I have an original that I...borrowed from my dad :CR: when I was a kid. Been using it heavily since the late 80s finally retired it as it was starting to show its age. It's been hunting, hiking, swimming, in snow, held me from falling out of a tree, run over, walked on, used as a pillow, used as a s...

Thanks for the advice guys :TOH: I pulled the trigger on a Dark Brown lambskin Hero size 44 24 sleeve 24.5 back (to account for some shrinking) cotton/satin lining. Hopefully I made the right call been doing too much stressing over sizing and measurements when it's explained here many times over, bu...

Ok guys I think it's time to pull the trigger on a hero, but I need some last minute advice. Biggest question/concern is measurements. Now I sent an email off to wested with my measurements to see what they would put me in. 5'10.5" Chest 43" A dress shirt size of 34/35 Back length measured...

Curious if anyone has any word on a restock, website only listing Small & Medium.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm really liking Magnoli's gear more and more every time I see it.
Without Any major thread derailing, for those of you in the know, is Magnoli gear able to take abuse or is it more dress quality, fabric depending?

Well that's a joke waiting to happen I'm looking for a little advice, as much as my search continues for a SA pair of Raiders pants, with that allusive greyish, pinkish brown color slightly baggy style and the ability to be washed and worn like a real grave robbers pants should be :CR: I'm looking ...

Just wanted to chime in with my impression of the WPG/TODDS shirt. After some debate and reading reviews and pics here I opted for TODDS size lg (I'm 5'10 185) in the current offering. Out of the bag it looks great; awesome color looks very SOC/truck chase (just what I want :whip: ) pocket pleats &a...

So while my jacket search continues my fiancé surprised me with a clearance G&B expedition goat! Yeah she's defiantly a keeper! Absolutely amazed by this jacket in every way! Bad news is though its a 42r that was a custom for someone else (extra inner pocket, red lining, and collar snaps) chest ...

Really appreciate all the help from everyone here. Still waiting to here back from Wested, email has been really good untill recently just waiting for their input on sizing. [-o< I'm not looking for an Indy jacket to keep me warm in the mountains of Nepal, this is a replica after all, that being sai...

Texan really appreciate the help. By chance do you know what your pit to pit measurement is? I've seen some on ebay listed as 44's with 23 to 25 pit to pit does Wested add 3 to 4 inches of room? I wanna be able to wear my Indy shirts and other gear but also some everyday cloths too.

Thanks to everyone for all the help! I have emailed both Peter and Gemma at Wested, Gemma has been quick to respond and very helpfull with erveything but sizing, no big commpliants though. I guess in hind site I should have called and tried to talk to Peter ](*,) I had asked Wested for thier sizing ...

Getting the Hero in soft dark Goat I measured out at 44 Chest / 25 Sleeve / 19 shoulder width / and a Back length of 24 (25 going off a curr...

Just spent some serious time reading through this thread. :oops: Soo much info in here and all over the site. As per Holts suggestion I came here looking at Texan scott's dark goat hero jacket and his along with everyone elses photos have sold me on the Wested Hero (although the wings price right no...

Thanks for the welcome Holt! The pics I've seen of the soft dark goat are very nice. Little curious about the sizing but I'll contact wested with my stats and see what they suggest. What would be best though, I like snug fitting jackets but is the 80's cut Hero gonna be too snug for everyday use? :-k

The Jacket Bug has bitten! I've spent quite some time looking over info here and elsewhere on the web on the various Indy Jackets and honestly feel a little overwhelmed. I Have some basic things that I want/am looking for but could really use some more knowledgeable advice. Because of my love of Rai...
