Since Wested's trousers are made of 100 pc wool cavalry twill and resemble Last Crusade pants, I ordered the Last Crusade jacket, but with a twist. It would be customized and made to specs, so it was back to basics for me, as the choice of skin was authentic lamb. Essentially, the look and config. of Wested's pants caused me to opt for LC, which is a logical pairing. This option of going custom added more value to the order, as I had always wanted to receive an accurate copy of the Last Crusade jacket from the original maker. Most all the requests in specs. were complied with by his technicians.
The shirt has often been a topic, and suffice it to say that in other countries of the world, like Australia for instance, their version of khaki is a greenish tint. The Wested shirt is made of a light weight fabric, just as an Indy shirt should be, and it has a slight, greenish hue. Of course, with the increasing popularity of close enoughs, the initial SA shock is easily circumvented. Other features that we have grown accustomed to in a shirt of this type are the vertical pleats on both sides and the rather large epaulets. This can be fixed with "X" or box stitches on both epaulets near the shoulder seams. I have to say that for me, it is a very comfortable fitting shirt, and reminiscent of adventure gear that we have come to rely on, as the fit overcame the initial shortcomings in detail, but hopefully the specs will be improved upon in the near future. The fit was true to OTR size, and is slightly tapered, similiar to an athletic cut. Recently, color corrected photos of the Raider's screen shirt have been posted and discussed, and even with the color corrected stills, the Hero shirt appears to be a lighter color on the brown scale, rather than a lighter version of the gray or green scale. The shirt is definitely a lighter version of khaki and was meant to contrast with the darker, taupe colored pants.
In other threads, I have viewed and reviewed comparison photos of Wested's trousers, mostly side by side with either the NH/MBA or the new, Todd's pants. The still image of Indy with diary in hand, walking up the steps and into harms way, attempting to circumvent the three traps (the repentant man shall pass scene), immediately came to mind, mostly due to the configuration of the pocket flaps, color and fit of these trousers. Waist is true to OTR sizing, and the crotch is not too low (which can cause irritation to the skin). The Wested's are unhemmed, so I will need to find a seamstess for the delicate job of stitching the correct, four inch military hem.
Bonus gear to add to your many adventures in the future include the web belt and brass buckle. The belt is made of a coarse, durable material, similiar in color to the screen used web belt for LC and CS, and the buckle appears to be made of solid metal, itching to be put through some excursions that will be indelibly etched into the mind's eye forever.
All in all, details matter to a certain extent, but for the most part, I was very pleased with the order, and I give the items as received, collectively an 8/10. If you wish to get a jump start on your collection of the gear, the Wested Combo Deal is a viable option, and you can make it particularly Last Crusade oriented. Noteworthy articles include the jacket and pants. (pics to follow)
Dude, you must have the most gear ever!!
