What a great week it turned out be!

On Tuesday of this week my Fed IV arrived, then on Friday my LL Bean taupe pants arrived, and finally today my ROTLA Wested jacket arrived in the authentic lambskin. I was beginning to get a little edgy about the jacket having not arrived. The reason it took so long was my fault as well, I transposed two #'s in the zip code. :oops: A couple of pictures I had the oppurtunity to take before the battery died in my camera. More will follow.

Hopefully next week will be just as nice. My Rockport Farnums should arrive no later than Tuesday and Todd informed me yesterday that his whips are due in next week and most of my order with him should ship out.

Looking good. If you wear the jacket a lot it'll start to wear in beautifully. And now I can see your hat you could possibly go a little tighter with that pinch - spray it down with a little cold water - and just nudge out the bottom of those side dents for a more 'boxy' look if that's what you're aiming for.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments everyone. I added a couple more pictures to my original post.

Haven't been able to wear it alot since I recieved it as the temps. have been in low 80's F here in "Indy". I have worn it around the house and wrinkled up the sleeves every chance I get, actually wore it for an an hour with the sleeves pushed up above the elbows. I wiped it down gently with a wet "Scothbrite" pad today and decided against that method. I may wait for a steady rain and put the jacket on and go outside for a few minutes and then let it begin drying while I am wearing it. I currently have it wadded up on my futon.

Anyone think that it looks to small/large on me?

Well after soaking the jacket in cold water and then it trying to shrink on me I think I have got it back to an acceptable fit. I also recieved a bounty of gear today. Cant get any pics outside at the moment as Central Indiana is getting with hammered with more thunderstorms. The Farnums arrived today as well as Todd's whip, whip holder, holster, and web belt.
