I got send a link to this website for some band, and on the cover of their CD one of the guys looks like he's wearing a wested. What do you guys think?

As soon as I saw it I thought 'that has to be a wested...'

It took me awhile to notice the jacket. I was too busy trying to read the words on the woman's top. :oops:

But I don't think the jacket is a Wested. Check out the front pockets. They're slits only - not sewn on with flaps.

I can't really see the pockets clearly, but you may be right. It was just my first reaction to it - from side in it looks very much like my goatskin wested.

No, not a wested. It has the slant zippered pockets, and no pleats. Check the big fold below his shoulder. With a fold like that, I think the pleat would be popped open and visible.


FYI that's a New York Dolls shirt she's wearing..... QUITE WELL, I might ad :shock: :shock:

Sadly, that's not a Wested. It's also a shame to see such an attractive young woman being so unsophisticated. It's sad to see someone with no class whatsoever, no matter how attractive they are. :?

You've been hit by some strange disease causing you to see westeds everywhere.

I have the same disease too.

However this is not one.
Notice the belt at the back (strip of leather held by buttons)

I've got to second that my friend. Everytime I see a girl like that I hear one of the Three Stooges saying, "What's the matter with you? Ain't you got no scruples?" :wink:
