Ordering Wested for Christmas?

[Pitfall Harry]

Do you guys know how long the wait would be if I ordered the jacket within the next week or so? I'm getting the Drk Brown Goatskin Raiders style jacket.

I was trying to figure out what the likely hood of it arriving by Christmas would be.

I've noticed some of the guys have gotten theirs in 3 weeks time.

I didn't think I was going to have the cash to get it before the holidays but now it turns out I may be able to order it after all.

I'm still not sure yet about my jacket size and sleeve length but I am certain about getting the x-box stitching. What I'm not sure of are the following..


Reinforced stitching on hand warmers and pockets (Yes) (No)?

Back Pleat Elastic (Yes) (No)?

Collar resize (Yes) (No)?


Does having the leather facing put on the inside pocket and the reinforced stitching on the pockets cost more?


Thanks.

It's very possible, but you're better off asking Wested themselves. They usually lower the wait time anyway(ie. if they say 3 weeks, they may actually mean 4-5 weeks). Things can also alter the timeframe at any given time. They get movie contracts at short notice that take top priority as well as people sending jackets back for repairs/alterations which is also top priority.

I don't think so.

I got mine in two weeks, but that was in the summer.

You can try and ask them, but as I read somewhere last week and laughed:

"All these little deadlines we set ourselves are @#$%. Only firefighters and paramedics have real deadlines."

They are always quieter in the New Year if you leave it till then you will probably get it faster.

"All these little deadlines we set ourselves are @#$%. Only firefighters and paramedics have real deadlines."

That reminds me of an episode of Family Guy(actually a preview since I don't recall the episode) where Stewie was in a hospital elevator and two paramedics with a someone dying on the stretcher rush in a and give some speech about getting him to the ER fast. So what does Stewie do? He pushes all the buttons on the elevator and tells them, "you are so getting sued"

Well....

I think I'll order it anyway and if it doesn't get here by Christmas it's no big deal because I know I'll be getting it anyways and it will be something to look forward to.


Is there any other type of international charges applied to the shipping besides what's listed on the site? Ofcourse I'm directing this question to the people that already own their jackets.


I don't think I want the "80's fit" either. It sounds to me that it has the possibility of becoming to tight down the road if you put on weight or something.


Thanks for all your help guys.
