Wested standard zips

Post by CRB »

Hi - about to order a new custom Wested lamb, but want to know if they zip they supply as standard is brass coloured or silver like I have seen in the film. Had the pleasure of watching Raiders in HD the other day and got all ready to order the new jacket !

hi, my custom novapelle came with a heavy gauge brass zip , i think you can specify what zip you want in the special request section of the on-line order form.

Cheers, is Nickel No.5 a shiny silver or matt silver effect ? (sounds like Chanel No.5 !)

They offer choices, either antique brass or nickel. I'd suggest #5 for Raiders. Many times, the LC orders are novapelle-heavier dual tone cowhide, and the zip most commonly used is the heavier gague #8 (for the LC novapelle).

Just ask for a silver zipper, the one they put on mine is a Riri M6.
