Noel Howard and Wested Indy shirt question?

Post by Solo »

I have a Noel Howard shirt and I just ordered a Wested shirt, I have read in other posts that the Wested is not as SA as Noel Howard! What's are the differences? Which shirt has the most SA color?

I find the pocket flaps on the Wested to be too large and the fit is a little roomy (for me at least). The collar also seems to be bigger on the Wested- but I'm fairly skinny- the NH is slim fitting.

The Wested is clearly better made than the NH, but the NH, in my experience is the only shirt that will crinkle like Indy's- does that make sense?

I personally think the NH is more colour accurate, but I think there is some debate on this. The Wested looks too light to me. When photographed, the NH looks right to me.

I notice though that Noel's shirts don't have the pen holder, whereas the Wested's do. If that's important to you...

I have owned both. I still own a NH Raiders and a NH Temple of Doom shirt. I sold my Wested. Personally, I like the fit and look of Noel's shirts. They just "look right."

From what I have seen in pics when photographed the Wested look a little to light! I guess I'll have to wait to get mine to see if what I really feel! Has any one on here tried to dye the Wested shirts to get them a tad darker?
