Personalized Wested?
I am in the process of ordering my fourth and final Wested. As the finishing touch, I would like an identifying label such as "Made Especially for ..." or something to that effect. Has anybody had this done? Where is the label located? How much extra is it for this? Much thanks!

I have a name tag on my jacket. It's what we call in my business "a delighter". Many thanks to Peter for it.rick5150 wrote:Do these "fit" the jacket? It is hard to tell from a small picture. Would you do it again? I have my Wested label on the neck of the jacket. I have never seen it located like in the picture. Is this a special request?
As far as the label by the pocket, I think that's where they used to be. I am sure it can be moved my a professional seamstress if desired.

I have just ordered the jacket and included the name tag. The label placement is not important, I was just curious. Does the lettering on the name tag hold up well? Do you feel it will rub off with use and look like a plain piece of leather?

It seems like the lettering could rub off over time. However, because it's on the inside and has the "big brother pocket" to help it maintain shape, it seems to hold up quite well. It's just a neat extra.rick5150 wrote:Does the lettering on the name tag hold up well? Do you feel it will rub off with use and look like a plain piece of leather?

I had requested that they put the ITG label with the Wested tag, thinking that the Wested tag would be on the back of the neck area. However, I guess they interpreted my request as thinking I wanted the Wested label wherever they put the name tag by default, which was with the pocket. Because they ended up having to make me a whole new jacket, I was much more clear on the placement request. I'd suggest to be very clear with them where you want the label.rick5150 wrote:Thanks for the quick response! I saw a picture of ITG's:

Re: Personalized Wested?
I agree, I think a name tag would be an excellent idea, but personally I would wish to embellish mine a bit, something like, Dr. Jonathan C. Rixter, Ph.D., yeah, that looks good. And it just looks so darn impressive to anyone trying to pick your inside pocket. As a matter of fact, I’m currently printing out the diploma I created in Photoshop to hang prominently over my computer as I post to authenticate my credentials for when I order my Wested. It’s just so much easier than spending all those years toiling away studying, not to mention all that money on tuition and books. All I need now is a nice mahogany frame. <Very big wink & grin>rick5150 wrote:I am in the process of ordering my fourth and final Wested.
