I’ve owned and worn a DP hat for many years, and it’s a decent hat for the money. I don’t feel worried about wearing it in some locations and situations that would have me stapling a more expensive hat to my head. :wink: I can’t deny that in the advertisement they push the “exact hat” business a bit...

I run around all the time in my Wested, brown DP fedora, jeans, and leather shoes (Danners). I really think only the fedora looks a little anachronistic, but I don’t think broad brimmed hats (or leather jackets, for that matter) ever really went out of style. I lived for years in a rural area where ...

I have owned many different clothing items from Cabela’s over the years, including most of their safari style shirts and pants. I’ve been extremely pleased with the quality and fit. Every Cabela's item I have owned has stood up well over time. I also have one lone Willis & Geiger safari shirt th...

When I bought my LC lambskin from Wested back in 2000, I was pretty nervous, too. I did it over the phone, and I hadn’t even placed an overseas phone call before. I have to say that the man who took my call (I wish I could recall his name) was incredibly patient and had a great sense of humor. I won...

My Wested LC lambskin purchased in 2000 is a dark brown that can look almost black at times, in certain types of light. I’ve never used Pecard’s on it (except once for a particularly nasty scratch), and it’s actually lightened a little over the years, but not much. I’d say I’m only up to ten on the ...

Leather in rainy weather

I've worn my Wested LC in pretty heavy weather many times over three years, with no problems. However, as noted, with any leather gear this can happen. I think it speaks to the high quality of the Wested that so few of us have had this occur. I've had it happen a number of times with other leather g...
