So, after 10 days, my Wested arrives. It fits great thanks to all the COW Members that corrected me in my other thread (Special Thanks to Swindy!

)

Here are some pics:

Congratulations!

Have you tried turning the hat? The brim looks flat.

Looks great! I know you'll enjoy it. It looks a bit longer at the waist than mine. Are you happy with the length?

Indy_Railok · Post by **Indy_Railok** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 12:40 pm

I'm very happy with it. Thanks Havana!

Snow doesn't matter. It was -8 degrees Celsius (17 Fahrenheit) today and I was comfortable with a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, a scarf and the Wested.

That's you VP. Not me.

Well like I said here I am used to cold weather. I can walk with a t-shirt in a -10 degree (14) weather for a few minutes with no problem.

Well, That's nice. But now it's a bit off topic here.

Your bag strap buckle looks too wide, btw.

Just reading that made me shiver, VP!

You can sure tell MY blood has thinned since moving to this part of the world!

Looks a great jacket, good that you built a bit of growing room into it. Isn't the leather beautiful?

Jorenz · Post by **Jorenz** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 5:47 pm

Awesome pictures. You wear the jacket well. Now go out and distress it.

Hemingway Jones · Post by **Hemingway Jones** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 6:29 pm

I was thinking the same thing as KT; the jacket looks great, and I am glad that there is some room for you to grow into it, young man.
Congratulations and enjoy it.

Very well done:) But now you have a Wested...what else could you possibly want?

Railok, I've been waiting to take those pictures, and great pictures they are!

I'm really pleased for you. The jacket looks fantastic.

My favourite picture is the last one. Very Indyesque.

Railok... looks great, glad your happy with your new jacket! You're really on your way with your gear collection. Heck you probably already put mine to shame since I'm minus a bag, a shirt, pants,... Spend all my dough on hats I guess.

Enjoy your new jacket, next to the hat it's the most important piece of gear to wear.

Congrats...

I got mine today too. I love it.

So it looks like it only took about 10 days to get ours.

Well done, both Wested and Raily!

Now, wear the heck out of it and it will not feel only like yours, but like 'you' aswell.

Regards,
Swindiana

This is a Huge thanks to everybody who has answered in this thread! I could thank you every one in person but then my post would be too long.
I also like the last pic very much and i'm really happy that everybody else does!

Rusty Jones · Post by **Rusty Jones** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 10:38 pm

Great pics and a great jacket man! Ready for adventure... The last one illustrates something I love about the Indyjacket, its a subtle but cool thing I really dig: the way the sides raise up with arms like a suit jacket's... (I looked for a picture of the LC 'What book' pose with indy's hands up but I couldnt find one... the moment illustates what I'm talking about well though...)

Strider · Post by **Strider** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 5:51 pm

Railok,

This is what I wanted to tell you before you had to sign off on MSN today. So, as personally requested, here are my two cents.

I think the jacket looks very good on you, especially in the last pose, as Erri pointed out. It is a little long on you right now, but this is not a problem, because this just means that as a long term jacket, it will be great. You will grow into it, and thus will not have to replace it years down the road, and that is always good.

Overall, I think the jacket looks very spiffy. Jolly good show, my friend.

Swindiana · Post by **Swindiana** » Thu Dec 22, 2005 7:01 pm

You will grow into it and it will grow on you, like Strider said.

Wear it in a frog strangler, let it dry on your body and lotion it afterwards and it will conform nicely aswell. You don't need too look for it, as I believe you will be bound to confront a downpour sooner or later being so close to the west coast and all.

Regards,
Swindiana

Thats the one I mean! I suppose underarm gussets actually take that effect out right? Thanks pal... couldnt find it on TIE.c or TheRaider.n

Masterfulks · Post by **Masterfulks** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 4:14 pm

Nah the Gussets dont make that much of a difference.

You would need a good bit of extra material under there to keep it from rising up.

He has my vote.

No problem Rusty. I actually found a Harrison Ford fan site that has a ton of pictures from the trilogy. It had some great high quality shots from Raiders that I couldn't find anywhere else.
