I'd imagine Peter's price would be more competitive than $1,000.00 USD, but only time will tell. At this point I'd just be happy knowing where the project stands.

For those still searching for a Rocketeer jacket:

I've waited and waited for the Wested version. The project seems to have been put on an indefinite hold. Haven't heard any news in a year.

Well, here it is, almost a year and a half since the jacket was announced. Still waiting on it. Anyone tempted to try and make their own?

I'm still trying to orchestrate the most efficient way to build my own Rocketeer outfit.

It is now March 2004. I thought by now we'd have new information about the Rocketeer jackets. Peter told me to be on the lookout early 2004. Hopefully things are going well with design and production. Anybody have any news?

Sztybel

This could possibly be the prototype for the Wested Leather Co. Rocketeer jacket pictured up top in this post. I'd be interested in bidding on it, can you provide a link to my personal e-mail address? It is: csztybel@thatwerks.com I know there are rules on the board about posting eBay auctions, so I...

Has anyone heard anything about the Rocketeer jacket lately? Peter said back in October to start looking for it in the new year.

I will do my best to have the images up by Thanksgiving.

I purchased a relatively cheap toy gun (approximately 10-14.00 US dollars after shipping) and converted it to a Raiders S&W pistol. If you would like I could send you a before and after photo to show you the finished product. As for actually buying one, just keep posting to this topic, someone i...

I know how you feel, reservoirdog. It's kind of upsetting that so many people know and love the Rocketeer, but there is such a lack of collectibles out there for it. I am SOOOOOOO glad Wested realized there is a fan base within the film to tap into. I for one will be on Wested's list when the time c...

ITG,

Kinda funny that you ended up using makeup to dirty up things. Fuller's earth is used a lot in cosmetics. I guess that's a case of woman's intuition.

I'm going to respectfully guide this thread back on track as it relates to the Wested version of the Rocketeer jacket coming out in Spring/Summer 2004. Any information we can share each other would be great. If anyone knows where Jonesy has gone, please advise. I've tried PMing Jonesy for more infor...

I disagree that the story lacked. It was a good old fashioned action film. The characters were developed enough to get the movie coming across the right way. One of my all time faves.

Sztybel

Anyone other there I can get in touch with about this jacket? I'd like to know more. I've tried PMing members, but no response in close to a month. Thanks!

I have the authentic lambskin Wested and love it. It can take a beating too It's not like the thing is made of tissue paper. However once the spring/summer rolls around I plan on going camping and such, the authetic goat will be worth looking into. Right now I understand Wested has a hold on all goa...

Hello fellow Jersey person. A state where Bon Jovi and Camaros thrive. I recommend the Joe Strain 8 foot whip. I got mine a few months ago and love it. When it arrived it was a bit stiff, but two months of average use have broken it in nicely. Great tan color too! Remember over time it will darken f...

I'm beginning to think Lee is the king of bad puns. ha ha

Fuller's earth is, well, an earth tone. Imagine a dusty road in the middle of summer. Dried up brown midtones with a hint of gray....it's realistic, so no worries of a false looking dirt. Trust me.

Sztybel

Sztybel

Oh, come to think of it, I also have Lee's gunbelt. I had forgotten that it was ordered from http://www.westernstageprops.com and that they sell the Keppler gunbelt. The belt is of an outstanding quality as is the bag strap.

Sztybel

Sztybel

I have Lee's Raider's bag strap. The quality of the leather is far beyond that of the strap included with the WPG MKVII bag. Also its accuracy is right on target. Lee is super nice and knows his stuff and it was a pleasure doing business with him.

Fuller's earth is an earth tone. Looks like dried dirt. Tan/gray/brown....it's a nice rich color resembling all of these. It wipes on and stays adhered until you wipe it off with a damp cloth. If applied correctly, there's no telling it apart from kicking your gear around in dirt.

Hi there IndianaJones. I've ordered my fuller's earth from this site: http://catalog.cineshoppe.com/browseGroup.cfm?item_group_id=9344 Fuller's earth does come off, it's basically just a powder used to dust up items to make them appear old & used. An old Hollywood trick to quickly get a particul...

I'd be weary of ordering 6 inches longer than your waist size. My waist is a 34 and I ordered the 36 belt. PLENTY of slack on the belt.

8ft. Joe Strain Indy whip. The whip is absolutely stunning.

Sztybel

Yes, I was speaking with Lee Keppler last night about the jacket details. He was very well versed in its construction. I originally just called to order a bag strap, but I couldn't help but asking him questions regarding the jacket. It's hard to resist when someone has such knowledge in an interesti...

Getting a jacket screen accurate can become a real chore. Because if you have your jacket one way, it's in a certain set of scenes...if you have it another way, it's in another set of scenes. It's good to know that these slight variations guarantee we all basically have a jacket used on screen in on...

Just e-mailed Peter at Wested and he said I caught him just in time to add the gussets. Whew! This jacket business has me sweating bullets. Just when you think you have everything nailed as far as accuracy, you find out a new fact on COW.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. Not big deal I suppose.

Sztybel

I've found some conflicting reports on the gusset issue on the Authentic Raiders Wested Lamb. Some posts have said the garment comes with gussets regardless of specifying them and some have said they needed to specify. I ordered my jacket mid-September, so if any standard has been set in the past re...

I hope this thread remains active. If it happens to drop off the face of the board, I'd like to sign up for the mailing list Jonesy is on.

Personally I've denied ever ordering the jacket regardless of the invoices I have received for purchasing one and any other material pertaining to this fine jacket. This way I can deny ever ordering it until the day it arrives at my home, leaving me in a state of shock.

From the language used in the posting from Jonesy, I wonder if a pre-order is required to have a spot on the limited Spring 2004 run of the jacket. "In order to insure a good color match for the leather, all the leather needs to be ordered and dyed at the same time. This is the reason for this ...

I have seen the Rocketeer style boots at the Motor Cowboy site as well. He appears to have the design nailed to the T, but I'd have to investigate further. One particular Rocketeer costume worth taking a look at would be by David Silva. Search for his name using Google.com. He made the majority of h...

I'm going to scream. I am going to scream long and hard and I will probably rupture my vocal chords! I have been plotting how the heck I would be able to design this jacket from scratch. I've been calling leather shops here in the U.S. and the bottom line on the jacket STARTED at $435.00. Might I me...

Amazing! If only regular whips had that durability to swing from. I could imagine the looks I'd get from my neighbors now. My 8 ft. Joe Strain is a great whip, but comes up a bit short on swinging ability. Imagine all the fun the stunt men had making the Indiana Jones series. "Take this 46 whip...

A 46 foot whip? Wow. I wonder how much that would cost...or the strength it would take to crack! I am guessing this was a typo.

I also purchased the Leather Co. holster and it is very well made and accurate according to the photos I've seen here. I would also make the suggestion of at least two coats of Pecard to loosen this baby up. The dye job definitely lends itself to an older appearance. I'd like to mention I spoke to o...

Swindiana & Co., Are any of these toy guns available online by chance? I certainly can't carry a concealed weapon here in NJ and I'm sure even a blank firing would not go over well at the check-in at certain clubs. Blanks look all too real. I'd appreciate any help in my quest to find an affordab...

Very nice hate there, sir. I also have the Federation Deluxe and I'm still in the process of breaking it in nicely. The really cool part is the box was mishandled on the way from Australia to my home in the United States, so the crown portion of the bash was complete before I even opened it. I just ...

Still waiting on the jacket. A year of patience.
