So, after 10 days, my Wested arrives. It fits great thanks to all the COW Members that corrected me in my other thread (Special Thanks to Swindy! :wink: )

Here are some pics:

Congratulations! :tup:

Have you tried turning the hat? The brim looks flat.

Looks great! I know you'll enjoy it. It looks a bit longer at the waist than mine. Are you happy with the length?

I'm very happy with it. Thanks Havana! :D

Snow doesn't matter. It was -8 degrees Celsius (17 Fahrenheit) today and I was comfortable with a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, a scarf and the Wested.

That's you VP. Not me.

Well like I said here I am used to cold weather. I can walk with a t-shirt in a -10 degree (14) weather for a few minutes with no problem.

Well, That's nice. But now it's a bit off topic here.

Your bag strap buckle looks too wide, btw.

Looks a great jacket, good that you built a bit of growing room into it. Isn't the leather beautiful?

Awesome pictures. You wear the jacket well. Now go out and distress it.

I was thinking the same thing as KT; the jacket looks great, and I am glad that there is some room for you to grow into it, young man.
Congratulations and enjoy it. :D

Railok, I've been waiting to take those pictures, and great pictures they are! :P

I'm really pleased for you. The jacket looks fantastic. :notworthy:

My favourite picture is the last one. Very Indyesque. :wink:

Railok... looks great, glad your happy with your new jacket! You're really on your way with your gear collection. Heck you probably already put mine to shame since I'm minus a bag, a shirt, pants,... Spend all my dough on hats I guess. :roll: Enjoy your new jacket, next to the hat it's the most important piece of gear to wear. :D

I got mine today too. I love it. :)



So it looks like it only took about 10 days to get ours.

Well done, both Wested and Raily! :D

Now, wear the heck out of it and it will not feel only like yours, but like 'you' aswell. ;)

This is a Huge thanks to everybody who has answered in this thread! I could thank you every one in person but then my post would be too long.
I also like the last pic very much and i'm really happy that everybody else does! :D

Great pics and a great jacket man! Ready for adventure... The last one illustrates something I love about the Indyjacket, its a subtle but cool thing I really dig: the way the sides raise up with arms like a suit jacket's... (I looked for a picture of the LC 'What book' pose with indy's hands up but I couldnt find one... the moment illustates what I'm talking about well though...)

Railok,

This is what I wanted to tell you before you had to sign off on MSN today. So, as personally requested, here are my two cents.

I think the jacket looks very good on you, especially in the last pose, as Erri pointed out. It is a little long on you right now, but this is not a problem, because this just means that as a long term jacket, it will be great. You will grow into it, and thus will not have to replace it years down the road, and that is always good.

Overall, I think the jacket looks very spiffy. Jolly good show, my friend. :clap:

You will grow into it and it will grow on you, like Strider said. :)
Wear it in a frog strangler, let it dry on your body and lotion it afterwards and it will conform nicely aswell. You don't need too look for it, as I believe you will be bound to confront a downpour sooner or later being so close to the west coast and all. ;)

Regards,
Swindiana

Thats the one I mean! I suppose underarm gussets actually take that effect out right? Thanks pal... couldnt find it on TIE.c or TheRaider.n

Nah the Gussets dont make that much of a difference.

You would need a good bit of extra material under there to keep it from rising up.

No problem Rusty. I actually found a Harrison Ford fan site that has a ton of pictures from the trilogy. It had some great high quality shots from Raiders that I couldn't find anywhere else.
