great looking pants but the cost of shipping and duty doubles the cost of these the UK at least.

Its a shame we cant them in the UK as id buy some.

MK

id be interested in how this thread goes as i have a wested lamb and it looks brand flippin new!

i must admit that a great looking jacket although more of a winter garment than summer. Ive just taken a look on the Wested website and peter has certainly expanded his range of film jackets! He has alsorts on there and all at a very good price. I may be tempted by the war of the worlds leather as i...

mrkaboom

great find and good fortune there fella!

P.S any more left

best regards!

MK

mrkaboom

good choice my friend - you cant go wrong with a Wested in my opinion.

MK

mrkaboom

ha ha what a gallah and what a video!

that was wicked adam put a smile on my face!

Mk

mrkaboom

wested washed goat all day long for me. top jacket at a great price and no import duty - yay!
Also this is where it all started in terms of raiders jackets so there is some history there too.

Only my opinion of course as i also have the wolverine from wested which is excellent!

Mk

mrkaboom

ive never had any comments good or bad. may be the wear i guess.

mk

mrkaboom

being based in the UK its Wested all day long for me. have 2 x jackets by them - a wolverine and a raiders and both jackets are 10/10. i wouldnt go anywhere else for a leather except maybe Nowaks. problem with buying from the states is the duty you pay which makes them not worth it.

MK

mrkaboom

great pics! the 3rd one is my favourite where you are legging it.

P.S is that the grail diary in your pants or were you just pleased to see someone lol

Enjoy!

I have the wolverine leather from X3 and its absolutely spot on - great for wearing out on most occasions and most folk have not got a clue that its a wolvernine - it looks and feels great and is made of the novapelle which is superb.

MK

mrkaboom

hey Tundra I'm in the same boat as you. been using the gym regular since the age of 14 and still get there 2-3 times a week! When i was younger i could eat and eat and eat - these days its a case of discipline and denial ha ha! Anyways keep up the good work with the cold steel as you look well on it...

mrkaboom

A good looking shirt - you also look in great shape!

MK

mrkaboom

yeah im not sure about them Texan as they tend to give the flying squirrel look

MK

Hi indiana Holt For what its worth I have had nothing but excellent experiences with Wested and i would not hesitate to order another jacket with them. To date i have a custom raiders jacket and a wolverine x men 3 which in my opinion kills the raiders jacket for looks all day long. however if it he...

I personally feel that we in the UK are lucky to have Wested on our shores as they are excellent value for money. the first time i went i went with the intention of buying an indy jacket and i walked away with the wolverine as its great. second time i tried on a few jackets found the style i liked a...

mrkaboom

hey there i see you are in Cheshire so a bit far from Swanley to pop in. That said i work in the south occasionally and was able to get to Wested for a look. My strong recommendation would be that if you can get to Wested for a persoanl fitting/measurement there you will not go wrong as there bespok...

mrkaboom

Try NEXT tennessee - i was there recently and saw some boots in there that could definitely be used as Indy boots and they were about £50.

Well worth it and wearable with a pair of jeans also when you are'nt in the 'gear'

Hope you find what you seek my friend

MK

mrkaboom

ill have a good gander at that picture when i get home and task me ma with getting my pants sorted as mine are baggy at the waist and i reckon what your sis has done is spot on.

MK

IF there was going to be another movie surely things are still a little early to be selecting suppliers for hats etc. Afterall pre production would need to be well under way before Bernie Pollack selects his desired vendor. For me if he was happy with AB's and Tonys work from the 4th it makes sense ...

mrkaboom

welcome to the craziness that is COW - when the hat comes your outfit will really kick in.

Enjoy

You whip you should be eating more curry and drinking more lager man and taking pictures of girls in their pants! Only kidding - top find and thanks for sharing MK It was either that or "Strictly Come Dancing"!!! ](*,) JTW. I hear you there Jones and at the time of writing i believe the X...

mrkaboom

IMO The Wested shirt is nothing like the shirt in any of the movies, the only similarity is the colour and vague design. Everything else is fairly generic. Dont get me wrong I like the Wested shirt (it doesnt need ironing) buts its definitely not SA. Ive heard good things about Adventurebilts shirt ...

mrkaboom

Hi gang, one or two pics of these trousers have been seen on another thread but I thought i'd post some further details and information on them. As some of you know, i'm a big Magnoli fan but I just thought i'd try this UK based tailoring service. A list of specs were sent to "Winebergs" ...

mrkaboom

Awesome! its great to see a fellow englishman donning the fedora and leather! Great looking gear man - i love the look of the jacket. any chance of a gear list?

Ha ha Smith I purposefully didnt put any mention of pictures in there as I know one of you lot would chime in with that old chestnut!

I have taken some and will take some more this weekend and will post next week.

I've been a member of COW for around a year now and like many have succumbed to the Indy gear covered in detail in this forum. I have an AB from Steve Delk, shirt from Noel Howard, MK VII bag with strap, pants from Wested and boots from Timberland. The only major thing missing for me was the jacket ...

mrkaboom

Yes i saw that and was a little surprised/excited before i saw the size XXL!
Im an L at best in Noel Howard and decided to give it a wide birth

MK

mrkaboom

During the course of the movies other characters have alluded to Indy military past - Sollah in raiders for instance - in the bar. The jacket maybe something indy had in the forces and kept on when he left. After all it is a pilot style jacket.

Just thinking out loud here

post pictures of your new wested

Thanks Holt - the Wested was a little too large for me so ive sent it back and hope to have the replacement in a week or two. Their customer service has been 1st class btw.

MK

mrkaboom

Dont worry ill not be leaving my hat in the car. Im just going to wear it more often and that should do it - its not too big just a little.

For the record what is the lamp shade trick?

MK

mrkaboom

Guys I dont know if you noticed but i live in the wettest part of the UK so shrinkage using the sun isn't going to work I'm afraid! Great advice though nonetheless. my intention is to wear it and i hope that will sort it, if not the padding/leather belt around the band sounds like a good way to go. ...

mrkaboom

Thats the MAJOR problem when you buy mail order, firstly the interpretation of what you think your size is as many of us including me have ordered jackets stating our size and the item has been dispatched back matching your exact dimensions but not fitting. In my case with a recent Wested purchase t...

mrkaboom

if only i could i would !

MK

mrkaboom

Thanks for your advice everyone, Ill wear it out on hikes as often as i can and get that central heating cranked up and sweat in my duds and hat watching raiders lol

Thanks again

MK

mrkaboom

i love to hear and see real life use of the AB. I hope to wear mine on a trip to Italy next year

Watch this space!

MK

mrkaboom

Hi can anyone help? I purchased an AB fedora earlier this year from Steve and love it. However, it is ever so slightly too big for me. I wore it out yesterday for a walk and a slight gust of wind blew it off my head! Now I must tell you that i have a completely bald shaved head. Is there any way at ...

mrkaboom

That doc sounds like an indy fan screaming to get out of the closet! I love it when i hear stories like this and the person isnt a tosser about it. Ive only worn my AB Fed and indy shirt once on a hike and didnt get too much stick (well the sheep cant talk) but wonder if i would get any kind commnet...

MK

mrkaboom

Azuma I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but i was one of the first to buy your shirt and overall i am happy with it. The fit is great and i like the material used and the overall look of the shirt. My only critisism is the finishing on the button holes as the buttons have an annying tendency t...

Tell you what Tundraraider, you are amassing a fine top notch ensemble of Indy Gear there! I Think Harrison would be envious of some of it!

Going off topic ever so slightly and in agreement with Knibs when Ford turns to the camera and says RUSSIANS! it made me get shivers. 20 years away and HE'S back! He has aged extremely well and can definitley pull off a final filmif they do it in the next 2 years which is what is rumoured. Sorry no ...

mrkaboom

Michael your jacket looks superb and you are in great shape for a chap of 50.

Congratulations on your jacket - i have seen the pics of you and your fiancee in her marion outfit - brilliant!

Enjoy your birthday and wear that jacket as often as you can!

MK

Tell you something fellas im on the cusp of ordering a jacket and am seriously torn between Wested and TN. Wested is in the UK so i am able to go there and get fiited and make sure that i get the leather i like and some of the specs and its cheaper but the more i hear abot TN the more i want to orde...

Thanks Mrkaboom, it's still hot in Houston, but it's FREEZING in my training class, so I'm wearing it daily. I just for my Pecard's Leather Dressing, but I'm not sure if I should apply a coat, or wait and let the jacket break in some more first. I've seen contradictory opinions on this. I will say ...
