Wested Indy leather jacket

[Paladin]

I had Wested, the original maker of the jacket for Harrison Ford in the films, make me an Indy jacket in lambskin a couple of years ago. It's worn very well for me--when I actually have weather to wear it in here in Texas. But I was wondering if anyone else here has a Wested and what your thoughts are about it. Or have you chosen an alternative source to have one made rather than Wested and why.

When I can figure out how to post pics here I'll post one of mine.

There is a vast amount of information on Wested and the alternatives at Club Obi-Wan:

Enjoy!

Thanks, MK. I'll check it out. Haven't been there before.

I have 2 the first was a crusade “legend” in lambs skin and tbh I was disappointed the sizing was a little out no biggie but still not great but the leather was beautiful soft brownish grey that was and is nothing like a jacket from the films.
I’m very glad I gave them a second chance as the next was a “destiny” custom which is near perfect correct weight look colour and feel brilliant - only ****le is that the brass D rings on the side straps are too loosely attached and so if the straps get loose the rings can rotate and slide through each other undoing the straps. One option offered (if I remember correctly ) when specifying is to have brass circular rings which I would absolutely take

Hope that helps
