Just got my first Indy Jacket
After pondering about which jacket to get, I finally took the plunge and went for a Wested Raiders.
I was looking through Wested website seeing which I prefered and whilst looking in the clearance section noticed that there was an unpaid for custom Raiders in Dark brown cow hide with my exact measurments!!!
Gasping for breath and reaching for the laptop, I checked it was still available and ordered. This was yesterday.
It only turned up this morning!!!
When I ripped the package apart and took at look at it I was really chuffed . It also fits perfectly..I'm so happy with it, not only as an Indy Jacket, but also as regular jacket...
As far as the SA'ness of it asll, I'm not really sure what the details of it are, just that the size was perfect.
So, here it is, just a quick snap of my first raiders jacket.....be nice..

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Looks great to me! Great colour too! (As for SA, I am not the one to comment as I am not into completely "Screen Accurate", more "Screen Close-Enough" )
I may have to save my pennies for a Wested later this year.
I recently bought the Stonewashed Denim version of the Raiders jacket from Wested as I wanted a lighter jacket that I could wear in warmer weather and I absolutely love it, so at least I know that if the leather version has the same measurements "Off The rack" as the Denim version then I will be happy)

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
MAN that's a nice looking jacket!
What I find 'lacking' in a lot of jackets these days has been the shoulder seams are usually too far apart, essentially sagging off the actual point of the shoulder.
YOURS, on the other hand, are sitting exactly where they're supposed to....giving it a true tailored look.
Yep. Ya done good! Hang onto that one!
HIGH regards! Michaelson

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Looks awesome! The general fit really does look like it was tailor made just for you. I feel the same way about the one I bought off the Cairo Bizzarre. It was a used and when I put it on it felt as if it was tailor made for me. Have fun wearing it and use it for EVERYTHING! Congrats...

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
I will post my usual plea though....do NOT practice the 'black art' of distressing! It WILL age nicely from regular use. Let it age on it's own.
Ok. That's out of the way now....

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
You know, that is so true. It's hard to get a jacket that properly fits in the shoulders any more. This one looks spot on in the shoulder measurements. Nicely done!

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Awesome jacket, it fits you perfectly...ENJOY!
I'm in the non-pre-distressed camp (at least when it comes to my jackets), though I've seen some beautiful pre-distressing on some of the jackets shown here on COW. I just figure hey, Indy's jacket must've seen many adventures to look that beaten up, so I'm not being gentle with mine at all. For instance, I'm at work, at my desk, with my jacket UNDER said desk, with my boots sitting on top of it. Plus we're supposed to get heavy rain later, so it may get a shower as well! And winter, oh boy, I won't even go there...

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Is 'chuffed' a good thing? Defering to Dave...'if you've ever been 'chuffed' you know how painful that can be!'
Nothing like a jacket that fits well. I have a copper novapelle and it is a keeper also. Hope you get plenty of adventuring wear out of this one.

also glad to see 'chuffed' on the boards. We don't use that word a lot in Canada, but it does get used --- meaning to be pleased or happy....as opposed to 'chaffed' which is something completely different.

I've always been curious about Wested's undistressed cowhide. You don't see a lot of those on this forum. Looks like a nice hide.

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Looks like a great fit, love the sleeve to torso ratio on this one, you don't see them that correct on these so you definitely have a keeper there!
Oh, and don't listen to these non-distressing blokes, their shiney new jackets look all stuffy. beat the @#$% outta that thing, rub it down w/ alcohol, get it nice and wet, ball it up in a corner, sit on it, walk on it... do as much as you can to get that looking like a proper indy jacket!

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
You know, I have my father's old leather jacket from the army days. He was a paratrooper but he 'acquired' an American A-2. As a kid I loved that jacket. He gave it to me when I was in my twenties in the nineties - the cool thing about the jacket - well the collar is pretty worn-out, but the real cool thing is the arm of the jacket on the driver's side. It is so much more faded than the right side. It's from his truck driving days in the 50's. Very cool natural distressing.

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
I've learned as I've grown older that when big words are used, I just smile knowingly, then move on, as I KNOW I'll NEVER find an opportunity to use them myself. Every time I've tried, I get blank stares, and you spend more time explaining definitions than trying to get your original point across ....but we digress......

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
...what is digress?
Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Thanks for all your nice comments!!
I really still can't believe the way it fits.....CHUFFED!!
I guess the shoulder width is just luck that it fits the way it does. The dude who ordered it must be exactly the same build as me. The shoulder width isn't requested on the custom form though.
This is defo a spreading obsession. First it was just the hat now the jacket and the hat. I can only assume that it'll go further in the not too distant future. Aside from being Indy gear, it's also great general attire for simply 'swanning' around in.
I just need the weather too cool off slightly now so that I can wear it.
Michaelson: I have NO intensions of disstressing the jacket (Sorry Tennessee Smith ) - I just couldn't do it. I want to wear it as a 'to go' jacket and not just as gear. Let nature take it's course.
If you require any more British colloquialisms, just ask.

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Thanks again
Despite the warm weather here, I decided I'd take this baby for a spin today. It needs breaking in slightly as the leather is a little stiff, but I do love the smell of leather in the morning.
I guess I should have more photos of me wearing it taken, but the the little un' is too young to take em and if I ask the wife, she'll just go...'Hang on......are you dressing up as Indiana Jones?'
Here's another one I took.

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
How do you like those tapered sleeves? Your jacket looks like it was made by the same employee that made my horsehide, right down to the sleeves and pocket flaps. From the photo, it looks like that right flap is a little a-symetrical, just like mine. Is that the case? Great looking jacket, though. The body on mine is identical. I think mine is a bith shorter, though, at 23.5". I've got tapered cuffs on my horsehide and, though I was disappointed with them a little at first, I've come to really like them because they don't drape all over my hands when I'm doing stuff. I think they actually look better now, too. Enjoy the jacket. I'm sure it will last years. Mine are hard worked and hold up nice. Wested leathers certainly aren't the kind you have to pamper. They could probably make cush, all-weather lawn furniture out of their horsehide.

Actually, both pocket flaps are slightly asymetrical, but the photo exaggerates it on the right one. I wouldn't have noticed though unless you'd pointed it out.
Looking forward to living in it over the cooler months here in the UK.
Ian
Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
sorry to point out the flaps. If it makes you feel better, just tell yourself the guy that cut those out must think that's the way they're supposed to look, because he did one of mine the same exact way. The sleeves and body are identical, too.
But your jacket looks awesome, so be happy with that.

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Good find Ian!!
The jacket looks great on you.
My first transaction with Wested was the same as yours.
Spotted a unpaid special order in the clearance section that was made for me.
Cool thing about the jackets in that section is you never know what you are going to get (as it is usually someone elses custom specs).
My Standard raiders in authentic lamb came with a v shaped back panel, no inner facings, a full satin liner and a #8 brass zipper. (It's sort of a cross between a standard Raiders and the special offer ROLA)
(I later emailed Gemma for more details and was informed that there were no special requests made for the jacket. )
Any hoo, it fits great, looks nice and saved me a few bucks to boot.

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
You guys are right! There is nothing like the first time! I remember when I received that first Indy jacket! I was, well...chuffed...er.....jazzed....stoked....pumped...flying high, or otherwise elated!
There really is only one first!
Now wear the bo jangles out of it!

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
As far as Indy jackets go; I wouldn't know a special request if it slapped me in the face. Much like Texan Scott, I'm still trying to get my head around all the new jargon I've been learning in the jackets forums.
I will/am wearing the Jerry Jeff Walker out of it..
How long does it take to soften up a bit?

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Well, they say 'start like you mean to go on'.
So, I ordered another Wested, this time a LC/CS in Novapelle to the same sizes...
I know not my first, but I thought to economise, I'd post here again...
So, my second Indy jacket...

Re: Just got my first Indy Jacket
Those are really nice jackets! Wear them and wear them and wear them. Wested can and does make a great jacket, I've never owned one, actually I'm still waiting on getting my first Indy jacket, but I've seen alot of pictures of jackets on this board and your is way nice. I know what you mean about the shoulder thing too, clothes are cut weird nowadays. I still say there's nothing like a good bovinehide (cow, steer, calf, bull, whatever).
