My Wested inspiration- Pics!

I've wanted an authentic Indiana Jones jacket for a couple of years now. I ordered a Temple of Doom Goat skin two weeks ago. Until now, this is the only leather jacket I have owned. While it's not a wested, it shares some of the characteristics I was looking for in an Indy Jacket. The cargo pockets with handwarmers, plain collar all leather waist and sleeves plain in appearance and side straps.
Its made by Andrew Marc and I have worn it in the cooler weather for four years. The problem with this jacket is thet it's made of very thick cowhide and is extremely heavy. It's fairly restrictive, and suprisingly, not very warm. I would not take this jacket on an overseas trip and was always looking for something lighter that I could move around in a little more.

Before I knew about Wested I was pretty happy with this jacket, but now that I have ordered my TD goat, I cant wait for it to arrive. I will be sure to post many high quality pics when it gets here. With only a recent delivery of the goat I am not expecting it till just before Christmas.
Thanks to all the postings on COW many of my questions were answered before I ever called Peter. You veteran posters all do a great job!

Try using < and > around the code instead of [

You need to use: img src=image url here :)

Or, you can use these like you did: [
But see to it that the image address is between the first and the last tag, the last being the one containing a / .

Like this: (img)http://www.picsite.com/picture.jpg(/img) with [ instead of (
