Re: R.I.P Peter Botwright
Sad news. I got to meet Peter a couple of times at his workshop. The second time I was there Peter went out of his way to drive me to the nearest rail station because it was so hard getting transport in the area. It was a great gesture that was really appreciated. He was a big bear of a man but alwa...

Re: Show us your vintage wested's!
Now, I'm no expert, having gleaned what little I know from this site, but those are all great looking jackets!

Re: Hero owners - a request
Different day, different camera and with day to day clothes. http://i60.tinypic.com/1zceddy.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/2v3pulf.jpg Fantastic! If I can get a jacket half as good as that I'd be happy.... Everything I'd want the jacket to be is encapsulated in the first shot. The needle is at 11 on th...

Re: Hero owners - a request
Now, that's what I want my jacket to look like! Looks perfect on you and the extra length, in my mind, actually works. Is it off the rack, KT, because you mention it's standard length? And is the colour accurate? I can see the photos were taken in sunlight so the white balance looks quite warm. When...

Re: Congrats Gemma @ Wested
Congratulations! Spoke to her very briefly when I took my jacket in to get altered about a month ago. Seemed very nice.

Re: Raiders HD screencaps anyone?
Ah, I didn't know about that German site or any previous archives. However, if anybody has requests for specific caps, I'll be glad to accommodate them.
Cheers

Raiders HD screencaps anyone?
I don't know if this has been done before...(I can't find any previous threads) but is anyone interested in screen caps from what appears to be a TV HD broadcast of Raiders I found out there? Of course, the blu-rays will be with us in a few months so this may all be moot, if Paramount's versions are...

Re: My Wested Custom
Just want to thank everyone for the hints and tips. Yeah, next time I'm in London I'll definitely be popping down to Wested to get it sorted out. The wings are a niggle that I can live with until it's in the shop, then I hope for great things to come back! Failing that, I'll just have to order anoth...

Re: My Wested Custom
Hi Tibor, So much information to take it and so little brain power to assess it all. I wasn't aware of making a specific choice regarding the zipper. I know that the Hero is supposed to be nickel, is this correct? My jacket is an ROLA Custom... Still, I like the look of the zip. It has a dark brass ...

Re: My Wested Custom
Hi KT, I'd hoped you might chime in, having seen pics of you and your previous jackets, I figured we might be similar in shape and you know what you're talking about when it comes to these jackets. In fact, I did throw your name into the conversation when I was talking to Peter. Just keepin' your re...

Re: My Wested Custom
Well, TBH, I wouldn't really call it a narrow waist...my ###### belly can get in the way!
At work at the mo, so will provide more details on the jacket when I get home.

My Wested Custom
Hi, Been wandering around these parts for about six months and thought it was about time I joined the party properly. I can't promise to be super active, but now I've made a start hopefully this will lead to bigger things. I was back in the UK in June and after having promised myself a proper Raider...
