive moisture in your house on a regular basis. The problem with mold is that it can spread through your whole house like wildfire. Brushing it off the hat will only spread the spores around. You have to take care of the root...

Been a while since I've been around, work's kept me on my toes the last few years! Anyhow, the same can be said for my gear, it's all been hanging on a hat-stand in the spare room in my house. Since I've been busy with work, I haven't had any visitors, so the spare room kinda stayed spare and unvisi...

I'm not saying that you don't deserve good customer service, but that doesn't mean that the majority of people don't get it - I've ordered 4 times and each time my delivery has been as requested and ahead of their estimated times. It was more your choice of name for them that I took offence at...

And when y' do finally get it, watch out for smashed buttons (that were smashed before it was posted as there were no broken bits in with the packaging) I've emailed 'em I dont know how many times and rang them too, all to no avail. Comment edited by ADMIN. Hey, that's not very nice! Peter and his ...

IndianaBlues

From what I remember (and this is a good 2.5 years ago :roll: ) they order batches when there are sufficient orders to make it worthwhile ordering a batch plus a few extra as stock (that's certainly the process their pants ordering process went)...I suppose you probably just hit them at the worst po...

Sorry for resurecting an old thread, has anyone (probably in the UK) tried using Nikwax Cotton Proof on their MkVII? I picked up a can the other day, but thought I'd check in advance of sticking it through the wash!! I've used other versions of this product before (Polar Proof on a fleece, which wor...

1. To me, the hat in the picture (the one in front of the plane) is indubitably brown. Eye of the beholder and all that, I guess. 2. A brown hat with a blue suit makes perfect sense, just like brown shoes and a brown belt. Well after watching this arguement pop up time and time again over the past ...

I got home last night to find all my clothes neatly folded on the bed...my wife had decided to be efficient and wash/tumble dry them all after our move :cry: Upon closer inspection my Wested pants are now probably 2/3rds the size they once were - any munchkins out there watch the Classifieds section...

IndianaBlues

Hi there, you could try militaria stores/market stalls - I got mine at Portobello road market for £10...an old webley WWI holster

IndianaBlues

Woo my new 10' is being posted tomorrow!!!!

Now i'm going to be sat twiddling my thumbs for the next 5 days waiting for the post!!!

IndianaBlues

Please give me some justification for this, or a way of not unstitching it forever. :) You could remove the strap, dye it brown, add a clasp-buckle and use it as a web belt...then it's still being used (in a cold hearted practical sort of way...that engineer in me keeps trying to get out! :roll: ) ...

IndianaBlues

Canyon, I got my webley holster (thanks for clarifying that guys) from a WWI stall on portobello road market in london last weekend. I'm certain (was before pub time, therefore I know that my memory's ok) that they had a smaller holster than the one I bought, albeit more distressed than the one I bo...

IndianaBlues

Woo, so not far off then! They had two more on the stall, one was in better condition and was £20 (probably about $36), mine was £15....thinking about it the other one they had was an old beaten-up one that I think had a shorter barrel, which I think was £10....hmmmm....might take another trip..... ...

IndianaBlues

Hi guys, saw this in portobello road street market in london last weekend on a WW1 militaria stall and thought it would do the part...I know it probably isn't very accurate, but if anyone knows more about its history I'd be interested to know! http://www.virginstudent.com/fileserver/upload/278/853/2...

IndianaBlues

Second run anyone???

Let me know if there is!

IndianaBlues

Looks good to me - if anything mine's a little too tight...or that could be middle aged spread setting in... :cry: Woohoo! With all the stress of moving I'd totally forgotten where Wested was, I've moved to about 45 mins away, on a good day at least :) (Must resist, must resist - no more gear :roll: )

IndianaBlues

Mike, why is there an embargo? I'm not quite sure. Jerry made it sound as if it were all over the news, but it must just be over there as I've heard nothing about it. It seemed more like it was an airline issue, maybe overcrowding or overbooking? But that's just speculation on my part. Mike If the ...

Okay - here're some URLs for the pics, hopefully they'll work (I'm logged in to that site so i can get the URLs, so it works for me :? ) http://www.virginstudent.co.uk/fileserver/upload/838/818/813/Im006128.jpg http://www.virginstudent.co.uk/fileserver/upload/345/567/210/Im006132.jpg http://www.virg...

Incidentally, the British also use lbs, inches, and miles, and our using them is owed to our shared histories. Oh, I didn't realize that. I had thought they mainly used grams, centimeters, kilometers, and liters, etc...metric system. My bad I guess. In schools now we are taught in metric - cms, met...

I got my authentic goat in TOD as I prefer longer jackets and really wouldn't want it being any shorter - I've got some pics but forgot to bring my camera in to work, will post them tomorrow (I've now got three different messages written on my hands...oh to have a memory!). I've never seen the ROTLA...

IndianaBlues

Hi, sorry first chance I've had to post since I put the pics on. When I first got the jacket my girlfriend commented on how it looked grey-brown (with no prior information on how original goatskin seemed to), but being in England I think it was probably just the clouds reflecting...after a couple of...

Hi there - sorry about the quality of these pics but it started to rain just as i was about to take some outdoor shots.

From what i recall (it was on at xmas but i only caught the latter half) he's in it for a few minutes at the beginning and end (maybe in the middle as well?).

IndianaBlues

I ordered it on 18th...my fiancee left me (

) so i figured what the heck, retail therapy...got the (presumably) standard email reply on the 19th thanking me for my order. Can't wait to get it - only problem was that i had to try and measure myself

IndianaBlues

Anyone else have this problem? I can't take my hat off because my hair just looks plain ridiculous underneath it...kind of an Indy-crown shaped hairdo - look like I've just walked out of the Mad Max set....any ideas on how to cure this so I can occasionally take my hat off?

Where did you get it from? We could always gang together in a muddy field and pretend to be historically re-enacting Time-Team digs and the like...the guns would be for mummys, werewolves, vampires, cybermen and the like...

I think one of the reasons there's been a sudden clamp-down in guns of any kind (whether they fire or not) in the UK was due to last week's figures that stated that in the past year crimes involving guns had gone up 35% over the previous year. That's quite a large figure, and I think it created a go...
