I finally just said to heck with it, and seeings as I'm not going to return it, I ripped the liner from the top and got lucky. The globes of glue came with. I can now bash it as I want. Still think the side brim is to short but I think it turned into more of a Temple looking lid.

Im a big fan of Todds, so it pains me to post this. I'm just not at all happy with the hat I recieved. Most of the measurements are spot on with the exception of the side brim. The one that was sent to me was only two inches, way off center with the bow, and the color is a dirty dark brownish color....

John Vaughan

What? I'm just sayin'

John Vaughan

I left them in until it was dry

John Vaughan

It worked like a charm! Thanks guys. Not only did it give me back the length but added about 3/4 of an inch, which is good because I have monkey arms. TS, insert comments here, go ahead you know you want to. ;) Sorry 81, I didn't think of taking before pics, hind sight and all. I did have to wrap th...

So my idea of the ten pound dumb bells would be bad? I can see it now, from Indy jacket to straight jacket.

John Vaughan

Way cool, as soon as the corner gas station opens in the morning I'll start the stretch out. Thanks guys, knew I could count on someone knowing what to do.

John Vaughan

Been raining here in Kansas, Last week it was raining and cool. Needless to say I braved my antique cow and headed out. Got more than a bit wet. Now after a week it's dry and shrunk! The body of it fit's better than ever before, but the arms are short, and I mean so short the lining is sticking out....

John Vaughan

Not yet, got hit with a rump load of house repairs. I do on the other hand now know what it'll be. I,m going with a Raiders style made of Horse, just with longer sleeves, gussets, sliders and a second inside pocket. Just don't know when I 'm going to be able to order it. Laptop took a dump and bikes...

John Vaughan

...Okay my bad

. Sorry, just figured where I derailed this

. Now, I used the fact that I ride to illustrate how I have to reach forward and the fact that my current Jackets bind. That's why I need a higher yoke seam. Hope that clears the waters... Again, My fault.

John

John Vaughan

I asked them for hidden snap at the bottom of the stormflap on my last jacket and there wasn't any problem. I've just ordered custom ROLA and I gave exact measurements of chest and waist size to avoid previous problems. I also asked for higher placed sleeves, bigger pockets and wider collar. Gemma ...

John Vaughan

You all are funny, Let me explain here. I don't want a motorcycle jacket, I have three already. I want an Indy jacket that if i wanted to I could get on and ride. I will be wearing this jacket for other things also, but I don't want to feel the need to go inside and change jackets just so I can hear...

_ could give you advice on those.

I have three Motorcycle jackets and seven others of varying styles, I want a Raiders that I would feel safe riding my bike.

John Vaughan

The reason I ask is I ride motorcycles, a chopper in point of fact. I have a Raiders that fits very well, only the yoke ( I hope I'm using this term correctly) runs across my shoulders in a way that it binds a bit, if it were higher it would be great. I want snaps, but want them hidden, and a hide t...

John Vaughan

Got a question for you jacket guys. Just how much can Wested customize a jacket? I know they can do chest size, arm length, and back length. not to mention how many inside pockets and all the other things listed on the site. I would love to see what you guys have had done. I'm gearing up to have the...

John Vaughan

I've really been thinking about horse. Anyone got a few pics of that. I have a few other questions about what all they can do, but I'll start a different thread for that, it's a bit of topic.

John Vaughan

Same here, I'm really liking that worn look. My first jacket from them was made of the pre-distressed hide, didn't really warm up to the look untill after a Pecards treatment.

John Vaughan

Wow, talk about ask and you shall receive! this ain't going to be a easy decision!

As always, you guys rock! many thanks.

Where you been, Johnny? :-k LOL, been lurking mostly in the props section. Makin' a few things, journals and the like. Managed to pick up a nice Wested Raiders lamb from a friend at a fair price, and now know I sized my first one to small. Thought I'd give it a new go around. Only now I know what I...

John Vaughan

Sometimes it is difficult to get leather samples, but I was just wondering if anyone might have some novapelle, cowhide and possibly horse hide leather samples from Wested they could send or display in this 'lil ol' thread...? Basically, I was looking for all the cowhide and horsehide samples that ...

John Vaughan

If you 're talking about the third pic there, those are D rings with the flat to the outside. My first Wested came like that. It's an easy thing to turn them in the strap.

John Vaughan

Hope to do the same someday. Thanks for the pics tho'.

The biggest drawback of shopping online, John. I can't stand shopping in person but at least I come home with things that fit. 1. Know your measurements. 2. Never eat steamed goat served by a woman who lives in a felt tent and has never knowingly washed her hands. p.s. Yep, tough as heck (blasted h...

John Vaughan

Sweet jacket! Good to know info too, I have one of these coming my way as I type this. It'll be my second from Wested. I goofed on the first and ordered one a size small #-o The one That's headed my way now is from a fellow fan, so it has a bit of old already worn in. Nice to know they'er tough. :TO...

Same here, 8 foot works best for me, I have a 2', 6' 8' and a 10. the two foot packs easy but I hit my arm all the time, the 10 is just to long for me to be fast.

John Vaughan

I wouldn't carry a bullwhip around for this type of protection. Far better things to use as such. Here in kansas it's called the benefits of concealed carry, and it costs about the same as the price of a good bullwhip. I have thought about the use of a bullwhip in self defense from the time of my l...

It's just an overall Indy style jacket.
