you could have yours by Holloween! By the by, my goat is outstanding after 2 plus year it shows very little wear actually about all is just the desired absence of that new look. I do faithfully condition twice a year but I use the jacket a lot Peter does good work! Don't dis me here 
but I plan to get one of his Memphis Bell A2's anyone familar with the nose art?
Actually, from the description it seems that you have to pay extra to get it *without* the art on the back.Rixter wrote:That's interesting, I wonder if the nose art depicted on the site is included in the cost of the jacket as listed, or for that matter, the patches or name tags pictured. I rather doubt it, since the artwork can get pretty expensive, but I've been wrong about Wested before.
I guess I need a lesson in using ebay having never used it before.RIKRAK wrote: <snip - rip - cut - tear> ... but I plan to get one of his Memphis Bell A2's anyone familar with the nose art?
Rick
Where exactly are you seeing the "Memphis Bell A2" jacket description that you're referring to, or the Memphis Belle A2 jacket itself for that matter? I only see it on Wested's site, which shows the artwork on both the A2 and the B3. The ebay url does not appear to show the artwork (at least the one I found) on the B3, nor does it show the A2 at all:Zach R. wrote:Actually, from the description it seems that you have to pay extra to get it *without* the art on the back.
Not to confuse the Memphis Bell Jacket was NOT on Ebay just on the "Wested" site. I was just sort of looking through Ebay I have a "few" things I routinely keep an eye out for but "Indy" stuff is not really one of them. However, I plugged "Indy" in and was just surprised to find the Wested site and it just seemed like some good information to pass along here as others are often waiting for their jackets. Mine was a custom job and half the fun is the emails to Peter (with all due respect, if you can't cover all the bases with Peter in about three emails tops you should consider pest control). I'm short with broad shoulders so "off the shelf" does not always work for me. ) I'll have to find out from Peter if they make the A2 in "Horse" as that would be the appropriate choice in this jacket, although not the only leather used. I'm too broke now from my summer trip to Europe (yes I was in London but did not have enough time to go to Wested-yes dear I know they are the Crown Jewels, but I know this guy who made me that Indy jacket and........) So as I find out more if anyone cares I can pass it along on the A2. If you want to find a jacket to really become obsessive about with 
LOTS of history and for big bucks the A2 has quit a fan club. A man can't have too much leather--should I mention the Schott motorcycle jacket? It was good enough for Brando in the Wild Ones - now lets see did his have the "pistol" pocket or the "cig" pocket --one snap in the back-- looked like steer??? 
Plus you will probably have it by Halloween!Colby wrote:Thank you VP, I ordered one of these last night and I'm getting just about everything I wanted minus 80's cut and the xbox stitches now that I see what they are!I just didn't want to wait a month for my jacket to turn out when I would have minimal modifications.
Mine moved pretty darn quick. I don't think the customs waits (nor charges) are anywhere near as bad here in the US as some of our fellow gearheads in other countries have it. Sounds like in Canada your best bet is to have it delivered to Michigan.Colby wrote:My jacket just got to new york last night! Unfortnately its still sitting in customs.
