    Wested - Doctor Who / Das Boot

    Ok, keeping completely on topic I will counter your one "dissatisfied" jacket with three "highly satisfied" jackets from Westeds of my own. 1) I have a Raiders, fits me perfectly and I have no issues with it's build or quality. 2) I have a War of the Worlds which fits very nicely and gets...

    Wested - Doctor Who / Das Boot

    Please, don't try to turn this thread into an extension of your gripe against Wested. You got a jacket you didn't like, we get it. Thousands of people per year would disagree with you. (Yes, Wested's annual sales are in the thousands.) This is merely a sizing issue, Pilotguy has not indicated...

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    I believe it's a modern reproduction of an ancient Templar seal. Thanks for your input guys. The reason I ask is: I've heard that mink oil may possibly go rancid with time and that mineral oil based conditioners may be preferable because of this.

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    For those older jackets that seem to be drying out, what are the arguements for and against mink oil as opposed to something like, say, Pecard?

    New Dollar Coin Out Thursday

    Ooh, dollar coins? I've never seen one of those. Can somone send me one? (was worth a try!) :) We went to the pound coin many years ago and the note disappeared a few years later. The note is hardly missed it's really too small. Even though the pound is worth about $2, the coin works...

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    I'm live quite close to Wested, about 35 mins away by car, so I went there and bought one off the rail. :)

    Thank you, it's just a regular black cowhide.

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    Well i took the plunge too and went and got an "off the rack" new cowhide, medium. Nice heavy leather, very well put together and I think the fit isn't too shabby either! :)

    Airports:Best and worst

    I used to love the old Hong Kong airport - Kai Tak, you used to come in over the mountains then just over the skyscrapers to "reportedly" one of the hardest to land airports in the world. I remember once staying across the harbour from it and watching one plane after another try and land, give...

    opinions on Aero Indian Goatskin A-2

    Sigh, "dirt cheap" I can afford!

    opinions on Aero Indian Goatskin A-2

    Are they "on sale" at Aero? Have you got a link you're willing to share?

    Airports:Best and worst

    Hong Kong airport is great, so big and spaceous. You can check in the centre of the city then ride to the airport on the high tech train then waltz into the airport with just your hand luggage your passport aand your boarding card. Very convenient and much less stressful than normal airports...

    Black Book - March 2007

    Black Book is geting some very good reviews over here. The Daily Mail gave it 5/5, but, they do seem to like anything with Nazi's in it! :)

    Man barred for showing belly

    I think the "thongs" in question are flip-flop sandals, at least I hope they are because the other image does not bear thinking about. :)

    Can you remember where you were when you heard Princess Diana had been killed?...etc

    The night Diana died I'd just finished a late shift and was going to bed... the report said she'd been in an accident and that Dodi had died. I thought nothing more of it and went to bed... I had a bizzare dream that she'd broken her nose in the accident but had walked away from the crash. Oh, I...

    Things I'm Sick of Hearing at Job Interviews...

    I would have been sorely tempted to bill them for wasting my time. If they were slow in paying I'd take then to the small claims court. That's for having the gall to admit that they'd called you in under false pretenses. I too have never got a job through an interview, usually I've ended up...

    California lawmaker proposes no spanking law.

    Spare the rod spoil the child. In the UK we've had many years of this kind of wooly thinking and I think are paying the price with hoards of feral children as young as 5 or 6 running around the town centres and residential streets in the evenings making a nuisance of themselves. They have no...

    What Happened to the Butter?

    After mentioning spreadable butter I started to wonder what was in it! (Bit late some would say!). So I took a look, it's butter plus some rapeseed oil. No added transfats or weird chemicals. That's good enough for me!

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Trying to help. (Would be better if actually I read the post before hitting submit!!) Aero's steerhide is £200 so it's actually about $400 not $300 :o .
