If you order a Westfall how long does the customer wait?

Does A2 29971 comes with horsehide version or it is steerhide only? Thank you

Depends on what leather you will choose.
We have some leathers in stock and we restock others all the time.
For example, if you order the Westfall in Badalassi cowhide, we can ship the jacket in under 4 weeks.
Please contact us by email (sales@billkelsomfg.com) to get all the info.

The 29971 is steerhide for now. We are in talks with a tannery to produce some horsehide for this jacket, but they are very slow in their replies.

Thanks, I hope you do.

Thanks Andy, I am also wondering the size of A2 29971, the following are my measurements:
hight: 165cm
Chest: 89cm
waist: 76cm
which size suit me best? 34R or 36R? also, can I have the measurements of this two size? especially the shoulder and sleeve length please.

This is a size 48 jacket, the largest they come.
The sleeve is quite normal, we copied this from original Hercules jacket. Plus we can make it even slimmer if you wish.

Nice to know you can slim/tighten-up the sleeve/cuff openings on this jacket. It's a very nice style jacket!:eusa_clap

The grain on some of those leathers is pretty great.

I'd say it is as good as any other leather out there. Very impressive stuff.

 

[andyfalzon]

Sorry about the photos. They are not good quality. They are not very well lit and the camera I am using is not very good.
The Victory horsehide is full grain and this means you get the best of smooth leathers and the best of grainy leathers. Depending on availability we can serve requests such as jacket to be made with extra grainy leathers or jacket to be made with smooth leathers.
But please don't get me wrong. Smooth does not mean grainless. For example, the last jacket posted on this thread is made with smooth leathers. Please look at the close up shots of smooth leather.

SMOOTH
-----------

for comparison look at some grainy parts all from the same jacket

GRAINY
---------

See the difference?

I repeat, this is a "smooth leathers" jacket. So even in its grainy parts the grain is not as pronounced as it is on a "grainy leathers" jacket.

I hope this helps.

Hey Andy,

Any news of the dark seal victory HH?

Your facebook mentioned something about it shipping out this week!

 

[mike]

Hey Andy, I tried emailing you but your email address has been sending me error messages for the last month and a half. As an alternative, I tried pm'ing you on here & through Facebook. But no response? Just trying to get an update. Thanks!

 

[andyfalzon]

Yes, it shipped last week. And although it shipped a couple of days earlier than the Liberty horsehide, the latter arrived first today.
We don't feel it will be here tomorrow and next Monday is local holiday, so from Tuesday.

 

[andyfalzon]

Hi Mike,
Strangely enough I don't see any messages from you on facebook and no emails have been received. I am checking the PMs now.

 

[andyfalzon]

just checked and no PMs from you Mike. (Unless you go also by the name handymike)

 

[handymike]

No, that's me ;-)
