Is there much difference in the weight and thickness of hide when comparing the Wested authentic lamb jacket against the Todd's lamb jacket circa 2012?

Dr.JonesClone

Are you crazy? No. Not at all. =; Personally I like having examples from different vendors to choose from, even in the same hide, so you're actually BEHIND the curve of most of us....who have a few more than '2'. :[ Regards! Michaelson I can't help myself. I just love this stuff. Is there much diff...

Dr.JonesClone

Okay, here I go again. Am I becoming addicted? I stumbled upon a Wested Authentic Lamb jacket and now it's on its way. I paid $150.00 wich includes shipping. The jacket is touted as being in "Like new condition" and the ebay seller has 100% positive feedback. We'll see. With this jacket I ...

It's entirely possible, this is the first I've heard of it though. That would be great.

Yea, in this instance it is a disappointing circumstance. Oh well.

Dr.JonesClone

Well I received my jacket yesterday. It's really nice. Sadly, it's a tad tight even when at its loosest adjustment. It's wearable but a little snug. It is a 2x but fits more like a 1x. My Todds is a far better fit. Great jacket though. Not sure if I'm gonna keep it or not. Oh well, nothing ventured,...

Dr.JonesClone

My goatskin jacket arrives a little later today! I'm excited! I'll keep you posted. $\:D/$

Dr.JonesClone

Not trying to rub it in, but I guess I lucked out on the one I've got coming. Keep your eyes peeled. You'll find the one for you. Don't despair.

Dr.JonesClone

Heard back from USW, and wanted to pass along for anyone also in the market for the brown goatskin Signature Series jacket. They have 1 3XL jacket left, several Cowhides, VIP Cowhides, and Lambskins in various sizes. They said that goatskin is being discontinued. I followed up to see if discontinue...

Dr.JonesClone

Wow! we're in almost the same situation. I just took a shot in the dark and purchased a US Wings Signature series goatskin off Ebay. Got it for $150.00 plus shipping. Should be arriving in the next couple of days. I also have a Todd's lambskin. It is a very nice jacket, but seems a little delicate. ...

Dr.JonesClone

Dr.JonesClone

Michaelson, you have a valid point. That thought has entered my mind. I'll wait and see how things go, but there's a good likely hood that I will hold onto it. It's a great jacket. It's me that's not built quite right, but it's marginal as to it's fit. I have actually tightened my mid section a litt...

Dr.JonesClone

:clap: I will post pic's after it arrives. I'll put on my other gear for the pic's as well. If it becomes my go to jacket, I'll put my Todd's up for grabs. Might keep'em both, but doubt it. I thank those of you who responded to my questions very much. Live long and prosper! Oops! Wrong scenario. Luk...

Dr.JonesClone

Yep, Ebay. I hope I didn't pay too much.

Dr.JonesClone

Well, I decided to take a chance on the US wings. Who knows, maybe I'll keep them both. I bought the US Wings goat skin on that online auction that I won't mention. With shipping, $161.00. Hope I did alright. New ones are on sale right now for $250.00, so I don't feel too bad. My gear list grows. Ak...

Dr.JonesClone

Thanks Tibor. At $150.00 for the goatskin in great condition is a little too temping. I think I'm gonna go for it. I can always re-sell it if I don't like it.

Dr.JonesClone

Probably not enough difference in the length to make it worth the effort. I just need to lose some weight and do some crunches. LOL!

Dr.JonesClone

That would probably be my best bet. I'm trying to decide if the US Wings I've stumbled upon might be a happy medium, it's at such a good price point.

Dr.JonesClone

Texan Scott, thanks for the input, yes a long would probably serve me best in my circumstance.

Dr.JonesClone

Hello, I have a Todd's costumes 2012 version in lamb skin that is very nice with the exception of it being a little short. I have a rather pronounced belly and when I raise my arms a little when wearing the jacket, my stomach becomes visible below the bottom of the jacket. Other than that, it's a ni...

No! That one is TOO SMALL!

Yes, I agree, I saw it also. I'm taking your advice and going for a xxl. I have been contacted about one and am hoping to be in it relatively soon.

Dr.JonesClone

Wow, thanks to all for the insights. Texan Scott, it sounds like yours would be too snug on me as well. I am going to check out the pic's you mentioned. I guess I need an xxl B.

Dr.JonesClone

Texan Scott wrote:I noticed they did not have any more XL's on their site. XXL though.

Interesting. I was hoping to find a second hand one to save a few bucks, but I may have to go that route. I haven't been on their web site recently, I'll have to go browse around. Thanks for the response.

Dr.JonesClone

Howdy all, would anyone have a more recent version of the Todd's Costumes Indy jacket in xl the would like to sell? I would like to find one. I have about a 51" chest. I've heard the newer models are roomy.

Dr.JonesClone

To be honest, the jacket is already ordered, but if it feels a little large, I thought running it through the washing machine might kill two birds with one stone. Shrink it a little as well as give it some more distressing. It is a gently used Todd's Custom that I have mentioned in another posting. ...

Dr.JonesClone

Hello, when buying a jacket, should you use your exact size? For example, I'm a 52. Would a 54 be to large? Or would the extra room be advisable?

Dr.JonesClone

Anyone else willing to chime in?

Dr.JonesClone

One last question, although it's a bit late to worry about it, I measure right at a size 52, and the jacket is a 54. It seemed to be a good scenario. Any thoughts?

Dr.JonesClone

Thanks Kwad, and to everyone who has helped me in my decision. This forum is loaded with helpful and friendly members.

Dr.JonesClone

Well, the Jacket in question should arrive around the middle of next week. I deliberated about it for a good while. I get nervous buying something of this nature without trying it on. I think it'll be fine though. If not, I'll pass it along if it's not a condition issue. I'll post pic's as soon as I...

Dr.JonesClone

JMO, the before pic's were more true to form. Still a very nice hat. Unfortunately the after pic's lose the Raiders drama.

Dr.JonesClone

Ahhhh, just popped the liner out of my Fed IV, and it feels great in these warmer temps. If I decide I made a mistake, it goes back in very easily. Maybe when the weather turns good and cold, although I shave my head and when it's good and cold I usually sport a stocking cap. For now though, it feel...

Dr.JonesClone

I know I'm replying to an old post, but I'm gonna do it this one time. I bought a Raiders fedora from Todd back in the spring, played with it for a while, found a good deal on a Fed IV and never looked back. I just couldn't make myself like the Raiders nearly as well as the Fed IV. The Raiders is a ...

Dr.JonesClone

Thanks Michaelson, not only for your insights but the earlier tutorial. I am not sure if it is the calf skin model you mentioned, but you definitely have gotten my interest peaked even more. I'm going to do a little more research, but I think will pull the trigger. Thanks again. I'll let you know my...

Dr.JonesClone

Hey, how many of you remove your fedora's liners?

Dr.JonesClone

Very nice. I thought it might have been near the Magic Kingdom entrance, it looked familiar. What a cool story. I'll post our pic sitting by goofy as well. Look for it in mid November.

Dr.JonesClone

Oh that one, I'm inclined to agree. It doesn't fit the category imho.

Dr.JonesClone

Well if your talking about the jacket in the photo, I think it goes quite well with the fedora he's wearing. If you think about it, what is Indy's jacket if not a flyboy's jacket? I personally think it's nice to see the fedora with a jacket that looks Indyish without trying to duplicate his entire o...

Dr.JonesClone

This is a really cool pic with the Jeep in the background. I'm a Jeep guy at heart. Also a great fedora and cool jacket.

Dr.JonesClone

I'm trying to get some feedback on jacket weights, not in terms of protection from the elements, but actual weight in pounds or ounces. I have a pretty nice brown leather Jacket, not screen accurate, but Indyish and goes well with my fedora. It weighs in at a tad over 3.5 pounds, and that's with the...

Dr.JonesClone

Well thanks Oildale, I enjoy molding and tweeking my fedora's. I may go ahead and pop out my liner as well. Your lid looks great. As far as one hump being slightly larger on yours, that's the stuff that gives hat's character. That is truly a cool pic of you at the zoo. Regards to all.
