If the leather has been cut but not sewn they can't delete a second pocket?

What's considered a 'long' in these. The back length of the movie jacket was apparently 26"orb wrote:I'm sorry that you haven't received yours in time Tyrloch.
Just call them! I have wrote them 5 Emails about canceling the second inner pocket. No reply. What size have you ordered? I just went again for a 40 Long.

A 40 Long is with 26 Inch Back length according to the Wested Sizing Guide. However I meant my jacket is like a 40 long. So no special sizing.RCSignals wrote:What's considered a 'long' in these.

ah OK I understand. The ToD is so different I never really associated the chart with it. a Raiders with 26" back length would be a 'long'orb wrote:A 40 Long is with 26 Inch Back length according to the Wested Sizing Guide.

I think they ment the lining has been cut. if the lining is cut with a second inner pocket they cant cancell it...RCSignals wrote:orb wrote:I just called Gemma about the status of my Washed Goat TOD Order.

I got an email from Gemma late this morning apologizing for the lack of responses to emails, and for the hold-up with my order. It seems they ran out of the DB goat, and are expecting a shipment of hides this coming Tues. The one thing I don't quite understand is she wrote that coming in the shipment were Washed Goatskins and Standard Goatskins -- is that DB Goat or Auth. Brown Goat? She didn't specify, so now I don't know if I'm going to be able to get my order filled as I had originally wanted, or if I'll have to switch to Auth. Goat...

I have already begun distressing mine, so i doubt they will take it back. I did notice something when i was distressing it... the stitching on the back across the shoulders isnt even straight!! I am VERY disappointed with Wested. They REALLY dropped the ball with my jacketKevin Anderson wrote:See, that flap is perfect. It's absurd that Knibs' was sent out the way it was. Once again, if it were mine, I'd send it back.

You can make it look the same by taking the stitching out ;-)knibs7 wrote:can you tell me how to do this? ThanksMac wrote:Knibs the fit and the jacket look good. As for the end of the collar stand, I wouldn’t loose any sleep over it, but if you want more “screen accuracy” try the hot-water stretch trick (and maybe a seam ripper.)

For anyone who saw the NH jacket, did it look like that collar stand end was just sewn with the pieces back to back and raw cut edge out or was the cut edge folded back in as it is on Knibs' ?
This is getting unnecessarily complicated. KT can correct me if I'm wrong, but Peter never offered hides described as "dark brown goat", "authentic brown goat", "soft goat" and "washed goat" all at the same time. The second last batch of regular goat Peter offered was thicker than the most recent batch. Then after that thicker batch ran out, he offered the thinner stock. While he still had the thinner batch available he started offering washed goat, so for awhile there were two types of goat available. There was no separate batch of "soft goat"
Again, if anyone actually knows differently, please speak up.

The stitching under the stormflap of my TOD jacket isn't also very straight. But I think they should really get some better quality control.knibs7 wrote:I have already begun distressing mine, so i doubt they will take it back.

Check back to page 6 of this thread -- Peter mentions Dark Brown Goat, Auth. Goat and Washed Goat all in the same post. The only one not mentioned is the soft goat. So I believe that they've always offered the DB & the Auth., then they added the Washed Goat. So it would seem that they offered all 3 of these at the same time...

I cancelled my order all together. I don't want to play this lottery anymore. To bad this keeps happening with the stitching. I am not as concerned with the details as much as I am about construction. I hate to be dissapointed with gear. That is why I took my money elsewhere..
Now if I buy more than one of the same jacket its because I love it so much not because I am trying to get a "good one"

I was referring to stretching the collar stand end to the shape you like by using hot water. It's the same method as described in this thread for pocket flaps:knibs7 wrote:can you tell me how to do this?

I really wouldn’t bother with the seam ripper unless you’re a ruthless Stitch Nazi. ;-)

Well, unfortunately it was as I thought -- here's Gemma's reply:
Dear Jace,
The standard brown goatskin is the authentic brown as we dont offer the dark brown now.
Cheers Gemma
So, they're not getting any more DB goat anytime soon it seems. I've now had to switch my order to Dark Brown to this. Anyone have any idea how to darken up an authentic brown-colored jacket?

I've never seen the Auth. goat or lamb in person, only the DB versions and the Washed Goat. It's just that it looks sort of medium brown in some pics posted here -- I wanted that so-brown-it's-almost-black shade of brown...I'll keep my fingers crossed that the Auth. Brown Goat is dark enough for me...
~Jace
~Jace
Orb,
Is your Auth. Lamb as dark as it looks in this pic? Is the Auth. Goat not as dark as the Auth. Lamb? Look at Whiskyman's pic is this post:
viewtopic.php?t=34863
Your Auth. Lamb looks darker than both of those jackets!!
~Jace
Orb/RC,
Thanks for the reassurance -- I was having difficulties dealing with the fact that Wested was not going to be getting any more DB Goatskin anytime soon. I still had them change my order to the Auth. Brown, but I was already thinking of ways to darken it up myself. But if that's a pretty accurate pic, then I should be happy enough, thanks again for the help!

This is the color of the auth. lamb with lightning.

However it's my second jacket in auth. lambskin and this hide was always like a chamaleon IMO.

Not sure if I'm understanding the question correcty, but what I did was specify DB goat in the special requests box for both jackets. I then followed up with an email to Gemma to make sure she saw it, and that she knew that Peter said he had the hides. This was after Peter posted on the board that he had some of it left. I suppose that either my request got lost in the shuffle, or that they ran out of the DB Goat before my order came up...

Re: Wested TOD arrived!
Yesterday I got my second Wested TOD Jacket. This time I went with the washed goat.
Wait Time was nearly 8 weeks. I got some lightly visible backbone mark on the back of the jacket.
But I'm gonna to distress the jacket very soon so no big deal. Everything else is correct like on my auth. Lambskin TOD jacket.
So I got the correct vents, stormflap end and original hardware too. Pictures soon.

Re: Wested TOD arrived!
Nah I just wanted a washed goat and a second TOD makes sense for me because it was the safest way to go.
Now I just need to wait for my TN LC jacket and I'm done with Indy jackets. OK till Indy5 arrives.
