Hey Great looking jacket man, best pic of authentic brown leather I've seen!

do those pics accurately represent the color you see in real life? Any of you who own an authentic color jacket?

My friend, only leather samples represent accurately the colour
Neither in the film we can see the "real" colour of indyjacket, if you know what i mean

Anyway i'll take pics also in other light conditions sooner or later so you can compare

IMO .... yes. The authentic can look and photograph dark in different lighting. Case in point, the movie! I was tempted by the dark side but could not have been more pleased when my authentic lamb arrived.

That jacket looks great on you Erri.

As I already mentioned Erri. You should change your name to Indy Wan now

no one would recognize me i think... i wonder how you english people read "Erri" lol.

Some more pics which i posted also in the hat thread





A LITTLE ADVICE for who buy an 80's fit wested... get all satin!!!!! Cotton body is useless in an 80's fit because the jacket is tight already, it wont surely slip off of your shoulders.
With cotton you only get bad electrostatic lightning (Palpatine style) when you go out of the car and touch metal stuff. it's a pain in the arse. i hate it
and your epaulettes bend over under the jacket... probably with satin body this wouldnt happen. I'll keep this in mind for the next jacket

Jacket looks good. Dont take this as insult, but with the lighting in the last picture it looks like an action figure!

Ken

erri,
That top hat picture looks awesome! -Great hat!
The bottom picture is a bit overexposed. I had to put on sunglasses to look at it.

You get it with satin too. Been there, done that, have the fried, uh, electrodes to prove it!

Looking good Erri-Wan Those sleeves will be perfect once the creases settle in Rest of the gear has come along very well too

Ahahahah :lol::lol::lol:, non taken very funny.

Thank you guys. The last picture was really overlighted but i liked the "THX-1130' 's effect

The second pic looks like you're kissing somebody.

Tomorrow.

Well first i put the ones i have (which are too long for my feet) For Sale. So i'll get some money for a better fitting pair of Aldens

PS the Italian shop will have aldens only after September

Does that buckle look SQUARE to anyone else?

Great looking jacket, erri!

Ahahah

Thank you Dekker

It looks amazingly unshiny for being brand new. (which is good) Guess it's just because it's not a close up.

IndyDoc wrote:It looks amazingly unshiny for being brand new.

It travelled a lot that would explain it i think

Anyawy yes it's still a bit shiny but not too much

Mine's still a bit shiney it's nearly 7 months old and I've been wearing it nearly every day. It's been rained on and even snowed on a bit. I must not stay outside for long enough! (Thank you Strider, .... no I don't want any sandpaper... no really. But thank you anyway!)

That's a great looking jacket! The fit looks exact like mine on me!

BTW- The Wested I got is three YEARS old and it still is shiny!!!

Try going under a truck!

Ohhhh! Crushed!!!
;(

Kt

Ah man Tone, talk about bad luck. When I first looked at that pic I said he's got the smaller Raiders yoke, cool! It look a minute before I noticed that the sleeve really are misaligned. The right looks about 3/4" or so off. But that left side looks about 1-1/2" off. Well, at least you've got your trusty old lamb.

OH no!!!

It's ok you posted it here Tone, of course i don't mind... heck it's such a shame!!! I just changed the title of the thread

Indiana_Tone wrote:Thanks, Erri. Oh wait! I just read the title! A bit too dramatic. You can uh....change it back....please.

I'm Italian... i love drama! I keep it

and i can't remember the old one

It's good that the sleeves are perfect. When i received mine they just forgot to "close a seam" but i did it by myself. Maybe they must pay more attention about these "details"

Doh! Sorry to hear that Tone.

Looking at your guys new jackets brings me to the question of, is Wested making the back yolk wide enoght to meet the sleave seam now?

Seems like a while ago the back yolk wasn't wide enough to reach the sleeve seam and the reason was it made it too thick and hard to sew.

Looks like you both got a yolk that does meet the sleave seam. Did you have to request that or is that how it is now days?

Man, that *****! I'm sorry to hear that. When I saw what had happened to you, I checked my new goat for the same issue, but thankfully, it wasn't there. I wonder why I have been able to avoid ever having to send a jacket back to Wested. I've only had to send my hat to Steve for re-blocks or re-sizing. I hope it comes back the way you want it, Tone.

erri_wan wrote:i can't remember the old one

It was "Ordered a Wested Jacket...".

Really good news then ! I'm happy for you Tone, i'll be waiting for new pics then :D:D:D

Well Tone, mate, I for one breathed a big sigh of relief at your news. It's good to hear you have the jacket you want now.

Stay away from the sandpaper

Patience, it is worth the wait, "TRUST ME"....

erri_wan, that set-up looks amazing. I fits you perfectly. I can't wait to see the progress on the collection.
