Another good man lost to history. God speed.

Lindiana

yep go authentic and don't look back

Lindiana

I agree I have a Keppler and Akubra Fed and both are very durable and can take a beating. Other than adding some fullers earth to the Akubra, look like the day I got them.

Lindiana

wear a gun holster, then the police won't bother you about the whip. Might not appreciate the gun but chances are they'll over look the whip.

Lindiana

My money'd be on Cage, I've seen pics of him wearing fedora's and I hear he's a pretty down to earth guy for the most part and likes to get out and talk to normal people when possible.

Lindiana

authentic goat, I'm telling ya depending on how the light hits it it looks light brown to black, just like the still pics from the films. I have the goat and the lamb and frankly I'm scared to wear the lamb as I'm not one to baby my clothes, and I've heard too many horror stories of rips and tears.

same type shirt is much cheaper at Cabela's mine cost like $25. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/standard-pod.jhtml?id=0018649&navAction=push&navCount=18&indexId=cat290001&parentId=cat290001&parentType=index&rid=&cmCat=MainCatcat21082 I remember bring up th...

Lindiana

I have to agree about not doing the raiders turn, I unintentionally did it with my Akubra when bashing it and it looks ok, but my Keppler did it with a little steam. Remember the way the original got it was but someones bum sitting on it repeatedly, something I really can't bring myself to do to a n...

Lindiana

if you get a chance 32, 32 would be perfect. Just let me know, they look awesome.

I did this long ago as well so I can't say too much. Of course at the time I had no idea that Wested made the jacket or that you could get one from them. Since it was back in the 80's when I was looking I was able to find something similar with the shorter cut to the jacket. It was close, very close...

Lindiana

I had also read once that the lambskin "drapes" better and is more photogenic, than a stiffer leather.

I wish there was more of a tutorial but that's really all there is to it. 90% of it is just doing it by eye for the color and shade you want. The first pair I did came out more of a Last crusade color, so on the second pair I added a longer time in the black and less time in the red, for a greyer to...

Lindiana

I've dyed a few pairs with Rit. I recommend you get brown, red, and black. First I dyed them with the brown to get them about the right shade of color you want. Then after rinsing them out I dyed them in the red for a few seconds to get the "officer pinks" look, which will give you a sligh...

Lindiana

I was told by a leather repair shop that you can. I had a leather trench coat with a very unruly collar that stood straight out no matter how much you bent it back in place. He said put an iron on cotton setting and place the leather flat and cover it with a bath towel. On the cotton setting it will...

Lindiana

while this whip is indeed a joke, I guess it could be possible that it was used as a practice whip, to let the stars practice the scene with the softer nylon whip thrown together without getting ripped to shreds by kangaroo hide whips. Besides wasn't a lot of the whips in Rundown CGI, they could've ...

Lindiana

In the defense of the authentic brown I'll say this and I know other members of the board know the same thing. While to the eye the authentic brown color looks lighter, almost every photo I've taken wearing mine comes out looking very dark brown or black. I'm guessing since the movies were filmed th...

Lindiana

I love my authentic lamb Wested, but find myself reaching for the authentic goat everytime I go out the door. I love the softness of the lamb but nothing can match the feeling of putting on the goat knowing that it can take the punishment if a little unplanned adventure comes up. With the lamb I fin...

Lindiana

Depending on what size you wear I may have an extra pair of J Crews never worn I may consider parting with, I'm still debating since they are no longer available.

Lindiana

I usually fold a pair of my gloves in half and store them in the cargo pockets. I found that after a while the pockets loosen up a little. Especially if you treat the jacket with the pockets full.

We have excellent craftsman at our disposal to make very incredible, and in most cases, custom-made, objects for us. These things take time, but it's difficult waiting, because we all love these things so much. Exactly my point, just illustrated much better than my fumbling fingers can do on a keyb...

Lindiana

I know what you mean but in my experience I've had that promise that an item would arrive on time quite a few times. Especially for my Indy gear collection and rarely has any of it arrived on time. I guess I've just got in the habit of waiting, but it is understandable. If someone tells you they've ...

Lindiana

It'll be a seperate bill from Global about two weeks to a month after the jacket arrives. I had been told my jacket would arrive on a certain date also and it was late. I guess you just have to take into account that not only is Wested making these jackets we order from them, but also doing the cost...

Lindiana

Yeah I have to agree, when I ordered mine I had been sent a tracking number that I tried over a weeks time and nothing was even registered. I had sent an e-mail trying to see what was up with the order and then late in the next week after the tracking number finally showed up in customs in Ohio. All...

Lindiana

I've just been using the "motorcycle" lotion on my goat and it works great. It softened the goat up just enough and been through snow, rain and occasional heavy coatings of fullers earth. Then I wipe it clean, put on the lotion by hand and everything is back to new and quite a bit softer. ...

Lindiana

Hello there, I own a authentic goat and an authentic lamb skin (like the movie version) Raiders Wested. I gotta say I love the goat, I wear it as often as possible. The color compaired to the lamb I have is spot on exact, only a tad shinier. I love my lamb skin but I tend to abuse my jackets and was...

Lindiana

Gotta say I actually like the open action pleat, It's one of the main characteristics of the Indy jacket for me.
Lindiana

Lindiana

Go with the authentic lamb, you won't regret it.
Lindiana

Lindiana

to tell you the truth my girlfriend didn't even know I had two jackets for about six months. She just assumed that which everone I was wearing was the "one and only" Wested I had. Which may also be a telling story to anyone who was wondering how the make and color of the authentic goat com...

Lindiana

Panama, just do what I did I bought the lamb first and then found a auth. goat for sale in the classifieds, so now I get the best of both.
Lindiana

Lindiana

I'm sorry if you misunderstood my post, but what I meant was I have the authentic lamb like the originals used in the films, and when they are photographed, even though they are very much brown to the eye, they come out looking black. So that may be why the ones on film look darker, cause they just ...

Lindiana

don't know though I've got the authentic and every pic I have taken in it comes out looking black.
Lindiana

Lindiana

Amen to that Captain D, especially with the goat. The Goat is a very hard leather to distress anyway just cause of it's strength. I love the look of the distressed jackets from the movies but then again there were many of them and sadly on my salary I only have my goat and lambskin. I find it really...

Lindiana

Mine did not come with the gussets, but to tell you the truth I don't think they would really matter much. I've read others who have said they ordered them and really didn't notice much difference. The pull in the jacket is more from the flat stitched panel across the back. The Gussets are in the ar...

Lindiana

Ditto, plus it's more convienent for both you and Peter and the gang using the form. I imagine they just print the order out and have your order, with your specifications in your words, right there.
Lindiana

Lindiana

that would be the authentic goat!
Lindy

Lindiana

Here ya go, Remember to alot of the shine you see in this pic is cause of flash photography, and yes it is a brown jacket it just photographs darker.

Lindy

Lindiana

You can minimize the shine with a little distressing and wear but I really don't think it's that noticable. If you have someone near you wearing a lamb skin it might be more noticable. Personally I don't even think about it, like I said I wear the goat most of the time and I've actually had people c...

Lindiana

Bingo!!! That's why my goat is for the daily wear, and the lamb only comes out occasionally.
Lindiana

Lindiana

Hey Tom, I have the goat and the lambskin and I gotta tell ya the lambskin is a pretty jacket but I tend to wear my goat more. I'm from Illinois where humidity is nasty 6 months of the year and the other half is freezing. I've wore my goat from about 70 degrees down to high thirties with no problem ...

Lindiana

not me ITG I've been banging my head off the kitchen counter to try and get my skull the right shape. When it gets close or I wake up from my coma I'll let you guys know how it worked.

I have a stetson sovereign size 7 1/4 I got years ago. I really like that hat and reshaped it myself for a more Raiders look. I've been wearing my Fed deluxe lately and am waiting for my Keppler to arrive I ordered the end of June. That hat looks like it'll be a winner, best of luck.
Lindiana

Lindiana

I got the same e-mail when I first ordered a wested. Give it time, the tracking number didn't work until the following week after the initial e-mail was sent. If they said it's coming rest assured it'll be there, just start saving your pennies for the customs fee you'll be getting in a month or so. ...

Lindiana

When I bashed my Akubra Fed Deluxe I made the mistake of bending the front of the brim down a little off center of where I put the crown pinch. I gotta say It came out perfect, It has the balanced look of Indy's hat but a definate difference from one brim side to the other. I'm very happy with my sh...

Lindiana

Hey miller, welcome to the new obsession. I gotta say I remember that high very well. I too ghosted the site for a while before saying anything. Like most people here I had been searching for the Indy jacket and hat since I saw it on screen in '81. Being a fan for my whole life I was amazed to find ...

Lindiana

For the Fuller's Earth I had the same problem. Finally I just put heaping amounts all around the brim and where I really wanted it to show. Then I took it outside and basically shook and beat the heck out of it until it looked right. Now not only does the Fullers look right but the hat looks a littl...

Lindiana

I just ordered mine, now the question is what do I have to do to make them darker and what type of pecards to use on them.
Lindiana

Lindiana

I e-mailed them with a link to the Indygear site as to whether they might consider a version closer to the Indy design. Hopefully I'll get some reply, you'll know when I know.
Lindiana

time permitting, of course.

add one more to the list and lucky me I'm a 7 1/4.
