I changed the laces. Those proposed by wested are horrible and do not fit. Except this, I'm very happy with it

These boots are great, nice color. I feel like "Dr Martens" Inside. Very close to my Alden's 403. Very nice boots for the price!

I love Todd's products. The jacket always captured beautifully the Raiders look. And my friend, this is a very good example! GREAT RAIDERS JACKET!!! Congrats.- Thank you very much Indiego Jones :TOH: . Your Raiders jacket "Cazadora 36" is also wonderful, very close to todd. I'd love to ha...

It's authentic lambskin, Zoltar

My three years old Todd's jacket...The jacket becomes more and more beautiful with age and wearing it naturally ...Awesome jacket, I hope Todd will restock this quality jacket, one day (and also his own indy boots version...)

...Sleep one or two full nights with the jacket can also be an idea to give beautiful leather wrinkles, even if it may not be very comfortable

Hello! I am new here, but I am a lifelong fan of Indy. I just purchased a Wested Indy jacket in lambskin (I believe, but I'm not sure since I purchased secondhand on eBay), and I am thinking of distressing. So you just use Acetone with a cloth, and then apply an ice water bath? Any tips on this pro...

I decided to artificially distress my Raiders jacket to remove gloss and smooth side of lambskin. I bought it as a used jacket, very soft and smooth leather, nappa probably... Simply use acetone applied liberally with a cloth... and then ice water bath to stop the effect of acetone. No sandpaper, to...

Yes , it's an old Wested in predistressed cowhide, Texan Scott. I also hate smooth and shiny new leather jackets, like a new lambskin from Wested. I like "breaking" naturally my jackets by wearing them in all weathers... the jacket which seems to me too short in pics above is a Wested lamb...

didier

What I was trying to say with that quote partially, was that in order to really get a better perspective of the jacket, it needs to be worn and broken in. I think sometimes, we base our decisions to keep or het rid of a jacket when it is brand new, and not worn or broken in. I liken it to buying ne...

Be yourself and own the jacket that fits you best. Carry the "flavor". Life is the big adventure. Not the made up one, but yours. Wise words, Texan Scott... In fact, I have four Indy wested jacket in all, in standard sizing...All of them are 26.5 inches back length and fit me very well. T...

I recently bought on eBay a jacket Raiders from Wested. I'm satisfied with it but the back length seems to me a little short...or maybe ist it an impression... What do you think of this? I heard that the jacket on Raiders was 23 inches back length and Ford is 6 ft 1 tall... My jacket is 24,8 inches ...

The Wested Pre-Distressed jacket is, in my opinion, the best lookin' Indy jacket by far I entirely agree with this.

Many thanks! The cowhide jacket seems heavy to lift and put in coat hanger... but when I wear it, I don't feel it.
I own a LC Wested jacket in lambskin , and, in comparison, the cow don't seems many warmer as it ,on me, in fact...And mornings are fresh in my région!

Absolutely true, very well observed Kt Templar!
I deliberately wear the bag on my right hip for a practical side (in car,etc...), and because I'm left-handed!
