Not that I have the money for it, but I don't see any sizes available.

Yes, this is a little annoying. But... I have no money too.

Well all I have to say is, it is about time Noel's stuff got up on wested's site. I think I may get a pair of pants, and that maybe it, I don't know what else I may get, but that is a bargain for a pair of NH design for the indy pants.

these prices are less than what noel offered them for. it just shows how classy peter is.....he's just here to keep us indy kooks happy. thanks again peter

That's true. I remember the NH prices being just crazy (of course they're worth it), but thanks to Peter we're getting this stuff at good prices! I ordered an original MkVII yesterday for around $20!!!! It's one of my dream pieces to have, and I'm very glad to be finally getting one, even if its not a pair of NH pants or some legendary piece of gear like that.

You're right G about Peter being classy. He could of auctioned this gear off for a pretty penny, but offered it up to fans at a steal. Hats off to Peter or I should say fedoras. I was lucky enough to purchase a NH ROLA shirt from Wested and I couldn't be more pleased. I hope he can replicate Noel's designs for his future stock. Good show ol' chap

Wade Egan · Post by **Wade Egan** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 12:42 pm

Is it just me, or does NH gear look to be 'screen in-accurate?' I realize he worked on the original equipment, but the costume department went to town distressing everything and may have changed some of the stuff (like hand cutting the end cut on the Raider belt and making extra holes. Maybe the pants and shirt are (I don't know I haven't seen them personally), but the other stuff is a little off to me.

The Last Crusade belt has a brass buckle with the double keeper set up? Screen caps are everywhere (take a quick look on the IndyGear main page in the gear section). Also, everything I've seen of Raiders as well as the newer blue ray screen grabs, etc., I've never seen a second leather keeper on the Raider gun belt in the film. But NH made them with it.

Call me crazy...

any word on the size issue? i emailed wested but got no response as of yet

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 5:15 pm

Yeah, i ordered a tie and used bag but paid with paypal and then the screen froze. I had to exit but when I check with paypal, the money was still sent to Wested but I recieved no confirmation from them. Now I have to wait days go get a #### reply from Gemma. Why does it take them so long to answer their email?

Henry Jones III · Post by **Henry Jones III** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 5:23 pm

Well the pictures are Medium, so I'd assume that's what size they have. Does anyone know if they're the same size as Wested's 'own brand' medium?

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 5:24 pm

Well it's going to take awhile now since it is the weekend. I don't usually get a reply until the Tuesday after the weekend.

From my limited experience. A medium NH is slightly smaller than a 's' Wested. Shoulders are similar but the body on the Wested is looser.

Rats. Looks like I'd need a L at least as I wear a M Wested.

Toldog07 · Post by **Toldog07** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 8:54 am

i'm sure they have more sizes than medium, i doubt they would take pictures of every size they have and post them all on the website. They probobly just havent added the size option yet.

DVD Connoisseur · Post by **DVD Connoisseur** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 9:51 am

When I enquired, they had the large / extra-large shirts in stock (plus large long for the Raiders shirt).

Peter was encountering problems with adding the sizes to the website so you're best ringing / e-mailing if you're interested.

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:51 pm

Only problem with email is they take days to respond. If you live in the UK, ringing should be no problem!

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:56 pm

That's not true for everyone... I get replies within 24 hours.

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 11:05 pm

Wow, thats so weird. I guess its the people who's emails get stuck in the spam filters. It took Gemma 5 days to respond earlier on an issue this month and now again. hmm..I just hope the NH stock doesn't dimish before I get contacted. I might just have to bite the bullet and call them!

Tron7960 · Post by **Tron7960** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 11:42 pm

I ordered though the site and sent a follow-up e-mail requesting a shirt in a Medium. We'll see what happens.

PLATON · Post by **PLATON** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 2:03 pm

I have bought the entire NH stock and I am accepting orders. Please contact me *joking*

Tron7960 · Post by **Tron7960** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 3:56 pm

I received an e-mail response from Gemma this morning. Sounds like medium is one of the available sizes.

MARQ · Post by **MARQ** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 6:50 am

Peter:I truly hope that you´ll copy every part of Noel Howards Items !!
PLEASE do so!

PLATON · Post by **PLATON** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 7:05 am

I also wish he copies them but I am afraid it will not happen.
Others have tried to copy but did not get it right I think.
It seems it's very hard to copy....

Henry Jones III · Post by **Henry Jones III** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 7:29 am

The site's been updated with sizes. The only large they had was a Last Crusade long which I've just ordered.

Indiana Joosse · Post by **Indiana Joosse** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 11:33 am

Went for a belt and a tie myself.

Thanks for the tip!

Are these being made from NH's patterns?

The NH stock is old leftover stock. Wested shirts are their existing pattern.

Wow! Talk about fast, my NH shirt from Wested ordered Tuesday, arrived on Friday!

3 days from England to Canada!

Fits, feels and looks great!

tunic · Post by **tunic** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 12:30 am

I ordered the LC shirt and a pair of pants tonight . Hope they fit OK. I always worry about ordering clothes online. I got long arms and legs. But if I don't order them now I may miss out on getting Neol's stuff .

Baldwyn · Post by **Baldwyn** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 4:53 pm

I contacted Wested on September 16th to get a Medium shirt, sent my credit card number, and no shirt. When these hit the web on Oct 10th, I ordered right away, was told the shirt was in stock, but there wasn't a gunbelt in my size. I asked for a refund for the gunbelt, obviously, and was told I'd get one. Two days later, I asked, and went back and forth a few times and guess what? Gemma never set aside a shirt for me and they sold out.

Really discouraged.

Indiana Joosse · Post by **Indiana Joosse** » Tue Oct 21, 2008 7:11 am

####, that's really nasty...

Really sorry to hear that.

I recently had some trouble with them as well, but as far as I'm concerned they went above and beyond to make everything right. For me anyway...

Unfortunately with Wested it's always best to place orders by phone because there are periods when Gemma and Peter don't even reply to emails so you don't know what's happening with your orders/requests, if the mail was even read or not (Peter if you're reading this... hint hint hint

lol).
Then you phone and you find out if there was a problem or if everything went smooth and the item ordered is actually on its way... but you have to phone to know. On COW this is no news really, most of the repeat and satisfied wested customers like me know that they have to phone.

I don't want to justify Peter, I'm sure he can do it by himself, but I guess they are constantly very busy. I understand it could be upsetting sometimes for customers, especially if something goes wrong with your order and you don't find out untill you pick up the phone and dial Wested number.
I've been trying to order a jacket (non indy) for my mum a couple of times and I never got an answer to my enquiries so I'm kinda stuck with that one.
All I know for sure is that Peter does read emails and acts accordingly... it's only that he rarely replies to let you know he did.
So I guess I have to follow my own advise and pick up the phone otherwise my mum will never get her jacket

Indiana Joosse · Post by **Indiana Joosse** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 9:33 am

Well, the belt and tie came in today.

Very happy with that.

I ordered it last weekend and it arrived today.

No complaints from me.

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 9:46 am

Yeah, I ordered a tie too. Those ties are such a great deal because they are atkinson, Irish popplin, and they retail for $80...Thanks Noel!

Wow guys, thanks!

I actually didn't know that.

Just thought, hey, one of those ties would be nice...

Anyway, many thanks to Peter too for making the last of Noel's stuff so easily available for us.

Henry Jones III · Post by **Henry Jones III** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 1:19 pm

My shirt(s) arrived today - easily the best Indy shirts I own. I'm currently wearing the large, but I've been having recent success at the gym so I think I'll be rocking the medium before long.

Baldwyn · Post by **Baldwyn** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 2:10 pm

Just an update, I received a LC Medium last night! Fits great, it's a truly wonderful shirt, and I'm glad to get it

The bag strap looks much nicer than the one I got in 2000 too.

Just got to chase down a refund for the gunbelt now.

tunic · Post by **tunic** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 3:45 am

Just received my LC shirt and Indy pants today. I just have to say the pants are great and the color is lighter then the Wested pants. The wool pants are nice weight a little heavier then the Wested pants. The shirt is much like the Todd's shirt to me. It is longer then Todd's though. If anyone is thinking about ordering I say go ahead . I think Neol's products are great and they are worth every penny.

Indiana Strones · Post by **Indiana Strones** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 8:20 am

Tunic, can you compare NH and Wested pants sizes? Thanks.

RCSignals · Post by **RCSignals** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 4:15 pm

As I recall in a post by Peter it was said the Wested pants use the same cloth as the NH. Maybe that is in reference to cloth currently used, and your Wested's are older?

WinstonWolf359 · Post by **WinstonWolf359** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 8:22 pm

In Wested's description of the Noel Howard pants on their website, they state that the NH pants are the same fabric and color as their offerings, just that the NH pants are a heavier weight fabric.

However, I believe the Last Crusade pants from Noel were intentionally lighter in color, which would explain why these NH Crusade pants are slightly different from a stock pair of Wested pants.

Indiana MarkVII · Post by **Indiana MarkVII** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 9:36 pm

I missed the boat on this go around. I wanted a shirt, gun belt, and LC tie, but Wested is completely out of stock in my sizes. You guys cleaned them out fast, or Peter didn't have that many to go around in the first place.

Oh well. since I'm out of a job at the moment, it's best that I didn't spend the money anyway.

Dr. Jones1936 · Post by **Dr. Jones1936** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:56 pm

Yeah, I ordered a gunbelt with whip holder, used gas mask bag, and a strap kit originally. Then I contacted Wested via email to add a shirt to the order. Gemma got back to me quickly that they had ONE Raiders NH shirt left and asked for my size. I emailed her back immediately with the preferred size and alternative. She said thanks and she would send out the following Monday.

So, I went to the P.O. to pick up the package this morning. $\:D/$

And, as usual, Wested bummed me out again.

NO SHIRT! Of course, I emailed right away and Gemma actually answered right away. Said she sent me a reply email earlier stating that they were all out of XLs. Of course, I never received any email stating that fact.

AND if that wasn't bad enough, the bag had a name written on it in BALL POINT PEN!

Fortunately, I was able to get the ink out and now it's fine. But, I was VERY UNHAPPY.

So, anyway, if any of you fine chaps want to send me a LARGE LONG or XL NH Raiders shirt, I'll probably be okay.

Venky · Post by **Venky** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 5:07 pm

Yeah, I ordered an NH XL shirt when it was indicated to be available on the website, along with an XL ROLA shirt, NH bag strap and NH gunbelt.

All of this was ordered over a week and half ago. Then Gemma updated my order saying that the gunbelts were sold out and that she would process my order by the end of last week.

Nothing happened by Monday of this week.

Emailed for an update to the status. She responded saying it was cancelled since the items I ordered were all of a sudden out of stock!

Not happy at all.
