Great photo!

Post by IndianaGeo »

Hey Peter,
That´s one heck of a photo! That jacket looks like it fits you perfectly. I have to tell you I´m loving the jackets I bought from you today. Thanks so much for showing me around, introducing me to your business, and not only taking the time to find the right jackets for me but for the ride back to the station as well.

Lastly, I really enjoyed chatting with your wife as well and playing toy toss with your dog, Poppy. I truly enjoyed the entire experience. Thanks for being you. Keep up the great work!

Regards,
George

WOW! I think that's the best jacket outside of the film I've seen so far.

If they gave you one just for doing a photo shoot, I hope Steve and Marc got one also. At the very least it would have been a great gesture.

Although nice look, the lining looks a little over done. You can see it creeping out of the sleeve.

Looks like one of yours and not theirs to my eyes, Peter.

I do wish all this CS jacket stuff would stop, but such is the way of the world. Nice coats, all.

Another example of "it's not what you know, but who you know".

Peter must know the right people! :wink:

Looks great.

Maybe I've still got a little bit of n00b to shed off, but why would Peter getting a free Wested be a big deal, can't he make himself one whenever he feels like it?

I think Peter is showing off the rather nice photo the nice man from a national newspaper took of him whilst interviewing him for an article! ;)

And yes it IS a Wested and yes he did get it made for himself.

Exactly, KT. Peter clearly states that it is a CS style jacket, that Wested let him have. If course it's all tongue in cheek, and Peter having some fun.

It is a fantastic looking jacket, BTW.

you should throw that up on your website mr. botwright. it would go great with the "my name is Peter Botwright..." description.

....not that you need help selling your jackets at all. that's a great photo :D

Typical banter among friends.

Peter. Very handsome jacket......and the guy is not too bad either. I know I have been riding you like a stick horse lately, but it is time to give credit where credit is due.......Great looking jacket. Love the look and the leather. Way to go friend. Cowboy.

Nice looking jacket Peter. This is almost like after the wardrobe people on CS had done their work to change the look of the jacket but of course this one is Wested. The drape on the arms look appealing.
I am a photographer and are exploring a possibility of creating a pin up female Indiana Jones complete with fedora, jacket, whips and all, your jacket would look great.

Sorry folks, I did not mean to mislead you, just a bit of fun
Yes its my jacket I made for myself using Novapelle skin.
The photo was by a photographer for the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
I could not resist posting it.
Cheers

Also,
Pam & I are thinking of hosting an Indy Weekend at my house in end of July. Anyone interested? Will post details later in events.

Oh, darn. I clicked on this link so quick I injured my finger. I thought Wested was giving away a free jacket. :shock: Oh, well.

Peter, that is a great looking photo. Nice hat and jacket, too.

Peter, I am an infrequent poster here, but I am planning to visit my folks in England during August: I'm going to come by the factory as I said in another thread to KT Templar, but if you could possibly postpone your idea of an Indy weekend by a fortnight or so it would be a privilege to meet you in such circumstances.

Whatever happens, I sure look forward to meeting you in person sometime in August.

Best regards

Africa.

That is a terrific looking jacket. I'm really wanting to see the washed goat samples. If they match what I'm hoping, my next jacket will probably be a Wested goat.

Nevermind, I just saw that there are some sample pics up now. Time to start saving my pennies.

Peter, you look great there in that jacket, I guess I better save up my money for Novapelle from you. Looks great. That is wonderful picture of yourself, you should get it developed and put it in a frame and place it somewhere in your house. Would be great to visit the UK, but I don't think I can afford to get over there, I hope people over there take a the opportunity to come to your Indy party in July at your place. Your truely a great gentleman Peter, thanks for serving our jacket needs for many many years and many years to come.

It looks great on you, Peter. Makes me glad that I have just ordered a novapelle CS jacket from you! :)

By the way, I assume that the darker novapelle shown in this picture is your standard colour. In another thread here there was mention of a more reddish brown novapelle, but personally I'd much prefer the darker one...

And you dare to even ASK? Heck, off course I am ... Back to London, huh? End of July might be a bit narrow, 'though ... depends on the date.

But it would be great fun, to enter "Wested's" again! :lol:

Send my best wishes to Pam, please.
