New Member (Officially, anyway) New Jacket on Order
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:43 am
Hello all.
I've been lurking on this site for at least a year. Always been a fan of the Indy jacket since Raiders, but just last week finally took the plunge and ordered a Wested. Total screen accuracy is not a concern; I just wanted a good looking, well-made jacket. Being a big fan of horsehide (I own an Aero Highwayman and Long Half Belt in FQHH), it seemed like Wested was the way to go -- especially for the price, considering it's a custom.
Here's what I ordered....
Raiders model
46 long
Horsehide
Extra inside pocket
Gussets
Antique brass hardware
Of course, here in Southeast PA it's been insufferably hot, so I won't get much of a chance to wear it for a while. I told them to take their time and get it right. I furnished a lot of measurements, so I'm looking forward to a well-fitting jacket that will last a long time and look very cool.
Yes, I will post photos when I get it, but I imagine that's close to a month off.
