: Hi everyone,

: This is for all owners of Wested jackets (be they Raiders, ToD or LC style). I was just wondering, I know that due to the 1930's settings of the Indy movies that most of Indy's clothes have an 'old fashioned' look to them - is this the same with the jackets?

: I'm thinking of getting a Raiders Wested, but the major reason I would buy a Wested would be if it could double up as a perfectly suitable and practical jacket - what do you owners think about your jackets? :-) Are they clothing or just a collector's item?

: Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! :-)

: -Muppet-

I would say that their style is very true to the era, that their style is timeless, and that I would be hard-pressed to choose between the jacket and the Alden's as to which item is the most practical in daily use. How's that for a run-on sentence?

Seriously, though, the jacket is very high quality. Compared side by side with leather jackets costing twice as much off-the-rack, its construction, quality of materials, and attention to detail are second to none. People I talk to about these jackets just cannot believe that you can purchase a custom-made, fine leather jacket that is custom made for the price Peter charges. The story behind the jackets alone would warrant a premium all by itself. We are indeed fortunate to be dealing with a man like Peter Botwright.

Believe the hype. Buy one. You'll want to buy another - I guarantee it!

Cheers!
