Welcome aboard! Don't forget to do your research about getting a perfect fit, since the first Wested is a special experience, usually followed by "now what changes can I do to get a better fit..." :D

I'd probably call them up and find out directly. It would be kind of scary if there was a server glitch, and all 4 orders actually go through! ...Or not, I suppose... ;) Also gives you a chance to talk to the legend himself!

Welcome Tucolino!

That's how I started. I found this forum a couple of months ago after seeing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and deciding to finally get the hat I wanted ever since I saw Raiders for the first time in 1981. Just the hat. Now I have an Akubra Fed IV, a Wested custom Raiders jacket, a Todd's Costumes Mk VII bag and strap (with a shirt, holster, and whip holster on order), two cheap S&W 1917 replicas, a pair of Wells Lamont gloves, and a gunbelt. :shock: The admiration of, and desire to obtain, Indy gear as demonstrated on this forum is contagious!

I can see you live in Spain. Maybe a phone call call sort this problem out. The Time difference should not be to much of a problem and the cost of the call should be better than phoning from the States.

That is what I would do. Peter is a good guy and I am sure will will help you sort this out and have a bit of understanding of what has happened.

Wested is a great choice - and you will now see how quickly your money will disappear in this crazy hobby. You've come for the gear, and stay for the people... :)
