New Wested Order - In Time for May 22 Delivery? - YES!!!

Post by IndyFilmmaker »

I've just joined the Club, so first let me tip my Akubra to all the Indy Gear peeps--I feel like I know you, and not just because I've read so many of your postings. What a treat to discover an entire community of Indy fanatics just as obsessed as I am! Thank you so much for this website and this forum!

Now then, here's my question:

On Saturday (5/3) I placed an order for a Wested ROLA special offer combo. Will it arrive in time for the premiere of CS? According to the delivery FAQ on the indyjacket.com website I should be okay, but after reading some of the postings about long delays with Wested deliveries and knowing how busy they must be right now, suddenly I'm worried. Am I snoozing in a poultry plane with no pilots?

It's possible that with the film's release nearing, Wested is swamped with orders. Best thing you can do is stay in contact with Gemma and get updates on the order status.

Oh and welcome to the party, pal. 8)

I've read a lot of negative feedback about the current delivery times in a local Indy-Forum lately. Seems like Wested is indeed swamped with orders which leads to very long waiting times at the moment.

If I where you I wouldn't bet my money on an arrival before the premiere. :(

An off the rack jacket probably would arrive on time, but from what I've heard the shirts and pants are way behind schedule.

I was the only kid on the block who idolized John McClane (and Indy) while the rest of my friends were playing with lightsabers and X-Men.

But yeah, Risu's right, an off-the-rack shouldn't take long at all.

Hi IndyFilmmaker,

Now is an extra-ordinary time for all ouf our vendors. The otr jackets order may be easier to fill than the pants and shirts as all 3 are outsourced, the jackets form a much bigger supplier apparently....

It may be that to get the jacket sooner you forgo the small discount and ask them to ship that first... paying the £20/$40 to do so.

It may sound like a lot but it's a fraction of what US vendors charge us to send to Europe.

I was pretty big on both really. Indy and McClane that is. Don't think I could choose between the two. They're both awesome.

Anyways, welcome IndyFilmmaker. I hope that means you're a filmmaker. Good for you. I do some of that myself.

Thanks fellas for the warm welcome, and for the support and the suggestions. I've got an email in to Wested, but haven't heard back yet. I've got my fingers crossed...

I'm sure that lots of last-minute types like me are wondering whether it's too late to place a Wested jacket order so as to receive it by the 22nd. It would be a good idea for Peter and/or Gemma to post order deadlines on their website or in this forum, but I'm sure they're way too busy packing and shipping my order for that... :)

Today I got an automated email from Wested saying my order status has been updated to "PROCESSING" which seems like a pretty good sign. Danny, based on the timeline it seems like you should have gotten something similar by now, but really who knows? I have not received a personal response to my email inquiry. I have a hunch that right now Wested is just focused on getting as many OTR orders shipped as possible, and that all customer inquiries for information or special services have been deprioritized until after the premiere.

I knew when I placed my order with Wested on such short notice that I was rolling the dice--especially now, as the Indy frenzy reaches all-time peak. But I have faith! After all, if ya don't make the leap from the Lion's Head, there's no getting to the Grail, is there?

I hope you get yours soon, Danny, and I hope I get mine too!

I ordered on the 16th and I got the processing email on the 17th. it's been '21 days' as of today, but not 21 WORKING days. whatever, I emailed regardless to check what the status was. can't hurt to ask. they've been VERY good about emailing me back so far.. I'll let you know what they say.

Thanks for chiming in, boys! The consensus seems to be that I am not likely to receive my Wested order before the Big Day. :cry: I have reluctantly let go of the dream, and just finished ordering a back-up set of shirt n pants from L.L. Bean (I've already got a passable Indy jacket). If the Wested order somehow miraculously arrives in time for the premiere, I will be delighted--but I'm not counting on it.

Someone really needs to crack the whip over these Wested people. Anyone'round here know how to do that? :whip:

Dear Mike
Your order was dispatched yesterday with parcel force.,on a 48 hour delivery.
Cheers Gemma
That was in my mailbox first thing this morning. and it's pretty sweet, if I might add. that also means it took EXACTLY 21 days for them to finish the jacket, and now I SHOULD be getting it by tomorrow. honestly guys, I don't know why you all have such a hard time getting in touch with wested. maybe you should make your subject headers more bold.. or consider that it's going straight into their spam box? I use yahoo mail, so I don't really know. I'm #### excited though!!

Yesterday I returned from a short vacation to find a parcel from England at my desk! Enclosed I found my new ROLA special, with a hand-written note saying "Shirt and Pants to Follow." This is exactly what I'd hoped for, and I am so very pleased! I gave the new jacket a quick distressing with sandpaper and a razor, then took it for a full gear test drive. Check it out!

Wested comes through! Thanks Peter and Gemma!

Every time somebody posts pics of their Raiders Special jackets I get real psyched about ordering mine. I can't wait, just 1 more week. That jacket looks perfect, congratulations.

Great jacket!!

Can you post some close ups?? Don't forget when you receive the shirt and pants to post some pics if you can. I would like to know if there is any difference in the cut of the current production pants.
Thanks!

Here are those close-ups you requested. I've still got a lot more distressing to do...

Image

The jacket is an ROLA special offer Off the Rack 42R, which is my sport coat size. I find this jacket to be snug in the shoulders and upper arms, but rather too voluminous through the mid-section. Tightening up the action pleats helps make up for this (though I wonder if the 80s cut wouldn't suit me better), and a little weight in the front pockets helps the jacket drape in an Indy-like fashion. There are no shoulder pads.

I will post pix of the shirt & pants when they arrive.

Thanks Indyfilmmaker!

That's a valuable purchase you made!! I would recommend you to distress this jacket only slightly in order to remove the shine only...After 2 months of usage it will be great!

Congratulations.

I know some here are skeptical of the special offer jackets from Wested, but outside of Todd's, I don't think you will find a better value.
Not to mention the Wested pedigree!

Thanks guys! I agree with Tron7960: if you can wear off the rack sizes, this jacket is a great value. And there is definitely something to be said for Wested bragging rights. \:D/

I've just spent the last couple hours further distressing my Wested lambskin. I started with sandpaper and a boxcutter, which I used to dull the shine and to scuff the seams, cuffs, and corners. The color of the leather beneath is grayish, not the brown we expect in an Indy jacket. So in between rounds of sanding and scuffing I applied brown shoe polish, careful to hit the scuffed areas and turn the gray patches brown.

Next I went outside and thrashed the jacket on the street (much to the amusement of passersby, who laughed at my scolding cries of "Bad jacket!"). The street actually proved to be my favorite distressing agent: I dragged, whapped, whaled, scraped, twisted, and ground my jacket into the pavement. I'm happy with the results, which are understated but convincing. It's hard to capture the subtleties of the distressing job in pictures (even for an IndyFilmmaker), but I think you can get a pretty good feel from these:

I think it looks great...I would try to get a little more of the shine of it.

let it hit the shower.....wrinch out the water wear it until it dries.(airdry)no heating then it will shrink.bunch up the sleeves once in a while to get the nice wrinkled sleeves when dry you will notice the water took of the shine and the jacket has some really nce caracter to it.

Yes yes yes! Thanks Indiana Holt! I had read some other postings about wetting and wadding jackets that didn't sound like the best idea to me. I can't afford to have this jacket shrink at all--it's already a bit tight across the shoulders.

But I've also read enough of your postings to know that Indy Jackets are your specialty, so I immediately followed your advice and gave my jacket a shower (I did not let it soak all the way thru). Wearing it while it dried was a genius idea, and you were spot-on with that arm-bunching trick! I never woulda thought of that...

I must say, since distressing it, I have really warmed to this jacket. On the Wested website I didn't like the look of the Raiders jacket in the photos: it looked new and stiff and weird, and the color was hard to gauge. The jacket I received looked and felt just like those photos. Even after the street distressing, it still wasn't quite right, yet I would have been hard-pressed to say what was wrong about it.

But after the shower, as it dried on my body, I worked and stretched across the shoulders and arms where it's tight, and found that it loosened up a bit. Now it fits me perfectly, and shows all the character you promised it would. Look!

Image

Thanks again, Holt! And thanks again to Wested for getting this jacket to me in time not only for the premiere on Thursday (to which I am going in full gear, natch), but also for the Indiana Jones costume party I'm thowing this weekend... :D

As far as the shower part goes, you mean you want to get the outside as well as the inside wet right? Also when air drying, "wrinching" means twisting to get the water out correct? I'm thinking about doing it to mine as well, but don't wanna screw it up and kill my jacket.

I did not get the inside wet--in fact I zipped it up first. In the shower I didn't let it soak through, so no wrinching was necessary.

If I were you I would start by merely moistening it, then wearing it to air dry and see what happens. But if you let it get wet through and through, I think you run the risk of having it shrink significantly, which could be disastrous...

So temperature of the water I would assume should be cool, and for moistening it, just get a washcloth or something and wipe it down? And its also important to roll up the sleeves a few times right? Also, I really like the look of your jacket, any tips on how to use a razor/sandpaper and then covering with shoe polish. Like ive said, Ive never really distressed before and am interested in doing so, just want to get it done correctly.

It just keeps getting better! Today I received the remainder of my special offer combo: the Wested pants & shirt. Having resigned myself to the very real possibility that none of these things would arrive in time for Thursday, I am especially pleased that I got them all well in advance--with time to distress my jacket and even get the pants hemmed.

Remembering Indygr's request, I snapped some quick pix before dashing off to the tailor for the aforementioned hemming. Check them out!

My gamble has paid off! I'm happy with everything I purchased from Wested (and from Todd's too!). I finally have the Indiana Jones costume I've always wanted, and I can't wait to wear it to the premiere on Thursday night. For more on where I stand on this subject, see my posting here:

Thanks Indyfilmmaker for posting the photos!

Indeed, some terrific gear. One question for the pants if you allow me.
What size did you order? Do they fit you well?

I am asking because from your pics it seems that Wested changed a bit their cut. Maybe is the posture or the angle that the photos are taken. I might be wrong.

In any case...nice acquisition!!

Regards and best wishes for a good premiere,

the pants are a 34 and the shirt is a M. both fit just as they should for the size. the pants are a little tight on me, but that's my fault, not the pants! :?

i like the fabric and craftsmanship of both items. I wish the shirt were an SA color--it's more creamy than grey--but to me this is a minor quibble. All this gear is far more SA than any Indy stuff I've ever had before (with the notable exception of my David Morgan bullwhip, which I've had for 25 years!).

i think i can expect to wow the guests at my upcoming Indiana Jones costume party, which is gonna be a blast. here's the graphic i put together for the invite:

That's what happened to my goat, at least. (Well, one can argue the "significantly" bit, but it did shrink noticably). There is a big difference between soaking it completely and merely showering it on the outside...

Congratz and it all looks great!

I too got my Wested "Special Order" Raiders in time for the Premiere but decided not to wear it because I'm was questioning whether I should order a size up.

I got a 40R (no shoulder pads) as that's about my chest size...however, since I work out my shoulder and arms feel somewhat tight within the jacket due to the 80's cut. However the rest of the jacket fits great...the arm length is perfect, etc etc.

I decided to order a 42R and I'll wait for that one to come so I can do a comparison. I'll try them both on and then perhaps sell the one I don't want here or try and return it.

Congrats IndyFilmmaker on that amazing jacket,

I really like the color of your jacket. I want to order a Raiders lambskin for myself but want to make sure that i am ordering the correct color. If i am correct from reading above yours is an authentic brown lambskin?

Also is the color of the jacket in the latest picture pretty accurate and did you do any color changing to the jacket as a whole or just to the parts that you distressed?

Thanks,

Shawn

I am a little concerned myself. According to email I recieved from Gemma this morning my jacket was shipped 18 days ago. I thought once the jackets shipped they were only to take two or three to arrive.

Great pics and nice gear!!

How did you pick the size you ordered from Wested... your normal suit jacket size? I wear about a 46R, and I'm concerned about the tightness in the shoulders I've heard about (I have broad shoulders). Can you fill me in on your impressions on the fit? The sleeve length looks pretty good!
