I wish this same sensation for everyone else awaiting their Wested. You'll get it guys, and then the waiting will seem like a dream. ("I promise you, just get that ball into the endzone, and you won't feel ANY pain.")
Here it is, my brand spanking new Wested LC-style authentic brown lamb. 44R, Raiders collar, extra inside pocket, both inner pockets w/ facings and zips, d-rings, and a bit more taper due to my non-standard dimensions (broad shoulders, slim waist). Oh, and silly me, I forgot the x-boxes, and they apparently are not standard. Rats...next time.

I see Texas Jones got his just a day before mine, but he felt the lamb a bit stiff...hunh...maybe subjective, maybe difference in two separate lamb skins, but mine feels like BUTTER, soft, supple, I can already get draping in the sleeves...this is the last leather jacket I'll ever buy - aside from ANOTHER Wested!
I just DON'T want to take this off...so the suggestion to sleep in it a few times is NOT going to be a problem...planning to go 'accidentally' fall asleep on the couch in a few...
The only one thing I see I may have done wrong (aside from forgetting the x-boxes) - the leather facings on the inner pockets was a decision I came to because I want to do whatever I can to combat the possibility of 'lamb sag', so zips and leather facings on the pockets to add structure seemed like a good idea. And it probably still WILL do just that, but I hadn't counted on the extra leather on the inside possibly showing trace bulges/lines through the soft thin outer layer of the jacket.
But this may not show wear over time to reveal it. Heck, if I DO decide to distress this, I can always choose wear pattern to help disguise that. Now that I've got it in hand, I'm having second thoughts about taking sandpaper to my baby! This may be just me, the proud new father, seeing flaws where there are none. I counted my daughters fingers and toes in the hospital three times each, and getting counts of 40, 41, and 39, I rationalized that the average was a pretty good indication everything was copecetic.
Oh, BONUS points for COW: The guy at the Post Office counter asked if there was something wrong, since I was looking at the package funny, like I ordered lobster and someone brought me beaver
...take a look, I expected a larger package, maybe a box, but this parcel doesn't even extend from my knee to my ankle!<img src="http://tinypic.com/fw5ub">
And I realized it was time to WOW somebody again..."What would you say if I told you the man who made the original jackets for Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movies made me the exact same jacket to my own measurements - for under $300?" Before I left he'd written down wested.com and indygear.com, and we soon may have another new member.
I'll even wear my Wested! 
Just ask Bink ... nope not him .. I mean Michaelson ... no, definitely not him ... Scandinavia Jones ... wait, no not him ... hmm .. who hear doesn't know me that well?
