It seems quite common for the man on the street to call any hat with a brim a trilby over here.I put it down to un-educated chaves,but maybe its more widespread than I thought.

Indiana Dymond

Now that is a cool bit of kit. I may have to buy one if UK shipping is reasonable.

Indiana Dymond

Perfect. Well done to Todd.A perfect fit:-)

Indiana Dymond

Just got my boots,Pacel Force are so bad.Took over a week to get my customs bill from them!!!! I really couldn't wait for them to be delivered to me so I've just done a 120 mile round trip to get them from there area depot. I'll post again when I've worn them,but they look the busness. Well done to ...

Indiana Dymond

A shoe rapair shop should be able to sand it flat for you.Wouldn't think it would cost too much.

Indiana Dymond

Lucky man,hope the fit is ok.

Still not got my duty bill yet!!!

Indiana Dymond

Hope I get my customs bill on monday,had hoped to have it friday!!

Indiana Dymond

Parcel Farce!!

Indiana Dymond

My tracking info says the post office now has them. They are sending me a nice letter asking me to pay for my property.

The letter will probably be with me tomorrow,I can pay online.Then they should be with me on monday.

Indiana Dymond

Nice work Indiana Bond. As luck would have it midway UK have the blackhawk sight in stock. As my HE2 a s is de-activated I'm just going to cut the barrle down.As I'm skilled metal worker I can do all the work myself.

Indiana Dymond

Boots have cleared customs at 4:04 am today.

Indiana Dymond

Hoping not to get a customs letter.My last order from Todd's came to me with no problems!!

Indiana Dymond

My boots have been tracked to customs in the UK.You'll get no more tracking info after that.

Indiana Dymond

The main point is order YOUR size from Todd and his team will send you boot that fit.No need to try and second guess anything!

Indiana Dymond

irish they are sending me size 9 1/2 (us) boots,just the size marked in the boots and on the box will say size 8 1/2.

as nicktheguy said it looks like the factory has used uk sizes.

Indiana Dymond

I didn't ask so I have no idea. As long as I get boots that aren't too big for I'm happy.

Indiana Dymond

I sent a quick email to Todds today to clear up the sizeing issue as I don't want to have to return anything from the UK. Kirsten told me that they will be sending the boots out to fit the size orderd. i.e. I orderd a size 9 1/2 (us) and they will send me boots marked 8 1/2 as they are running one s...

Hi everyone,not been on the boards much or posted much for some time due to my on going personal problems. I took the plunge the other week and ordered a 10 foot raiders whip in natural tan from Gio,and was very happy to get a email on monday saying he had started my whip. Then today (thursday) I ge...

Indiana Dymond

Well I got around to ordering one on monday.Just got a email to say it shipped today (friday). Hopfully I should get it monday.
Went for dark lamb as I liked it so much with my Wested TOD.

Indiana Dymond

The nylon one looks OK. I'd be interested to know the maker as they are made in the UK.

Indiana Dymond

Wade's correct a orange one will be OK. the trouble will start if you paint it black

Indiana Dymond

[quotethanks for the advice mate.
Seriously thinking about one of these Wested "Heroes" for my jacket[/quote]

You live in the UK and your thinkig about it

Mate you need to go for it if you have the cash,any other jacket will cost you a bundle in tax and import duty

Indiana Dymond

"The water treatment" can range from wiping down with a hot damp rag,to putting a jacket under the shower (sometimes you getting into the shower with the jacket on),and goes right up to putting it in the washing machine. All this is designed to do is take shine off the face of the leather,...

Indiana Dymond

Nice looking jacket Zoltar

What sleeve length did you order?
I know we both got Temple jackets in exactly the same size,so my guess is I'd need the same as you this time

See Peters posts from around half way down.

Also found out more about "crispe" leather.Will be ordering one in the shrunken lamb REAL soon.

Indiana Dymond

So two names for the same thing

.

Would love to get some idea of the scale of the dino hide, bet it would look great if the "scales" are small.

Indiana Dymond

I know "shrunken lamb" has been around for some time and there is a lot said about it in many,many posts.

But what exactly is "crispe" ?

Indiana Dymond

LOVE IT

.

That dark brow lamb is to die for,the red/brown undertones and the NEARLY black colour of the leather make it near pefect IMO.

Got a Wested TOD in it a few months ago,and it just keeps getting better.

Indiana Dymond

Antlers can be easily be darkend with a solution of potassium permanganate. I've done this a few time in the past on Roe Buck Antlers that have not quite rubbed out all there velvet and are still very white. It'll work just fine on the Red Deer antler Linder use for there handle scales. http://www.e...

Indiana Dymond

Whiskyman is right the DARK brown lamb Wested have right now has a red/brown undertone. My guess is that most undertones are a result of the tanning prosses,so the jacket maker really has no control over how the hides turn out. The only way to be 100% sure of what you'll get is to have a sample of t...

Last time I flew(London Gatwick 2008) I had to remove my CAT boots as they set off the metal detector,and that as just the brass eyelets and speed hooks!!! Typical British security they watched me pull my boots back on knowing full well I'd have to take them off for a shoe inspection just 5 yards ar...

Indiana Dymond

7 to 10 working days is what Peter told me,and I got my custom TOD with in a week $\:D/$ .

Things are a LOT quicker at Wested now as they have taken on more machinists.
They have stopped overseas manufacturing of the off the rack jackets and needed more staff.

Indiana Dymond

Good times $\:D/$ !!
I was worried you'd be lumbered with a load. Maybe you need to re-stock now

My buddy Zoltar got a batch of SA pronged buckels from the US a few weeks ago,he still has some.

Wested do a nylon lining in there version of the ToD jacket. I've only had mine a couple of weeks, so I can't realy say much about it,but it looks strong to me. You may be able to get them to do a jacket liner in this material. On a side note the Wested Temple jacke has the bi-swing in the liner,pr...

Indiana Dymond

Was going to give my dark lamb TOD a quick shower to take off the shine,maybe I'll just wipe her down with a hot damp rag

.

Indiana Dymond

I have the dark lamb (love it), Zoltar has just had one in the authentic brown Goat,and Steerpike has had one in the distressed cowhide. All look good so its a hard choice.

Indiana Dymond

No fear of the hand warmer pockets ever coming loose as you can't get a your hands in the things

I went for a extra inside pocket so I'd have room to put things

.

Hey KT what hide is that in your jacket?

Kevin I've updated my post to include the front length (22.5" from bottom of collar stand to hem). Be carefull with the sizing ( I'm sure you will). My chest is bang on 40" (relaxed with loose tape) and I wouldn't want it any tighter,especially with it zipped up. Also according to the West...
