I emailed multiple photos of me wearing my Wested Raiders. I also sent the measurements of that jacket and off the body measurements of myself. He then emailed me what measurements he would recommend for the best fitting jacket. That seems pretty straightforward! That's how you got the right measur...

Hi all, It's been awhile since I've posted, but here are a few pics of the new Magnoli 'Version A' Indy jacket. I once owned another Magnoli Indy jacket, but I sized up the arm-holes just a tad too narrow (completely my fault) so it truly pained me to sell it as the distressing was absolutely super...

Captain D wrote:Dang, that's really fast - one month! Please post pics too when you get the chance! Did you go with Model A or C version?

I went with the model A

Sure, I believe that it took exactly 3 months from order date to delivery date... I admire your patience, even Wested 2 weeks waiting makes me anxious..... By the time mine arrives, it’ll be cooler weather in Ohio. So, what’s worse: no jacket until October or having a jacket in 90F hot weather that...

How long did it take you to receive your jacket after ordering? I just ordered mine on July 5th.

I’m also interested in Hero sizing My current custom ROLA from 2011 in Authentic Seal is 42, back 26” and sleeve 26” The sleeves always seemed to be 1/2 - 1” too short. The back was just about right, and ended below my belt. I’m 6’0”, 190lbs, size 42L jacket, 16-17” shirt neck size, 34-35” shirt sle...

I ordered mine in sz42 on Thursday. The sizes are the exact same as the off the rack Raiders jackets. My custom Raiders had 26" sleeves but shrunk over time to ~25" so I "hope" the 25" sleeves of the OTR 42 will be OK

Either way...can't wait!!

Does anyone have any photos of the Wested cotton twill jacket? I was wondering what it looks like in the real world, as opposed to a vendor website. Also, how soft is the material? I currently have a lambskin Raiders Wested. How does this compare to the lambskin leather? I was looking for a lightwei...

Well this the first quick photo just to get an idea This is made from Lightweight waterproof microfibre which is breathable and has no weight to it often used in golf wear. A few adjustments to be made but the Raiders Ultralight weighs in at just over 1 pound at 580 gram http://i482.photobucket.com...

You can still order them for $29.99 here at Billing's Army & Navy. I ordered one last summer.

http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh489/DrJonesClone/14c5a13b.jpg This is a great photo. My family and I are going to Disney World in November. I'm bringing my Fed with me as well. I'm not as hardcore as you were wearing it in those temps but it should be cooler by then. We've been there in the f...

Has there been any progress to these custom made gloves?

Borntorun, would you mind posting a photo of the label when you receive it? I'd like to see about maybe getting one, too, depending on its appearance. :TOH: Best wishes, Nebraska S. Here's a pic of the tag I had made for my bag....haven't had a chance to sew it to the bag yet. http://images.photo1....

Here are the Land's End Crosby's, they've been broken in with some alcohol rubs and some regular wear. The heels look like almost real deal stuff, but they're just molded to look that way and they are not real deal stuff. I do not highly recommend these compared to many of the other alternatives ou...

Good to know! Do you think there's danger of dry rot with it? EDIT: Glad to see the pictures--looks like it's in good condition. :tup: ;) Best wishes, Nebraska S. It looks pretty sturdy. The only damage I noticed was one of the metal buckles was broken, but it still holds the straps well. The draws...

oH Boy. Been a long time since I was able to do this. \:D/ :WLWOP: I'd love to see a pic or two. Croft :mrgreen: Sorry, I was going to wait until I got the leather patch to post pics, but I guess I'll post a few now...(sorry for the low quality of pics from my Droid 2 phone) http://images.photo1.wa...

Be warned....they smell VERY musty. I washed mine in the washing machine 3X and it still has a little odor. OxyClean seemed to work best.

I found a custom leather shop online that will custom make the tags to sew onto the rucksacks. The website is called Starz Custom Leather & More, LLC [/u] The business is run by a lady named Betty "Boop" Ford. I'm having her make a patch with my initials 'SH', and she is only charging ...

I'm good at taking photos...but am horrible with photos taken of me. I NEVER seem to have any good photos of myself. Plus 95°F heat in FL after 6hrs at Disney doesn't help.

Here is a photo of me and the family at Disney a few weeks ago. I'm wearing an Akubra Fed IV that I purchased from a fellow COW member Rick Deckard . (Thanks again! I absolutely love this hat, and wear it almost everywhere. It was the perfect fit, and the bash was even just right.) Not surprisingly,...

I just stumbled across a website after searching for awhile claiming to sell German Army surplus backpacks that are the same style used in the movie. With shipping, it came to about $46. http://go-armynavy.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/3715.jpg Used, olive drab canvas, large main ...

I have not treated my Wested custom lambskin Raiders jacket, and have been caught in a rainstorm. It is still as soft and supple as the day I got it. It is slowly losing the new sheen, but is not rough to the touch either.

Definitely keep us posted if they are able to make them at a reasonable price.

Here's a pic of my Wested Custom Raiders jacket.

Has there been any further updates to these custom made gloves?

Id be interested of the price is right

I have the custom Raiders jacket with cotton body and satin sleeves. However, after only wearing it about 8 times, the sating sleeves shredded along the seems. I emailed them about seeing if they could send me some cotton material to replace the existing sleeves and never heard back. Instead, I just...
