Bill Kelso relic hunter on its way

Post by pdraycott »

Just had confirmation my relic hunter is on its way.... will post pics when it arrives.
Can’t wait .. also got a Steele & Jones last crusade jacket being made ...

Got a Wested hero in shrunken lamb ... have a feeling both jackets above will be the best of the best but will have to wait and see. :TOH:

Ack! How long ago did you guys order your jackets? It’s been 2 months for me and I haven’t gotten a shipping notice yet. I’m dying of envy!

I ordered January 19th, and their turnaround time seems to be about 2-3 months, so you're getting close! That seems like a long period to wait, especially since Wested can typically get theirs done in 3 weeks, but it's not so long. I had one order from another vendor that was a perfect jacket in the end, but I waited from June to February!

It was 10.5 weeks for me from ordering to the shipping order - I know it's tough to wait but it will come! I feel your pain.

Ordered my most recent BK on 5 Dec 17. Just got a shipping notification.

The leather I ordered ended up being out of stock and on order.

Received the jacket today. My quest for the perfect raiders jacket is over. The jacket is very well made and the leather is lovely. When spending this amount of money I was worried about the fit..but it is perfect. The sirated lamb is a great leather and the jacket is nice and light.
If anyone is on the fence about getting one of these.. I would jump right of hat fence and get placing an order.

Looks terrific! Those striations are beautiful, be sure and post some pics of it on you!
I don't think mine is in the US yet, since it's still not trackable. My last Kelso was in the mail for 3 weeks, so I'm kinda hoping that won't be the case again.

Mine just arrived (tracking number must've been incorrect,) and it's awesome! I'll post a quick review in the main Kelso thread once I take pics. :D

Hi Photoss,

Does the Relic Hunter come with underarm gussets?
