Well at least you have your jacket, right?

I see you mentioned a few days ago some issues w/ the girlfriend. Did it have to due with your gear collecting?

IJ,

Sorry to hear about your break-up, man. It's never easy, but time will heal the wounds. Keep your chin up!

On a brighter note, congrats on finally getting that long-awaited Wested!! You've been a patient man, considering all of the ordering issues. Good things DO come to those that wait! And there's nothing like the smell of a new Wested! Enjoy it!

Kind regards,
Craig

still in a foul mood. But seeing as how I now no longer have a photographer, I went out and bought a digital camera tonight. Let me know how bad these came out. Other then sleeping in it and pushing up the sleeves, I havent done anything to distress the jacket.

Still practicing the Mutt hairdo for the Supermegafest convention in Massachusetts in a few weeks. I think the back looks ok but not the front.

Post by **Holt** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 7:45 pm

the jacket looks great.

the back will look better on pictures cause the back sits more firmly on
your back.the chest on the jacket is still stiff and ''boxy'' let it mold on you.it will look the part after months of wear.

i want to do something with the collar. maybe get it wet and roll it or something. maybe i will take a full gear picture soon now that im able.

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 11:43 am

took me an entire day to realize we werent talking about the same thing Holt. I meant that my Mutt hairdo looks better from the back than from the front, then when I read your advice I thought it was just a tip on what to look forward to with my jacket lol.

Post by **Holt** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 11:47 am

I just realized myself

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 9:09 pm

is it bad to sleep in your jacket every night lol?

I sent at thank you email to Peter. I didnt want to thank Gemma but its only fair. It seems like every jacket tells the story of the owner, and mine is no different. Just happend to get mine on one of the worst nights of my year. Its so buttery soft I dont want to take it off, its like a security blanket.

Post by **Holt** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 9:16 pm

one thing is for sure..you will never forget the day you got the jacket.

Indiana Joosse · Post by **Indiana Joosse** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 4:34 am

Hey Joyce,

sorry to hear about your girlfriend.

But hey, the jacket arrived!

Looks great on you man!

By the way, I remember you posting that you had male pattern baldness? Well from the look of those photographs you have a full head of hair. So what are you complaining about?

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:04 am

its the lighting. remind me to take a pic of the top of my head while standing directly under a lamp. basically this mutt costume will work for one year and after that i look like mutt in his 30's.

gwyddion · Post by **gwyddion** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 9:02 am

Pfff... can't stay away for a weekend without loads of stuff happening

Joyce, I am glad to hear your jacket has finaly turned-up and it looks great on you. Now wear it as much as you can.

I am also sad to hear of your Girl-friend

My sympathies my friend, and I hope you will soon find your way again and are able to see things possitive again.

Regards, Geert

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 5:43 pm

I sent Peter and Gemma a thank you note about the order. Circumstances being what they are I had to mention my status but played heavily on the fact that I do adore this jacket(this is so my security blanket now).

This is the response she sent:
Dear Adam,
Many thanks for letting me no you have received your jacket and how pleased you are,how strange is that getting the jacket the same day that your girlfriend left you.
At least you have a lovely new jacket to remember the date by now.
Take Care Gemma

Thanks Gemma. As great as the jacket is, and the fact that yeah it does hold me at night, its not the same thing.

JC1972 · Post by **JC1972** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:20 pm

Hey Joyce,
The jacket looks great! Enjoy my friend. So sorry again to hear about your girlfriend. Just keep your chin up. Always remember, better days are ahead.

PS I like the Millenium Falcon you got in the background; is that vintage? I see the new one out in the stores but don't feel like paying $127+ (Target has it on sale this week). Beside I have no room and my wife won't be happy me spending that much for something we don't need now.

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Mon Nov 10, 2008 8:45 pm

So I plan on letting it distress as naturally as possible...but lately my love of TOD has grown to the point that I want to keep the jacket looking inbetween Temple and Crusade so I can do both costumes. Like Empire and Jedi with Vader, the suits are very similar and only really obvious to the well trained eyes of some of you. If I were to do a Raiders well I would have to get a whole new gunbelt, jacket, hat and whip. For starters lol.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Sat Nov 15, 2008 11:57 pm

Okay, according the tracking number Gemma gave me, my jacket is now in the US! However, it says it was delivered to the US Customs agency or whatever, and then the last update from the US customs (posted an hour and a half after it arrived in the US) says "attempted delivery." Does anyone know what that means? What do they mean by "attempted?"

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:36 am

Sounds like they went to drop it off and you werent in. They need a signature and they need money for customs. My jacket cost an additional 25 bucks.

crismans · Post by **crismans** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 12:19 pm

Indy Joyce, first of all, the jacket looks really good and, from what I hear of the Novapelle, it will only get better.

I'm sorry for the circumstances that it was delivered, but maybe it came late so that you would have that to help you through your bad times. I've had my heart ripped out and sauteed on three separate occasions. Going through it, you think it will never end. But it does, and you never know what good things are around the corner. If I had stayed with any of those three hags, then I would never have found my wife and had my daughter.

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 3:29 pm

First time in full gear. I'll post the rest of the shots in the appropriate thread, but I thought I'd share one or two here first.

I did the wet sleeve wrinkle yesterday. I had to drive over an hour to get to an event so right before I left I ran the sleeves under cold water, pushed them up my arms and drove to Concord NH.

I am sure that is not it. It would take more than an hour and a half to get from New York to MN. Right now it says it is being "HELD" which looks like bad news. Last time they held it they had it for about 2 weeks and charged me $26 something for it. Hopefully that is not the case since this jacket was an exchange.

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:08 pm

Well hopefully it works out for you, and tomorrow you get your jacket. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 12:59 pm

Thanks Joyce! Cause it came today! WOOO HOOO!!! It is such an awesome jacket! And it fits perfect!!!

Indiana Strones · Post by **Indiana Strones** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 2:16 pm

Pics please! ;-)

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 6:48 pm

Yes, please post pics!

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 5:23 pm

Here's some pics I just took... I can't get any good photos from outside cause it is much to cloudy... and cold.

I must say, I couldn't possibly be any happier with this jacket! It is perfect!!! I just love the fit and feel of the washed goat leather!

Post by **Holt** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 5:24 pm

now that looks great on you.

very nice jacket and fit!

Indiana Joyce · Post by **Indiana Joyce** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 6:36 pm

That is a great fit. Looks better on you than this style does on me, because you are slim and I am bell shaped lol. Glad you like it!

Cold? C'mon, this was all Indy wore in Nepal...

But seriously great jacket, looks good on you.

Now smile for the camera next time, will you?

Yeah, turn that frown upside down

Hatch · Post by **Hatch** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:39 am

Yeah, but in Nepal Indy got inside pretty quickly where there was a lot of drinking and a GOOD fire, along with Marion..........

Indiana Strones · Post by **Indiana Strones** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:46 am

Yes, nothing like a good fire when it's very cold...

Texan Scott · Post by **Texan Scott** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:00 pm

Holt answered a question about Wested order sizes, and thought I'd post it here. He said that when ordering a Custom, the custom is cut 5 inches larger in the chest, than the size you normally report, like a 42 or 44, etc.

The Standard is cut 4 inches larger.

You might want to specify 4 extra inches for instance, when ordering a custom.

Imahomer · Post by **Imahomer** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:39 pm

Nice looking jackets guys.

Tibor · Post by **Tibor** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 11:46 pm

Hey Indiana Joyce,

Great pics in your gear. If the German mechanic had seen you coming he'd have run straight for the machine gun. Awesome jacket.

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:58 am

I post here my questions without open a new topic.

I've write Wested Holt's LC jacket specs and some other doubts for a jacket and other stuff I'll order in January.
Gemma reply to my mail (after TEN days) answering only one of my questions!

I write here my other questions for anyone who have time to clear my doubts. ;-)
- How much is the total cost of the jacket with special specs?
- Can I pay you with PayPal?
- Shipping (for ordering all this items) is free for Italy? I ask this because I see this into your online shop: adding this objects to cart the shipping cost for Europe is £0.00.

Many thanks to all can answer my three questions and happy Xmas to all!

JimL · Post by **JimL** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 1:22 pm

You can pay with PayPal. You need to let them know ahead of time so they know it's coming. i THINK it is wested@wested.com for PayPal payment, but don't quote me on that!

I can't help with the other questions...

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 1:27 pm

Thank you very much! ;-)
Now...two questions left!

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 2:50 pm

Gosh! I was trying to simulate my items and jacket PayPal checkout on Wested site and...I've bought all! I'm "lucky" because I was simulate items with all the correct measures and specs but...what a mistake!

I would have preferred to order all items in January and not now...but, at this point, I'm trapped...

I've send the special Holt's LC specs by mail and not in the form on the shop because...the shop form doesn't have enough space to type all the specs!
Now I truly hope that Gemma read my specs mail...

I'm a bit worried...hope all go in the right direction!

gwyddion · Post by **gwyddion** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 2:56 pm

You should call them: that way you can make sure they got your e-mail and make sure it gets connected to your order.

Regards, Geert

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 3:09 pm

Into my e-mail I've wrote mi name and, more important, my order number.
But yes, you're right, I would have to telephone they...but I'm very very dumb at speech english, I only write it a little...

If possible, can I ask a very big help from COW members?
Can anyone of english language call Wested for me and confirm my mail was associated to my order?
If anyone can make this ENORMOUS favor for me, please send me a PM.

Anyway, thanks to all for help and answers! ;-)

Post by **Holt** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 3:45 pm

just in case.

you can send Gemma all your specs via email.

she likes to have them on mail.she then prints them out and gives them to her cutter,all after you have confirmed the specs...

send to Gemma@wested.com

or wested@wested.com

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 3:53 pm

Yes, thank you Holt, it's exactly what I've done! ;-)
I've sent an e-mail at Gemma personal address with my name, order number and all the specs.
My only doubt is that they receive the mail due to they "creative" firewall...

BazzanoJones · Post by **BazzanoJones** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 8:17 am

All ok! Gemma received my special specs associated with my order!

Now the waiting time, that will seem eternal...

But, when package will arrive, I'll own from a moment to another a quite complete Wested Indy appareal: LC jacket Holt's specs, pants, web belt, shirt and real new MKVII!

Waiting frenzy begin...

PS. One of the probable causes of the lacked mail answers by Wested was the typing of the mail address itself.
I see order confirm mail from Wested have the first capital letter (Wested@wested.com).
When I've write the mail in this way Gemma answered me within few minutes.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 1:43 am

Yeah, I know this is an old thread... but with the current exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Pound, it might be time to get another Wested.

Right now I am looking at getting a Raiders in Dark Brown Lambskin. Nothing custom about it, except I need it in a 42L.

I started filling out the order form thing on the Wested web site, and the exact options for sleeve and back length that I want are not there. So should I just put those in the little special requests box? And then maybe shoot off an e-mail to Gemma and Peter to make sure those are the measurements I get?

Also, honestly, I hate that I have to pay a lot more for a size 42L, just because it isn't an "off the peg" option. But I have to get the 42L since it fits be best.

Russian Raider · Post by **Russian Raider** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:49 am

Put them in special requests box and call Gemma afterwards.

gwyddion · Post by **gwyddion** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 9:52 am

hey jnicktem, What sleeve length and back length do you need?

St. Dumas · Post by **St. Dumas** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 11:12 am

Does Wested still e-mail customers shipping numbers so we can track the dispatched jackets on Parcelforce?

Tyrloch · Post by **Tyrloch** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 12:20 pm

SD,

If you ask for one, yes. If you don't email Gemma & request it, then you probably won't get it.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 12:23 pm

I'm I the only one who can't get to the Wested website right now? I have been getting the "Page Not Found" when I click on the "Enter the World of Wested" link.

gwyddion, I cannot remember the measurements off the top of my head, but they are the same as a 42L (as shown in the sizing chart on Wested's web site... which I can't get right now).
