My Wested in Action!

I've been meaning to post pics of my Jacket, and I was on my friends movie shoot over the weekend while they took some production stills.

Naturally we got to goofing around - so here's some pics of my Indy jacket!

BTW it's lambskin - and I distressed with cold water, sandpaper and alcohol (but very very little)

For the cold water I soaked it and rubbed it with a cloth in key spots - it also shrunk the leather as it was just a hair too big for me.

Don't forget about the balloon... that was probably the most important part of distressing...

oh the balloon was a huge part of it!

- haha I know these pictures are absurd - the balloon was obviously part of the shoot

Really nice jacket there, with a perfect distressing (for my tastes, of course

)
Also, you looks like a slimmer, younger (maybe even prettier) ME!

Nice jacket, what size is it and is it a ROTLA special or a raiders standard style ?

Based on the length, I would guess it was a Temple jacket. Perhaps it just looks longer because you're slim.

It's a great looking jacket regardless.

haha - ok I can see it!

Your jacket looks superb and is further confirmation that the basic design favours those of us who are slim. Sadly, being of a naturally big, burly build I'm not one of them which is why I had three inches added to my recent Wested HH.
