Yeah, I saw your post. That’s an awesome jacket. Love the undertones.

Very unique. Well done!

I think you need to get to the root of what you want. We all end up buying multiple jackets chasing the dragon so you to speak, trying to capture what we see on the screen. If you narrow it down to the true essence of what you want, then spend whatever it is to get the product you desire, I think yo...

:TOH: Back in March I decided I wanted a more fitted Indy jacket. As I already had a Raiders from Steele and Jones and was really impressed with Diego’s work, I knew where to go. The TOD jacket really doesn’t get enough love. Perhaps it’s because the film is not as revered. I have also really liked ...

That’s great fit on you. Drapes very well.

Shipping is included

I had a Kelso at one point, but the collar was too big and I had to sell it. Their lambskin felt very high end though. I have a Steele and Jones Raiders in cowhide and their customer service is unmatched by any other vendor. Im Very happy with the Raiders Jacket they made me in 2016. Just wish I did...

Update
Got a local tailor to taper the sleeves and Wested refunded me enough money to cover the costs.

Mick was great about it and dealt with the situation immediately.

Tailor was very impressed by the shrunken Lambskin. Has a very unique texture. Looking forward to breaking it in.

I’ve had jackets from all the vendors mentioned and no one tops Diego for customer service. His level of detail and patience with every one of my silly questions and dumb jokes is unmatched. Quality of product is also fantastic. In the queue currently for my second from S&J. A TOD jacket. I also...

Hey everyone

Does anyone know of any method to restore the new leather smell?

Thanks in advance

Nice! What kind of leather is that?

Don't forget, our jackets are completely made-to-order, so we can customize/modify existing styles, like the Vintage Adventure Jacket, any way you like. Also, though we don't have horsehide, we can source a thicker/heavier cow for you to get you the robust jacket you're after. :TOH: Thanks Indy Yes...

Update First thanks for all the feed back guys Of the three vendors mentioned, Wested is the only one who makes a jacket in Horsehide currently. They are not doing major modifications however due to Covid and I’m Not sold that I will find a model where the collar doesn’t drive me nuts. I have ordere...

Hey all So I just recently looked at when I originally joined COW. 2003. This February it will be 18 years. That’s two years before it’s two decades! Now of course I have not been an overly active user. I think I’m still considered a digger or something lol. Even so I have observed quite a bit in th...

of all the jackets I have purchased and then sold, I only regret selling the wested horsehide I had. It was my first jacket and other than the collar, was perfect.

if you get one, never get rid of it. great jacket!

I have no pics however..sorry

[quote="Michaelson"] Oh, and not all of us " moustache sporting dudes" are 'hipsters'. /quote]

lol very true.

Thanks Diego. I work nights, wasn't able to get to this

I'm not actually a hipster. I don't have a sense of entitlement or pay premium prices on clothing to only look homeless.(not all Hipsters.. but they are ruining it for the rest of you) I however like some of the styles associated with these moustache sporting dudes. I've always leaned toward jackets...

That looks so much better on you than me! What a great fit!

nice

Thanks

Evening everyone Just browsing the bill Kelso website as his relic hunter jacket looks fantastic and I found it very frustrating. His sizing chart just states the basic sizing but no info on what the other dimensions are such as jacket length, sleeve etc.. I'd like to order one but as I have read em...

well to be honest..I do not doubt your experiences but before we have a lot of possible negative feedback, perhaps my experience can shed a little light. When I ordered my jacket in November of last year, I called it in and got Gemma. She gave me the impression of someone who was on the other line t...

I really think someone has to put a book together on this mystery. Even though there may be a limited number of "gear heads" in the world, I still think it would be marketable for the average reader. I really believe that it is the mystery of the jacket and Fedora in Raiders that is respon...

I have an AB from Steve on order for I think November of this year, but have received a Wested HH raiders jacket that fits perfectly. I love the thing. It fits in with my regular style and no one knows its an Indy jacket. I just get compliments about how original and great it looks.

Thanks for the info Fedora. So if the crown's height can only be shortened so much before you lose the Indy look, what other modifications ( brim dimensions etc..) would you use when creating a custom made fedora. Lets say..to make a hat look good on a small round head. :lol:' That being of course i...

I did indeed get the right pockets. The jacket is awesome. I love the Wested.

The fit of the standard is better than the photos show...at least..to me.

I'm quite please with both jackets.

Only thing I would alter on the wested is the stiffness..but I guess I just have to wait that out.

Taken after a soak and light sanding.

Still a ways to go. but liking the results thus far. I plan to let my Wested age naturally as I really do like the look of new leather.

Any thoughts, suggestions etc..?

The Todd's standard arrived Saturday morning. Seems Canada post is delivering on weekends as well. :) As stated before, I found the Wested to be a great fitting jacket but the length and width not really SA. Taking out the Todd's from packaging, I could immediately tell what everyone was saying abou...

I'm now setting things up. Photos coming.

Actually, I'd really like to create a web page to post these pics and then from there, link them here...can anyone baby step me doing this?

How else can you post pics here? Whats the most simple straight forward method?

Love any advice available.

Hello Everyone. Been 4 years since I posted on this forum. Last time, I was mainly interested in a fedora. I settled on a Federation. For a long time I was very happy with this purchase as the hat was very well made and looked the part. However it didn't look good on me. I ended up giving it to a fr...
