As I understood, the only thing Wested made for the Mummy movies was the leather gear, such as the straps and such, but no jackets. Regards. Michaelson

That's what I'm curious about. I know they didn't ake the jackets but I jsut want to know what props they made. like if they made the gun holsters, the weapons bag O'Connel uses, etc. and is there any news on the rocketeer jacket?

Posted: **Sat Apr 16, 2005 5:46 am**

wow, this topics been going on for ages. Last time I was at Wested was around october last year. I went in two or three times and each time asked about the Rocketeer jacket. It always put a look of despondance on Peters face :p
All he had was some leather sitting ontop of a hanger rack. Think he said it'd taken him a long time to get the right colour stuff. He also mentioned he hadnt been able to get the right kind of buttons. Plus I think it was kinda getting lost among his already huge workload.
I know this was a couple of months ago but I still wouldnt get your hopes up folks, you could well be in for a long wait. That said I'm sure there'd be some kind of announcment when its finished and ready to order.

any info on what he's been working on for HP4?

Posted: **Sat Apr 16, 2005 6:24 am**

Excuse my ignorance but do you mean Harry Potter 4? cos he had a few bits from Harry Potter when I was there. Afraid I didnt really look at them though. I'm not really a Harry Potter Fan.

sorry, yes I do mean Harry potter 4. Did he have items from any of the past movies? Waht types of items did he have?

Posted: **Sat Apr 16, 2005 11:30 am**

Very sorry Bruce but like I said, I didnt take a close look at them. He had a whole bunch of stuff on a rack. I know he also kept finished orders on the same rack so I'd guess everything on there was stuff that had just been finished. Peter just skimmed through some of it telling me what it was for and mentioned that some of it was for Harry Potter. Sorry I dont have any decent info.

No problem. But if you do go back in the future, can you ask him about the Harry Potter items and mummy items he's made for the films? thanks

Posted: **Sat Apr 16, 2005 4:13 pm**

I certainly will. I'm very interested in the Mummy items they made myself so I may well go back in the near future. Its just a 30 minute drive away

and I'd definitely ask about the Rocketeer jacket again.

That'd be great. thanks

Any word on this jacket yet?

Posted: **Thu Dec 01, 2005 11:12 pm**

I would loose my spare tire if I knew I could get a jacket like the Rocketeer. Does anyone know if Wested is still planning this?

For those still searching for a Rocketeer jacket:

I've waited and waited for the Wested version. The project seems to have been put on an indefinite hold. Haven't heard any news in a year.

Mein got, that price is ridiculous! Peter get that prototype on the tailors dummy right now!

Posted: **Tue May 30, 2006 4:24 pm**

I'd imagine Peter's price would be more competitive than $1,000.00 USD, but only time will tell. At this point I'd just be happy knowing where the project stands.

I asked Peter about this when in London for my honeymoon.

He didn't seem to happy about the project, but he did show me the prototype.

I would LOVE to get me one of these.

You could always ebay it, but you're almost guaranteed to loose money. But if you really want the Wested...

hey it's all good. I would liked to save the money and have another jacket made by peter.

My timeing is off. what can I say.

Posted: **Thu Jul 13, 2006 2:48 am**

You're still getting a quality jacket.

Posted: **Thu Jul 13, 2006 7:41 am**

On the Wested site I can only choose standard sizes for the Rocketeer-jacket. So isn´t it available in personal measures now?
Are there any pics of a production jacket yet?

Posted: **Sat Jul 15, 2006 7:47 am**

The new website is not complete yet and a few thing s have to be altered including the fact that the Rocketeer is Custom Made only.
Cheers
Peter

Posted: **Sat Jul 15, 2006 9:09 am**

Boy, I can't tell you how excited I am over this. Way to go, Peter! Way to go!
