Taking in Wested width?

Post by mooniteman »

Alas I'm on my second Wested and now it's too bloody wide !

First it was the length - not it's the width - AHHH!

So would it be easy to bring it to a decent tailer or Jacket repair pereson or something and have the jacket taken in width wise?

And would it harm the look?

Cheers

Is it a custom or OTR? Anyway it's not easy to find a leather repair service.

so you got it second hand and you feel it is to wide the body...

then off course there will be a big chance that it will not fit your body frame the way it would on the person who the jacket was made for in the first place :?


why dont you show us a picture of you wearing the thing and we can give you our thoughts on it...

the raiders jacket always in my eyes was a baggy jacket and not a snug one

If the jacket were as snug as some folks here want, you wouldn't be able to walk, sit down, or swat a fly. Let me say this: If you can't crack a whip while wearing your jacket, it's TOO DARN TIGHT!
