Hello all, It's been a time since I last posted here. Just wanted to ask about a good alternative to Wested jackets. Recently, Wested told me they stopped custom made jackets orders for good, working only with the online shop. I am looking for a good quality custom made leather jacket but I confess ...

Niceeeee

I will share here the techniques I used to my Wested Raiders goatskin. In the beginning I was affraid also of the plasticy and shiney looking, but believe, after some steps and wear you will feel the amazing goatskin that will turn into. I am in love with mine: texture, feel, touch, pliable and soft...

tekors

Totally mine distressing...brand new so I could give it my character...

tekors

Yeah, agree with Ian,
it looks great...

tekors

Thanks Zoltar...
I forgot this Thread, I've seen it...

cheers

tekors

That's a great looking hat Indiana Cromeens
Awesome picture...

I've actually never seen a jacket with the zipper pull on the right. Even my Abercrombie Sentinel jacket has the zipper pull on the left side (well, as I remember)... or isn't A&F a US brand? I honestly dunno. Maybe even in the US there's no clear pattern. Dunno, or they have been changing the ...

Haha.. great pic

That's awesome (the wolverine jacket)

Welcome my friend

Totally worth it though...I sent mine to John for a Raiders re-block because it was too big. It fits perfectly now. :D Ian hey Ian i myself have a 58 cm Henry that's a bit too large. I use pads and it's ok, but i got a new henry in 57 cm that fits fine, but l prefer the looks of the 58 cm. would yo...

Thank you Teko! Much appreciated! I was looking at the thread with your new one while waiting for mine too.. Still get pangs of jealousy! It's great to see Wested making all this happen... Makes me proud to be British.. (Welsh/English anyway...LOL) :TOH: Yeah, Peter can deliver after all Good Briti...

tekors

Great,
Post your pics

tekors

Just to add to the discussion about the zipper... Actually it's only in the US where the zipper is placed on the right side for men. In Brazil, specially the region I come from (with traditional shoemakers and leather garments) I was told once thet men's jackets always have zipper on the left side, ...

Looks nice Fenris,
nice idea

It seems too long indeed but a tailor can take care of it and do some adjustements.

tekors

Thanks Joeyeah!!

Mitch
Thanks my friend, your words are always full of details and observations.
I appreciate your comments as usual.

Holt,
Yeah, sorry, forgot about the 6 pic rule

As Mitch suggested, I will get rid of the older ones.

Hello guys, Here's some outdoor pics of my goatskin. :) I appreciate any comments... cheers!!! :H: http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz50/tekors/DSCF7100.jpg http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz50/tekors/DSCF7113.jpg http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz50/tekors/DSCF7112.jpg http://i812.photobuck...

Nice jacket and good fit Swindiana,
Too bad that some specs were missed... even though it's still a greta looking jacket
congrats

tekors

It's a nice looking jacket but the other COW members are right, it's too big on you.
As Michaelson perfectly said, you have enough reasons to send it back for a replacement.

Great Jacket Whiskyman,

Colour, fit, details... the goatskin is an amazing hide (I have a goat wested raiders as well)
As for the distressing, only give the jacket a wash... it softens and break in the leather.
And give it wear, that's all.

Congrats for the jacket!!!

Thanks guys...

Mitch LaRue,
As usual you employ beautiful words and thoughts

True, as Indy fans our duty is to put these Fedoras all around the globe, places where Dr. Jones would have gone indeed.
I appreciate your words and glad you liked the pictures.

HerbertJohnsonFan,
Thanks!!

I guess the smell will be gone after some wear.. the goatskin had this weird smell but after some wear and wash to distress it was gone. Someone said in a previous thread about smealling like fish..

tekors

Hey, it's been a time without posting. So, here's a couple of pics: one from egypt and another from libya.

Great jacket Holt
I am in your camp...definetly goatskin is the way to go.

It seems yours has been aging very nicely. Can't wait to see mine in a couple of years.
Again, great pictures and jacket...

The most weird thing is that Gemma promised she would let me know after she talked to Peter. Even if it couldn't have been done, I should be informed about that. We'll see tomorrow how the whole thing will turn out. Thanks for support. Yes, wait until tomorrow. No response, then pick up the phone. ...

tekors

Tomek9210, Sorry to hear that. I like Wested jackets but I've learned a lesson concerning dealing with Wested: phone call is the only thing you can rely. PEter is a great guy and I admire his work, however people at Wested need to improve the communication servide there. When I ordered my goatskin, ...

Great shots...
Agree with the others, the 4th pic is amazing.

Liked the colour. Nice backpanel

Hey bud. could you do me a favor? could you measure the stromflap width? I know the original size. just want to see if it has changed over the years.

Stormflap width 1.25" from stitch to edge. I asked for dark goat, Gemma said they had none and weren't getting anymore. :( Zoltar, It's the same goatskin colour I've gotten recently... and as the others said, I talked to Peter over the phone about it. Compared to other dark goat they had it's ...

I have a wested goatskin and I am very impressed with this hide. I'd had jackets in cowhide and lamb... and from now on goat is my hide of choice: though and strong but lightweight. But, even being lightweight (more than cowhide) is not as the lamb. If you had a lambskin jacket you will feel the dif...

The satin body tends to slide too much, while the cotton body sits and fits better, I found it more comfy. But for the sleeves I still prefer the satin...

you have to ask for it. However, the skin tekors has is not dark brown goat. it's a authentic goat made 15% darker I think. I have the same skin on my jacket. that reminds me, I should take some good pictures of my goatskin. I have had a few years now. anyways, wested has dark brown goatskin but it...

tekors

I didn't realise Wested offered dark brown goat - doesn't appear as on option on their site. Whiskyman, Holt is right!!! I asked Peter for a dark brown, he told me mine goatskin was in a bit lighter shade than the dark brown he usually has... as he was in lack of that dark hide. Even though, the go...
