I just bought a 44L dark brown lambskin with the following special requests:
X-Box Stitching on Sliders
Antiqued Brass Zipper
Raiders size pockets
Single Gussets.
My credit card total was $309.06 plus I got hit with a foreign transaction fee by my GM card for $9.18. I imagine that is standard. It just left Wested on Friday so I do not know what my customs charge will be yet. But that should give you a pretty good idea.

Krusch, looks like you weren't charged for any extras. That works out at about £167. take away 20 for postage. That's £147. There should have been a £5 charge for the gussets and perhaps for the pockets too. Well done!

From all the post I have read over the last year about Wested is they seem to be a very reasonable and customer oriented company. My hesitation to order the jacket over the last year has never been over dealing with Wested. I am just scared if I made a mistake I will not be able to part with it. I have had nightmares the last couple of weeks that the sleeves were extremely too long. I just hope if Wested left those charges off it was intended and not by accident. I would not want them to feel I was taking advantage of them.

Your best bet, is to try on some suit jackets, in a size that is comfortable for you, and get a perfect sleeve measurement from that. I made the mistake of ordering sleeves TOO short on my first Wested. I figured 23" would be good,....seems 25" would have been perfect.
The other thing, if you guess a little long, you could always get them shortened locally. It would cost a few bucks, but alot cheaper than sending the jacket back to Wested.
Good Luck

I didn't get any extra charge for my double gussets.

Mine cost me 310$ USD all said and done. I got gussets, xbox and rectangular fasteners. Authentic brown lamb.

When I talked to Gemma about 2 weeks ago I asked her how much the total cost would be for a jacket with rectangular sliders, x box stitching, and gussets, and it came out to be just the jacket + shipping + £5 charge for the gussets. The stitching is free now and the sliders are actually an option on the order page - also free.

I'm looking forward to more than likely ordering my Wested within the next coupla days!!

The Xbox stitching and the sliders have been free options all the time, there has never been a special charge for them.

Oh I see. The way people always talked about them and all that, I felt like it was a charge. It's good to know that Wested is so customer-friendly.

In Christ,
