Man, THAT was a lifetime ago. His lambskin was 'summer weight', and his pre-distressed cowhide his winter weight. That was it.

Regards! Michaelson

Whipcracker, Holt, Smith and S,

Thanks guys... will be in contact!!!

Keep safe and be careful, tekors... It seems from the news tonight that things just might get ugly after the disappointment of Mubarak's TV speech...

Be safe... and Good Luck.

Thanks Mitch and Jens,
Will do my best... to not get shot

cheers

Looks like the president of Egypt has just quit.

Yes,

I was walking after leaving the Bureau... and then they announced his resignation. Then, a group of youth, guys and girls, i n several car saw me... and offered me a ride...and we got caught in the heavy traffic with celebration and joy... Egyptian flags everywhere.

So, that became my story... the youth right there in the car....

The city is like a World Cup celebration. Amazing!!!

Holy smokes, tektors, I just saw this. I am so glad you are safe. That's too bad about the jacket, but as it was mentioned earlier, better the jacket than you! It makes a very unique memento of these recent events, though. Take care!

Hey guys,

Just to tell you I got back form Cairo yesterday in one piece and had the pleasure to witness a historical moment of a revolution.
Some minutes ago I was with Peter over the phone and we settled the payment for my new Wested Raiders in soft goatskin. Since I asked for some specs, I paid a bit more.

So, now "I am holding on to my potatoes" and waiting for a few days to have my new jacket.
oki doki!!! Can't wait to have it!!!

regards

Glad you're back and safe & sound, teko!
(Also a little jealous that you had that amazing "front row seat" to such an historic moment!)


Can't wait to see your new leather!

Hey Mitch,
I appreciate your words. Yeah, now I a in "anxious" mode... to see my new skin.

You have 1 #### of a story now.

Incidentally, this speaks to the wide and varied diversity in backgrounds found on this forum. Its like, wearing the jacket in public is one of those badges that are either known or not, if one knows what to look for. One never knows where we might be lurking.....

Well said

tekors,

I'm just now catching up on some of these threads, but...WOW, what a real life adventure! Now, that's what I'm talking about! ....the extremes that some guys will go to for a more screen accurate leather jacket.... You even managed to get shot on the left arm.

...just kidding, tekors! Glad to know that you made it out and back again safe and sound. Is there still unrest over there?

Here's to your courage in the line of duty.

Hey Texan,

Well, I am an advocate of natural distressing (ok, not all natural, shower and sandpaper in small key areas) but that was too much oa natural way of distress the jacket...
Next time I will get under a truck to be dragged ...

Yes, things in egypt are back to normal. No it's Libya the mess.
No new adventures for me for a while, until... uh... next week

regards

But it feels as if the situation could deteriorate in Egypt in a wink. Hopefully not though.

Yeah, coming from the Mideast, anything can happen...

Guys, let's suppose Peter shipped my jacket thru DHL on friday. Do you know how long does it take to arrive?
Any of you got a jacket from him lately?

I am trying to have patience..

In light of current events, maybe you should borrow the plymouth for awhile, no?

He might have a chance.

Really?????

Yeah but does the Plymouth have A/C?



Forget a Nuclear Blast he's in Egypt, I'd want A/C.

Nope. I guess that means you walk, TS.

Well, on second thought it does have the 4/40 A/C to consider. I mean it worked on my '67 Mustang.

Or get a horse...
not camels..

Unless they are for his cousin, that's the only exception.

yes, hehe

Actually, it has 4 wing vents and a hood vent too, so it would be a 9/40/A/C.

...on the other hand, maybe there are overly critical of Westeds in Egypt...?

Guys,

I finally got my new Wested in goatskin.
