    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Wested are not that well know for accurate A-2 replicas. However they have made arguably THE most famous jacket in film history - The Indiana Jones Jacket. They also have a history going back over thirty years including many Bond movies, Pirates of the Carribean, Star Wars, Aliens (Ripleys A-2)...

    What Happened to the Butter?

    I see, it doesn't really taste of anything though. I'm sure you have the "spread from the fridge" butter over there don't you? Any way back to the original question we still have many types of "butter like" spreads, olive oil based spreads, real butter and spread from fridge butter. It's not...

    What Happened to the Butter?

    As we are on the subject of butter. On trips to the US I've noticed them giving me, in hotels and some restaurants, something that's like thick (fake) whipped cream in little pots instead of real yellow butter. Is this normal and what is it supposed to be?

    FLASH GORDON 2007

    That's ok Doc Strange I respect that. There's plenty of shows that people have recommended to me an I have not been able to get into. Back to Buck Rogers here's a quote from a SCI FI executive: Seems they are not sure yet.

    FLASH GORDON 2007

    WOW, Doc you really don't like Galactica do you! :) Personally I think it FANTASTIC, a stunningly courageous rethink of an old premise, it has challenging storylines and amazing effects. It is not everyone's cup of tea I will give you that, it's unrelentingly grim, the Iraq parallels in...

    Experience with Wested?

    Wow, that's really strange! Gemma is a lovely girl, are you having trouble understanding her accent or syntax? I'll admit she does have a weird way of writing. Anyway, if you DO want to talk with Peter try calling at around 5.15-5.45PM UK time, I believe Gemma works till 5. But the...

    Favorite comfort food . . .

    That sounds good? In eastern Canada? Which part and what do I ask for? Because that sounds good!

    Apple iPhone

    With the google maps thing he demonstrated that he could pinpoint where he was... I wonder if that can be used like satnav? Cool, never getting lost again! The one thing that worries me is battery life, he didn't mention standby time. My V3i stays charged for days even a week at times...

    For Good Luck in the New Year, Eat _______

    I was just doing some research into old wives tales about giving blades as a gift and how the recipient was supposed to give the gifter a coin in exchange otherwise it was bad luck. (What are you supposed to give if you are gifted a gun!). Well at the same time I noticed a entry about eating...

    The Indiana Jones jacket. Much hype, little substance?

    Corbin, Kentucky is where the good Colonel started his chicken empire :).

    The Indiana Jones jacket. Much hype, little substance?

    How about this: Anyone here know of there are any quality leather jacket firms near FDM that he can go and visit in person? You're in Kentucky right? Anywhere near Corbin? BTW your jacket is not particularly badly fitting, you could loose a couple of inches off the chest size plus get "eighties...

    The Indiana Jones jacket. Much hype, little substance?

    S M L etc etc are have always been specific to each particular maker there's nothing new there. The bands are also larger eg 'S' 'might be from 34-38. Sizings for specific measures 38, 40 etc etc are that size plus extra for movement that has alway been true too. If you can order by...

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    Wested jackets are usually made to order so you just have to give them all your measurements and off you go. If you can you should try phoning them and having a chat about sizing and leather options. Chest, neck, back length (from the nape of your neck to where you want it to fall on your butt)...

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    Glad to be of service :). I like Imageshack it's interface is so simple enough that even I can use it :o though it's most suited if you only have a few pics to upload. Best of all it doesn't make you register before using it. Regards, Kt.

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    billy3ci on COW recently recieved this jacket in predistressed cowhide. It looked so nice for a Doctor Who that I asked his permission to show it to you here. He said it cost him about $400 incl shipping and he got it in 4 weeks to the US.

    Anyone have a G1?

    I don't recall the fur collar (I thought you could spec them detachable?). Anyway your examples fit much better than his. It may have been a modern take on the jacket (or a G2) as it was quite boxy and square. Heavier looking than your goatskin there Doc, and had waxy looking surface like an...

    G-1 Manufacture question

    The barebones company website for them indicates they've been in business since 1927. http://www.excellednyc.com/

    Anyone have a G1?

    I went on a business trip up to Manchester yesterday and went by train. Normally I go to work by car and don't really see many people! I suspect I may look like a weird starey person in these situations... really must get out more! LOL. Well long story short, I ended up doing the usual...

    They did that in my primary school, from about age 9-11 they made you use a fountain pen instead of a ball point. My handwriting is still dreadful. :)
