Hey Everyone.. jus a quick question.. i got a wested a month back and the stitching starting coming undone where the sleeve meets the chest.. about an inch.. i wrote wested and Gemma said to take pics and we'll see where it goes from they.. thats fine but i dont wanna wait to send it back and wait for it to come back so where else can i go to get this fixed? Will any tailor do a fix like this? thanks ladies and gents

Any leather taylor can do the repair. But when it is bad craftsmanship by Wested they have to repair the jacket for free. You have to decide if you you want to send your jacket to Wested for two weeks or pay the taylor and get it done the next day.

Jude, check around the base, as most military installations (all, in fact) have at least ONE tailor shop that will do sewing on military uniforms and the like for military personnel. They also tend to specialize in working on leather jackets (as you Navy guys seem to like to throw yourselves off the decks of perfectly good ships in fast moving planes, and wear leather flight jackets while doing so. HOW odd. )

Find that tailor, and they can take care of you with no problems.

Thanks Gents.. i can not part with my jacket ... its a symbiote takin control of me! cant send.. back..to... wested.. but i am tempted to buy another one soon

Personally I bought a leather hand sewing needle, and do all my own stitching. l've commited terrible sins to my wested, but hey it's cheap.

I just access the inside from the left arm, where wested close the final jacket.

I did the same right now so it didnt get worse ..its good for now but i want that extra feelin that it was done right! ya know what i mean?

Apparently my suggestion has fallen on deaf ears.

Michaelson,
i found the few tailors we have 'round here..im headin to them after work.. navy makes us work till 1530 inport now so todayi will check them out..

I had work done on several Wested jackets by the one tailor who supports the AF base next to where I work, and they've done absolutely beautiful work, as they have to repair A-2 flight jackets all the time.

I'd say one or all of the ones you looked up will have the same background, experience, and correct sewing machines to do anything you need to have done on your Wested.

Regards! Michaelson

I had the sidestrap fastening come undone once, and I took it to a random tailor...he also put X-Box stitching in for me!
