Hi

Does anyone know why striated lamb not provided by many jacket makers.
I have bought 2 relic jackets from BK and they are spot on in my opinion. The striated lamb is spot on for raiders.

On its way.

Hi I know I am going to get grief for this and people will say shame on me but this needs to be said. I have been speaking to people today who have been misled by jack ..taking money and never delivering the hats.

2nd June ordered mine. Was waiting for the sirated lamb ..shouldn’t be too much longer now.

They look exactly like the ones Wested sell. You can tell with the eyelets.

Hello, We are asking the tannery to let us know what is the best way to fix this. Unfortunately they are closed for holidays and will return in September (when they will deliver our next batch of striated lambskin). By the way, I wanted to say, that we are always here to answer any questions you gu...

Just ordered my second relic hunter in sirated lamb. Gone for the South American version this time. This is the best raiders jacket by a mile. That leather is great..best leather jacket ever in fact.

pdraycott

Thank you whip! I wrote a email to wested yesterday and this was the answer today: „ Yes the Novapelle is thinner in feel and texture than the copper novapelle. The lining is the new one we use now as we have found it to be tougher and more durable than the older one we used to use. In regards to t...

Received my jacket today.. really pleased with it. Very good fit ... distressing is spot on and a very well made jacket. I wish I had been able to get a raiders one from them in the merino as I bet they were fantastic. I would definitely recommend this jacket ... not the cheapest but worth the money.

pdraycott

I asked for everything as screen accurate as the original.. so the original has brass.. so therefore mine has too.. i can then darken this just like they did if I want to ..to make it like the one on screen

pdraycott

Will soon have the above in my hands . Jacket looks great. Will post my thoughts on it once I receive it. But for now here are some pics they sent me of the jacket. I think it looks fantastic. https://ibb.co/fqcBZ7 https://ibb.co/gqoJE7 https://ibb.co/epfn7S https://ibb.co/gHtJE7 https://ibb.co/mRJ7...

Just thought I would add to this. Received mine last week. Had in made in the sirated lamb as wanted the ribby look. I have the Wested shrunken lamb also. I must the the Kelso one is my favourite... the leather if soft and supple .. no wearing it in to get that worn look ... this is the best when it...

Seeing those pictures make the wait for mine seem even longer. Love how that jacket looks.

Received the jacket today. My quest for the perfect raiders jacket is over. The jacket is very well made and the leather is lovely. When spending this amount of money I was worried about the fit..but it is perfect. The sirated lamb is a great leather and the jacket is nice and light. If anyone is on...

Just had confirmation my relic hunter is on its way.... will post pics when it arrives. Can’t wait .. also got a Steele & Jones last crusade jacket being made ... Got a Wested hero in shrunken lamb ... have a feeling both jackets above will be the best of the best but will have to wait and see. ...

Anyone know where I could get one of these? Don’t care if it’s plastic.. in the uk so cant just go and buy an air soft one as have to play x amount of games before that.

pdraycott

The eternal debate, they do leave a little bit of room, but my advice now would be stay with the 46". If wearing a jacket a lot as an actual jacket I favour a relaxed fit, not always but most of the time, so I can layer and still be relaxed with it. I agree with you to a point. It’s all about ...

pdraycott

I would go for a 44. They allow for some room.

Received the aldens today. After first putting them on , I must say they are quite clever comfortable. Glad I went a half size down otherwise they would have been too big. Very noisy leather to start and the leather seems a bit harder around the ankle but it probably isnt..just feels like it. Most a...

My new Alden 405’s should be arriving later. Only found 2 places in the U.K. that stock them. Went for a size 8.5 U.K. as everything I read said size down half a size. Really hope they fit. Will write a mini review once I have received them. Just wondering if it’s worth putting sole protectors on th...

I just ordered my normal size in this jacket and it fitted well. I distressed mine using a green scouring sponge , water and some fairy liquid. Someone in the forums recommended this way and it worked well. Just start slowly and take your time as the distressing doesn’t show up as much until it’s dr...

pdraycott

Looks spot on to me. But if the significant other asks... i would say you need another....

pdraycott

Just ordered mine....must say from the pictures they look like great jackets. I love the distressing on them.

pdraycott

I would have gone for a 52 but it all depends if you like a snug fit or not.

pdraycott

Oh yeah.. I never noticied that before.

pdraycott

Thanks guys. The noble one is so expensive too. Just thought with it being official it may be good. Well I was swinging towards the hero anyway, so thanks. Now do I sell my standard raiders or have two? Lol

pdraycott

Hi
Have any if you seem one of these in person and if so what's your thoughts on it? Its either this or a wested hero.

Thanks

pdraycott

I have the standard raiders size 40 regular. It's a snug fit when fastened but not tight. I think a size 42 in the hero would be better for me as from what I've read it's a tight fit. Anyone else found going up a size is better in the hero?

pdraycott

I have a wested size 40 and mine is snug when fastened and it sits on my shoulders not off. I too am looking at getting the hero but in size 42. If its a tighter fit then from reading on here a size up may be better.

Is it straight or zig zag.

Thanks, Croft

Hi

It's a rounded zig zag.

I received my Lands End Crosby boots about 2 weeks ago. I think they are good value for the money I paid. Only trouble I found with them is how stiff the leather is around the top of the boot. After wearing them for 2 days, I had two gouges in my ankle where the leather had rubbed against my ankle a...

pdraycott

just received my gloves from Todds Costumes. Very nice. Got the clean ones so I can distress them myself with normal wear and tear. At first they felt tight, but after wearing for an hour or so they gave a little and feel very comfortable now. Great gloves at a cheap price.

pdraycott

Hmm.. I can feel a new purchase occurring.
Is it very heavy?

pdraycott

Was just crushing around eBay and someone is selling the 405 boot for £150. Too small for me but may fit someone here.

HI guys.
Ive used some steam now to try and get the brim looking better. What do you think?

pdraycott

http://i48.tinypic.com/34ralgk.jpg A bit more bashing to get the height to 4.5 inches as recommended above. Also the brim is starting to keep the swoop at the front now. I just keep pulling it down when I'm wearing it. I guess after time it will just get easier for it to keep the swoop. Now I have ...

HI, I have just recieved my Federation IV. Heres my first try at bashing the raiders look. There something about the brim that doesnt seem right. I've found lots of advice on how to bash it but cant find much on how to get the brim right.Should the brim be curled up a little at either side and what'...

pdraycott

Thanks for all your comments. I think I will leave it as is. I've not been on here very long but I have found it full of some very nice people. Some of you have been on here for ages and your comments really are appreciated. I'm currently waiting for my Akubra Federation and some Lands End Crosby Bo...

Thanks for that guys. I left it over night on a hanger but creases still there. I will give it a week or two and then try wetting it. I have been waiting to let it weather naturally but I think these creases are too much. Photos of creases: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/40/img0560xu.jpg/ http...
