My apoloigies to all those that contributed that I did not name, I knew I couldn't name you all or remember all... but thank you! :) Thanks for the link to the post! I missed that - Very exciting news and an important step for me. :) Sounds like it responds well to the distressing treatments. :) I'l...

Ssssssaaaaaaaaawwweeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the info Jun! Guess, now its my turn to try it on my new 'authentic' lamb. (only cause I want one to wear, not because I can do a better job. :P I doubt that I could! :) Did someone say that the leather is still soft to the touch even after distress...

I just got my package from Wested this morning too! :) I am rather amazed at the new "authentic" lambskin. Its a great jacket and I am VERY happy. But I must admit, most of why I am so happy is thanks to your efforts MK, to get the Raiders jackets done right. I have benefited from your eff...

Thanks Mike! You rock!

To anyone who owns a FS Expedition...

How many black square slides does each pull tab have or... how many slides are on the jacket total? Thanks.

-Prof. Fanara

Has anyone else had this problem with their jackets? I had it with my first Wested but then the opposite. The backside of the jacket was way too short and the front was much longer... So that wasn't looking very nice on me but I learned to live with it. My new Wested fits me superbly. Deja Vu... My...

For all you FS fans out there...

All this talk of FS has got me think'n... what would be the closest FS hide to the right color seen in the films? Thanks.

I think its great that not everybody likes the same jacket manufactuer. If there was only one supplier of a good jacket, of only one type or another that would be boring. I also like hearing that there are fans out there who have a favorite Indy movie that isn't Raiders. I'm glad we're not all the s...

[quote="MK"] I have sent the jacket back to Peter. I am really picky about the cargo pockets being one inch. Also the jacket is too short. I really hiked up my pants to make it look right in the pictures.[quote] Well, I guess this explains why we haven't heard about how this new "auth...

Just the mere mention of Flightsuits seems to ruffle feathers around here. I wouldn't worry about it. Your post was very reasonable. I agree. :) Mentioning FS does seem to stir up strong emotions in some... As for this subject I will leave alone. I would like to thank everyone for posting and givin...

No kidding, huh. Well excellent work people (ie- Indy Gear crew). Excellent work at putting good info out there. Apparently, we're not the only ones who use it. Looks like a neat manual though.

I apologize if this subject has come up, but I'm afraid I missed it, if it did. :( I wanted to ask what was the COW general opionion of Wested's new slides and those used by Flightsuits (black slides) for the pull tabs. Which type looks most like what was seen in Raiders? Best Regards, -Prof. Fanara

Wested jackets seem to be built for action. I've had to do some serious running in mine and not once did I feel inhibited. :D No argument here. I love how action-worthy Westeds are. I'm just one of those skinny guys that it takes a lot of work from a Tailor to do, before a garmet fits well. Luckily...

Remember in ROTLA when he jumped in the water to swim to the plane? Don't do that! :wink: (In the real world, he had a new pair after that, and besides, it was a stuntman swimming anyway....) Drat! So my holiday plans of visiting Kaui and swinging from that vine into the river (where I'll super-imp...

Not as large as Flightsuits sizes where they feel everyone is Corn-fed and plays football I probably should mention that my observations of this come from Flightsuits military jackets. I do not own an Expedition, but I have several other jackets from Flightsuits and they fit this way. :| Open mouth...

While I had Raiders in the DVD player... For the record he said ...er, Laserdisc Player/VCR. Uh, we wouldn't want to get Indiana Josh some un-wanted attention from the "pirate police"... (All in fun, my friend. All in fun. :D ) Nice choice on the Jacket Indiana Josh... can't wait to see i...

That has always been a problem with my jackets from both Wested and FS......and I haven't been accused of having a trim waist in many moons. :wink: MK, I know you're not built like Mr. Ford - you have shoulders, but that new "authentic lambskin jacket looks like it fits like a charm on you! Lo...

Flash, CONGRADULATIONS!!! There is nothing quite like having just recieved a Wested in the mail! I know someone will correct me... but isn't Pecards best for Cowhide, or have they now something for Lambskin? Regular Pecards gets all gummy on the lambskin...??? Anyways, CONGRADULATIONS on your new (a...

No, Fanara... you're not. And anyone who tells you that you are with have the misfortune of meeting me in a dark alley and having an introduction course on my wraith and a tutorial on "Shut the He11 up - 101". By the way... cool pic- Welcome Aboard. :shock: :D I appreciate your support, R...

Is it just me or does it look lighter than Chris Kings Authentic Lamb? Now I am confused on whether to make my next Wested an Authentic Lamb or Regular Lamb :? I am a little confused about the lighter color too, BUT I don't think thats going to stop me from ordering an new/old "authentic"...

Pyroxene, What an awesome jacket! I think I'd have to agree with you. :) Everytime I order from Wested it gets better and better too! Do you have one of the new "authentic" lambskin jackets for yourself? I must say... THANK YOU for the posting the pictures. :D Best Regards, -Prof. Fanara

<[quote="Indiana Joe"]If the Diary can fit into a Wested Raiders (or TOD :lol: ) cargo pocket, please set me straight.[quote]> IJ, Its my understanding that unless you specify that you want smaller pockets on your ToD or Raiders jackets from Wested... all the jackets have the large LC pock...

So let me see if I have this straight: all of the current Wested jackets have the same larger body as the one seen in LC, rather than the more form-fitting jacket that Ford sported in Raiders ? I kind of suspected that when I first tried mine on last year. No complaints here, mind you, because I am...
