Club Obi Wan

.... See Hemmingway, I told you I'd get off your thread once my jacket got here.

Well, I've been on vacation for the last week and got into town this weekend. Today after work, I pedaled home just as fast as my bike would take me and I made it into the door at my apartment office just as the manager was about to lock the door. I knew I had a few packages, but I didn't think my Wested would be in the group. Needless to say, I was extremely surprised to see it in the stack.

I grabbed my packages and quickly pushed my bike home the next three blocks (one of the packages was a big box, my new millenary hat stands for my lids).

I got home and opened the package. The jacket was sealed in a plastic bag with its certificate and a piece of green tissue paper. I opened the bag and unfolded the jacket. I was shocked by how small it was, and was a bit afraid that it wouldn't fit. (I bought a second hand 46 long and it is much bigger than the jacket I ordered.) My next thought was that Peter measured me at the QM and there was no way this could be wrong. I put the jacket on and it fit like a glove. I am so excited about it. I just want to call Peter and order every kind of jacket he makes... I've never had a jacket fit this well.

As for the specs ordered, they are listed below.

• Style: Raiders (80s cut)
• Fabric: Lambskin
• Size: 46
• Colour: Authentic
• Length: 24"
• Shoulders: 6 1/2" (I think that's what the order form says.... hope Peter can read his handwriting, I'm not sure I can, obviously he did read it right)
• Sleeves: 26"
• Lining: Cotton/satin
• Zipper: Brass
• Straps: Sliders with "x-box" stitching
• Reinforced stitching on the hand warmer pockets.

I couldn't ask for anything better. I will post pics as soon as I can get someone to take some... I also owe you some AdventureBilt pics.

Mike

I for one, want to see it

Now Mike, I'll have to think of something to piggy-back off of your thread!
The jacket sounds great and I cannot wait to see the pictures. You're right about how small lambskin looks in the package. It really packs flat, almost like a cotton jacket. That's part of the reason it drapes so well.

uuuh-ooohh

good luck

Hey Joe, I'm happy for you.

My new Authentic lamb 80's cut arrived this past saturday as well. Except I'm a 40 reg. I didn't think it would arrive so soon.

I can't take it off.
