NEW Wested arrived!

Post by Cougarnrw »

Hi@ll,

yesterday late afternoon my new Wested arrived, after ordered on 29.01.08.
The jacket is just great, the horsehide is the best i've ever seen!!
Unfortunatly I ordered it slightly too large for me:( It's just too roomy for my body. I think I should go with a 42 80s or 40 R.

The problem I can't return is that it is a custom jacket, I ordered custom sized outer pockets with Marc's specs. 18x15,5cm the rest of the body is the standard 42 R cut. The price was 185 pounds.
So I've anyone of you is interested in a new Wested 42R Horsehide as shown on the pic please send a mail.

cheers from Germany
Cris

Great looking jacket! Too bad it's several sizes too small, or I may have had to snag that one. But like Joey said, some one here will be able to take that off your hands. Best of luck!

Cheers!

Maybe we should swap - I have a 40 HH that's a bit too small!

Cris, do you have any pics of you wearing the jacket? I don't know if you have owned leather jackets before, but as you break them in they seem to get a little smaller as they develop creases and conform to you body. Having it a little loose at the outset may not be a bad thing.

Agreed,
My HH was a bit loose when it arrived -- now it's tightening up....or am I enlarging???

REALLY NICE!!!!!
I'm sure tempted, but my 42R Wested in Lamb seems a bit loose. I'm encouraged to hear that as they loosen up, they'll drape and fit better.
Anyway, I'd still like to have the HH.

Many Thanks
