I saw a pic of Harrison a few years ago, trap shooting with Speilberg, he was wearing his Aldens then too. He just really likes them

Farn is right, I spoke to Peter already and you get free shipping if you buy the trio

"My" boots, with the rubber heels are definaltly from old stock. "Indy's" boots were bought from another board member more recently. They are from the newer stock and the leather is less red. I would say they are about 5 months old. Hope this helps.

I have been wondering this for a while. My personal Aldens have an all rubber heel. The Aldens being worn by my full size Indy have a totally different heel. They look much nicer in my opinion. Here's a comparison pic: <img src=http://home.golden.net/~ultimate/bootheel.JPG><br> <img src=http://home....

Indiana Janice

WOW! That looks great!

Janice

Indiana Janice

I feel so honored to get the FIRST jacket from Wested with elastics $\:D/$
They do work well and have stood the test of time. I do say make them optional though. Maybe use them standard on the softer leathers

Just my .02

And Peter, thanks for asking us all. You rock!

Janice

Indiana Janice

Whoo Hoo! You rock Peter!
Janice

Indiana Janice

Just a heads up. I tried ordering these over a year ago and had nothing but problems. I ended up buying Aldens

Janice

Indiana Janice

This fantastic news! Great to hear Peter. Thanks!

Janice

Indiana Janice

I was hoping to get some, but not at those prices

Janice

Indiana Janice

Right now.....nothing

My full size Indy is wearing my bag

But HE has some things in it

Pecards, extra poppers, the stenhouse DVD, and a few "props"

Hopefully I get another bag for Christmas.

Janice

Indiana Janice

Do you want a cheap whip? Or a good whip for a fair price? If you are looking for a great whip and a great price, go with a budget Indy from EC whips.

Janice

Indiana Janice

Well, they definately aren't for the snow.

As for price,,,,,,,,,,,well I pay about 100.00 for runners, and 300.00 for Aldens. The Aldens are WAY more comfortable than any other shoe, and will last 10 times as long. They are worth every cent in my opinion.

Janice

Indiana Janice

I never thought about adding a watch to my attire. Hmmm, Christmas IS coming, and those are some nice looking watches you guys have there

Janice

Indiana Janice

This liner sounds like a great idea. How much longer is it than the jacket? My TOD is 4" longer than the standard jacket. This IS the great white North and the longer lenth is REALLY appreciated in the winter.
Janice

Indiana Janice

That explains my "sticky boots"! I just put dressing on them for the first time yesterday. Guess I put a "bit" too much on.

Off to get a hair dryer......................

Janice

Indiana Janice

Welcome to COW!
Janice

Indiana Janice

I use mine over grass, even if it is a bit damp. I just dry it off, and put some dressing on it when I am done. The motion of cracking the whip may be what is causing the pain. It could quite simply be some muscles that you don't normally use. My forearm used to hurt after cracking, but now it doesn...

Indiana Janice

My Aldens are about 1 month old and are distressing beautifully on their own. I do nothing to protect them, and wer them everywhere. I will put some pecards on them for the snow. I don't recommend any artificial distressing on ANY gear, but it is all personal preference.

Janice

Indiana Janice

I shut down my prop "store" because of the C&D's going around when MR started up. Lucasfilm is not to be messed with.

Janice

Indiana Janice

I think I had this discussion with Fisk last year. It is far too cold for a wested when the temperature drops here. I had one wested made two sizes bigger and 4" longer to put bulky sweaters under it. It is fine for a while, but once the windchill warning are out, and you have 5 minutes until f...

Indiana Janice

First of, yes Peter IS da man! :notworthy: Secondly, No don't use artificial weathering. Michaelson isn't the only one who doesn't do it. :wink: My TOD is 1 year old and has VERY nice natural distressing. The only time I would use chemicals on something is if it needs to look distressed and will nev...

Indiana Janice

What if your last name is Jones and you name your son Indiana? Will they sue you and make you change your sons name? What if you son, who's name happens to be Indiana Jones is selling his hat? Is it not an Indiana Jones hat?

Janice

Indiana Janice

I also think that the amount of salt they dump on the roads here will ruin them. For a light dusting of snow I may wear them. But once the snow is deep and the salt trucks are out, I will put them away along with my westeds. :cry: Last night the temperature dropped pretty fast and the wet ground was...

Indiana Janice

I have owned several westeds and another is on the way. I think Peter is amazing and I don't see why anyone would buy anything else. After all, he DID do the original jackets. Everything else is a copy of his work. :notworthy: Before I get yelled at, I have never seen or owned a FS jacket. :wink: So...

Indiana Janice

I HATE YOU ALL! :evil: :P :wink: In the south, snow is a once a year in January thing, luckly I spend a week at a ski resort in WV so it's cool. :) Is it possible to have a new sole with traction put on Aldens? And has anyone ever done it? Consider yourself LUCKY! :P It's nice for a while but after...

Indiana Janice

:shock: Is a good treatment of pecards good enough for wearing my Aldens in the snow? I have never used leather in the winter. Please enlighten me. Last night it was warm and we had a thunderstorm. I woke up this morning to my kids telling me Santa was coming. I got out of bed to see everything cove...

Indiana Janice

Let me tell you, Jim is worth the wait!
Janice

Indiana Janice

I never even thought about this. I wear it in the car/van all the time, and just fire the seatbelt across the same, regardless if I have a wested on or not. There isn't a mark on my jacket from my seatbelt, and it is lamb. I never have used pecards on it. It is showing lots of natural distressing, b...

Indiana Janice

This makes a question come to surface(rather gross thought IMO)- Do Aussies (or maybe even Aboriginees) eat kangaroo meat? You know, I wondered the same thing. I hope they aren't just skinning these things for their hide. :shock: :evil: I actually have never told anyone what the whip is made from. ...

Indiana Janice

Isn't safety the issue, not how you look?

I would have to agree that paintball goggles are a good choice. For me, a full suit of armour may be wise

Janice

Indiana Janice

Doesn't westernstage props carry Keppler whips? I may just be confused. The budget EC whip is an excellent choice. I have a regular EC 8ft 12 plait and I absolutley love it. Cracks easily, the braiding is straight and you can't beat Jim for customer service. He put up with my annoying questions and ...

Indiana Janice

My jacket is lamb (I have never used any sort of treatment on it) and the leather in the pleat is very soft. I wonder if using a stiffer leather (like cow or goat) in the pleat only, would make a difference. Or maybe leather that is cut thicker, just for the pleats would work better. I don't know. I...

Indiana Janice

My pleats actually turned them selves inside out and my husband just said "what is happeneing to your jacket? I t looks terrible" I got him to wear it and he was right. It was an extreme case. The pleats was bulged out all the time. I wouldn't recommend the elastics in a new wested. Peter ...

Indiana Janice

I find the small wells lamont to be fine as far as the palm goes, but the fingers are too long. I may get a medium and wash them to see if this will even out the way they fit. Great suggestion. I didn't know wells were available in womans sizes. Where would I find them? I can't even find the mens si...

Indiana Janice

Vety cute!

Janice

P.S My 4 year old "cracks" her skipping rope. Now I am in for trouble!

Indiana Janice

I had to have my wested sent back to have the pleats fixed. The thread was lost in the last crash. Peter put elastic banding inside my jacket. Yes, he said he would never do that, but had to try it. My leather inside the pleats had become too soft to keep the pleat stiff. It has helped quite a bit, ...

Indiana Janice

I had my TOD cut 4" longer and absolutley love it. It's my favourite wested and I wear it everyday. I really appreciate the extra length when it is cold out.

Janice

Indiana Janice

Those look great! Thanks for the post and welcome to the best place on the net!
Janice

Indiana Janice

It does look good, but let's not forget that Peter WILL do small kids jackets. I may order a 6x Wested for my daughter who will be 5 next month. She can pass it on to her little sister when she's done wearing it.

The Gap jacket IS pretty nice though............

Janice

Indiana Janice

I don't think that has anything to do with the shoe construction or quality. I think that posture improves from the pride in wearing them :D The fact that they have a heel and nike's don't, totally changes the way I stand and walk. I almost look like i'm strutting around like a snob! They honestly ...

Indiana Janice

I just got mine and they are just starting to break in. They are the most comfortable things in the world. They also force your posture straighter

.
They are just fantastic and look great too!
Enjoy 'em!

There's a big bright window to the right of the pic. It's most likely just the sun. Here's another angle:

Um Cab,
I don't see a pic

Here are the pics as requested. Hopefully the heel stamp will solve this.

Say, that new brown is beautiful! Much better than the 70's naugahyde color used heretofore. But why does everyone want to darken the white stitching? I'm quite partial to it. Well, that's the funny thing, these aren't the "new" stock. The new stock have brown stitching and they haven't m...

Awww, I wanted pics of the first outfit you described!

It's nice to get back something you miss, enjoy it, and KEEP it!

I will get some pics from the side, and inside tomorrow :D MaryonRavenwood, I wear a mens 7.5 - 8 nike, womans 9 and a 6.5 EE Alden. You can get them in a 6. That's the smallest they make them. That should work for you. :D I tried a few sizes and thought I needed a 6, but these are perfect. Janice

I wish the legs were a bit thinner though!

I guess they go with the wide boots!
