There is just one problem with Wested. Their contagious. 6 months or less after geting one you will be wanting another! :D

Not necessarily; on the COW classifieds, used Wested jackets come up for sale fairly regularly for considerably less than that.

Ben, here is some advice -

What I would do is look for a cheaper alternitave first. Try to get used to wearing a leather jacket. I know your use to wearing a sweater, and that you'll probably not going to wear a Wested often, so try something like a Disney, or hec I'll give ya mine for a while.

BTW - We got a lot of filming done today, let's keep it up!

You said bargain, so this is the best I could do. It is reasonably close enough. I can not vouch for the quality, as I do not own one of these jackets. It is not totally screen accurate, but it is under a hundred bucks.

Whoops. I just saw that the brown jacket was sold out. It's back to the old drawing board. Forget that I even said anything.

Don't forget the Cabelas Adventurer Jacket. For $200 or less it looks like a good jacket. :)

It's a nice looking jacket and you can't beat the price.

If you're still growing... I would hold off on a leather and get a cloth jacket.

As I found out the hard way with Indy jackets and so called bargains - Something too good to be true, was (too good to be true). Caviet emptor
