postal workers dont work during weekends do they?
at least i dont think they do here.

Posted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 9:46 am**

Well no, but they didn't do anything yesterday either. Maybe they're waiting for a boat to Finland.

Posted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 10:13 am**

aren't they sent by plane?

Posted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 10:15 am**

I dunno.

Posted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 1:27 pm**

I believe it's air freight too. Do not fret, VeePee - soon, you will hold that Wested in your hands.

As soon as the mail terminal staff tires of trying it on and decides to send it to you...

Today at 8:30 AM a yellow delivery truck came to our house and rang the bell. A beautiful Raiders Authentic Lamb, brand new. Perfect fit. And they didn't even miss anything.

Here's some pics. Click to enlarge.

A cool plastic bag.

Great jacket! Congrats.

Was there any particular reason you wanted the gussets?

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 4:08 am**

I think that they look cool.

Sweet jacket, VP! Now... break out the acetone...

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 5:56 am**

Nah, I prefer the smell of leather.

V.P. TOSI HYVÄN NÄKÖNEN ROTSI!

Ktos. Wested told me that they have shipped "only about two" jackets to Finland before mine.

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:15 am**

Good stuff VP. congrats! hope mine fits...if yours fits perfectly with a size up i hope mine fits with no sizes up...but one persons perfect fit differs from others i suppose. i like a moer form fitting jacket.

Also...does wested send an email when they've finished the jacket and are sending it? they dont just keep quiet and send it without notification do they?

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:22 am**

looks like it fits you very well!
Every time I see pictures of a new jacket It reminds me of how old mine looks.

They'll email you and tell the tracking number for Parcelforce.

Awesome jacket. Thanks for the pics. Congrats VP. It really is a great feeling isn't it?

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:37 am**

Ayup.

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 10:46 am**

It looks great! Everytime I see a new Wested I want to order one.

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 12:32 pm**

Hah, I wondered why you had I jacket on in your new avatar.

Congrats!

Great Jacket VP, congrats on a super addition to your gear.

Have a great day,

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 2:39 pm**

VP, congratulations. The jacket looks awesome.

It brings back memories of when I have received packages from Wested in the past.

BTW, glad the jacket fits, and I also like your avatar.

A thing of beauty! Congrats

Posted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 4:30 pm**

Congratulations on the arrival of the best piece of gear! (Okay, that last is the subject of holy wars, but...) I can't wait to join the fraternity of Wested owners! Soon, but not soon enough...

Cordially,
Lord Clarence

Congrats' VP. There's something undescribeable about a new Wested. Like opening a door to the world of adventure. What's Your hat by the way? AB?

Cheers

It's an Akubra Federation Regular I got 15 ½ months ago.

Posted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 2:55 am**

That jacket looks beautiful, VP - Congratulations!

Now, you just have to make it look like YOURS...sleep in it a night or two. Really...I looked cross-eyed at COW when it was suggested to me, but I just fell asleep on the couch watching TV anyway, and it was snuggly warm....zzzzzz....and lo and behold, it already was starting to conform to my shape (couch potato, w/ chives) and getting all nice and wrinkly...another night really set it in.
