Yeah it's dark but in my mind the Raiders is very dark, so it'll do. Maybe not screen accurate but it's the Raiders i always wanted. My quest is over, i think.

Ordered! \:D/ After much thought and weighing advice from family, friends, and of course COW members, I went with Raiders, 42" chest, 26" back, 26.5" sleeves, all cotton lining, K-stitch double prong, and an inner pocket I decided I need this jacket to look good on my particular body...

Hey there. It's not a 15 year old Wested, but a Legacy one, but i've used Neromakes dye distressing tip, and it worked perfectly.

How would you guys distress this particular leather? It looks pretty tough to me.

ltfoley

that's good work! So, you opened the lining to sew the elastic inside? I don't picture how you achieved that

ltfoley

Mine is breaking in nicely too. I tried to do some abrasive work on it but the leather is quite tought, or maybe i was too hesistant while doing it. I'm hesitating to use chemicals to distress it and reveal the brown undertones. Will try again later.

ltfoley

I've had mine for a week. I ran it through a hot shower, bunched up the sleeves and used scotch brite non scratch pads. This jacket distresses easily without using any chemicals. I wore it out and the family didn't even notice it was a new jacket I bought it was that easy to look worn. This one is ...

The jacket is here. I have to say i'm impressed by the jacket. I've owned several wested, and other maker's, including a Kelso, and this is THE one. My quest for the Indy Jacket is finished. I really wanted to pay tribute to the original maker and this is it. I can't talk about screen accuracy becau...

ltfoley

Pretty sure that i'm one of the first to be killed by such a high fee. I've emailed wested about that, free to them to change or not their habits. I probably won't order anything from the UK so soon. Sorry to bother you all with my misfortune. Now back to the jackets, i'll give you all a review when...

ltfoley

Great, just got hit by a customs duty payment alert. 116.5€ Thanks Brexit. First time in my life i have to pay a tax from UK to France. That makes the jacket 312 + 116€. Kinda angry at myself right now, i should have been more careful. :( I was afraid of this. Were you informed by DHL? Yeah after t...

My jacket is on its way to me ! Can't wait!

ltfoley

same xmasters, i'm waiting for mine and i'd love to see your jacket.
Plus, how long was the waiting time?

ltfoley

So, the wrong size was ordered, and not sent in time for a return, and it's Wested's fault?
It's alright to be disapointed but come on, they cannot change their policy everytime someone order the wrong size...

Hello There, long time me no see. I just pulled the trigger on the Raiders Legacy, 44 sized. I've sold all my Indy jackets over the years to buy some high end jackets (SimmonsBilt or Aero) but i wanted to have an Indy in my closet. I also wanted to honor Peters' memory so this Legacy is the perfect ...

Hey guys! I'm slowly putting together a new Indy costume and it'll be LC. I'm also new to leather making but have enough experience to make a holster and belt. Anyone has a pattern for the LC holster ? I have a Denix Webley. I know there's a pattern for the ROTLA holster around the web but it's much...

If anyone if looking for one, i'm willing to let my L sized one go. I think it's one of the first versions.

Hey guys, Back here after a long time without posting. I'm on the fence about ordering one of these. (BK and S&J are out of my league, financially speaking) My problem is the choice of the leather. I'm looking for a soft spring jacket, but also want something that will last a long time, and i'll...

Thanks Indy!!!

Hey guys! Still here with my magnoli jacket! As you can see on the pictures in this thread, the jacket has strong pinkinsh undertones. Do you think it's possible to dye it in order to obtain some brown undertones, Last Crusade like? I have treated it with leather "milk" last week, and i ha...

The Cap fits great too! The Dean is fitting better than when i got it!
My Todd's here is a Large.

I've found my old todd's i forgot about in a closet at my parent's, i remember i stopped wearing in because it was too large for me at the time. It's a 42 and in 5 years i've gained weight, now it fits me just right and has become my favorite jacket again. It's the most raideresque indy jacket i've ...

That hat is Adventurebilt Henry, originaly KOTCS, but Raiders reshaped by me.

Okay guys. I've found what is bothering me with this jacket. I wear it everyday, and i think it's a little too long. I was ready to order from Steel and Jones but he got short of merino. I was thinking. I love everything in that jacket, but the back is too long. Do you guys think it's possible to sh...

ltfoley

I'm a big fan of the wet and wear method. I've done that on all my jacket and it's amazing everytime. And i've never slept in a jacket, so i don't know if it's useful or not.

Hey Diego, how are you?
Do you have news about your new batch of merino?

Understood. :M: :tup: Thing is, if you're not used to the 'off the shoulder' pattern of a 'real' Raiders jacket, you're going to be very disappointed, as you're right, the Magnoli is a 'real world' pattern for 'real world' wear. The actual Raiders pattern is a costume pattern that looks great on fi...

The reason i'm thinking about selling it is i don't have the raiders feel. I may be dumb, but i ordered a raiders and ended up with a generic indy jacket. It may be my fault because i ordered a very thick leather that doesn't drape like in Raiders. It Is a perfect jacket, built as a tank, and as you...
