Going to visit Wested Leather Co in November
Hey all. Today a friend and myself have ordered tickets for a Gorillaz concert in London. We did that because the gig in Belgium was sold out in a matter of hours and we felt out of the boat.
So we thought, why not go to London for a couple of days and see the gig there? And we have some time to spare to take the train and go to Swanley to visit the Wested Leather Company. It's time for a new jacket and why not go there in person? I'm in the neighborhood so...
I'm already looking forward to this. What excites me more? The Gorillaz concert or Peter's jacket shop? I have no idea!

If you're going to get a Wested, going directly to the source is the BEST way to do it!

If you go, get a train form Victoria Station to Swanley, and fromthe station get a taxi to Wested shop.
The landscape is nice, a narrow road completes scenery. And Peter is a very gentle person.
Enjoy

He'll even give you a ride back to the train station! He's a very good host and his shop is awesome! Have fun!

Re: Going to visit Wested Leather Co in November
Has ANYONE heard any info of Peter's 'Hero' jacket that he was discussing months ago ??.......Please see if you can get any info or if it has been tabled........
Re: Going to visit Wested Leather Co in November
I know this is blasphemy, but I'd like to see Peter make a Surrogates style jacket in goat at a good Wested price. Since everyone is copying everyone else's jacket, why not? And I (and others) could afford a Wested version.

Re: Going to visit Wested Leather Co in November
thanks for the tips to get there guys. I'm really looking forward to it. I just can't wait and see what this novapelle is about.
Surrogates? Is that the movie with bruce wilis?
I think Peter should also make a House MD jacket. That looks great. I saw one vendor online who sells from the original maker. I think it's about 600 or 700 dollars for one of those. That's a bit over the top!

A nice sweaty Gorillaz gig will be a great way to start breaking your new jacket in.

I'm heading there myself this Monday since I'm in the US Air Force in England, and Monday is a US holiday.

Tony Nowak created the Surrogates jacket.
EDIT I just now got that that was probably a joke... I should go to bed now...

Photoss, I keep staring at your avatar and it never falls over... does that mean I'm dreaming?
Alright, back on topic:
Peter designed the Crystal Skull Jacket OR SOMETHING OR OTHER...

Re: Going to visit Wested Leather Co in November
Cool! I here the proprietor is a great host and he may have had something to do with some of the film jackets!
