A bird crapped on my Wested today

Post by Indiana Gus »

:( It was gross. I was just walking down the street and there it was, partly in my neck too.

Luckily I had my Wested auth. goat on, which withstood most of the stuff. I could wipe it off easily, thanks to the leather cream.

Still...it wasn't a pleasant experience :( But I guess it part of the Indy adventure that comes with the jacket...

I've heard of 'field testing' our gear, but I believe you've gone above and beyond the call of duty! :shock: :wink: Regards. Michaelson

As long as you didn't get into a flap. In those situations, I find it's best just to wing it.

Hahahahaha...groan...

Just think, it could have been worse.....If you were wearing your fedora, that would have been alot harder to clean up.

OR...it could have been a bigger bird. :P

When your wife's cat wizz's all over it, then you can complain!!!

Bird poop can be wiped away, but cat pee is forever. :x

Naptha will get cat pee out, I'm sure of it. Send it to Optimo or Art via The Fedora Lounge and ask them for help.

Take a second to re-watch the tank sequence in Last Crusade, you'll notice that when Indy is hanging off the barrel, there's a white spot on his fedora. Need I say more? :?

You haven't lived until you've had a sea gull @#$% on you!
Talk about a bucket load of ****! True story! :lol:
It's only happened once during my 36 years so that's not a bad record.
No worries though...your Wested can take that and a whole lot
more! :wink:

I was in San Francisco two years ago, out on Alcatraz with my lambskin Wested and a whoooollllle lot of very irritable seagulls. I was being very careful that day, as I recall.

You'd be glad to have your Fed on should it hit you in the head. It itches like... Well, long story that didn't happen to me, but to someone that I know of. 8) :lol: (I can't say it happened to my mother in public, right?) Ooops...

Yeah, such a "potty" mouth am I. :wink: (You know I was kidding!)


"...but cat pee is forever" sounds like a DeBeers commercial to me. :?

I can't help but wonder if the bird was in cahoots with a rival jacket company...

Did you try Nature's Miracle or any other products specifically made for breaking down the enzymes in cat pee? I have had great luck on the carpets with that product, although if I need to use it much more the cats will experience the wrath of the barbeque grill.

Fedora, is there any chance you have heard of a cat hair felt? I may soon have some for you. :lol:

Just kidding, animal lovers. The cats do not actually get put on the grill. That is why we bought a microwave. :wink:
