Just wanted to concur that Wested's current pre-distressed hide is an excellent choice, especially for a Last Crusade jacket.

Glenville86 said:BK Indy jackets run on the slim side which is very good for normal sized folks. As a more beefy guy, it feels comfortable with some snugness in the pits and chest. If I ordered my actual chest size, the OTR would be way too small. Andy at BK will make some changes to facilitate fit. I had to go a little bigger on the pit-to-pit. The back length is shorter than my Wested jackets on paper but came out about the same fit.
Nah. I've considered it a few times, and as you say if I were to buy a BK it would have to be the striated lamb, but that five hundred quid price tag puts me off. I doubt my understanding Wife would be THAT understandingMajor West said:Interesting, I was going to ask you about the measurements. I was looking at their website. Noticed they had the option of ordering OTR sizing short/regular/long or including your measurements. According to their guide chart I should order a 40R
Are they UK based? I noticed a banner at the top that said free UK shipping.
If I were to order one I suppose I'd have to pick the striated leather, and maybe south america version of the jacket.
Which version of the jacket is the Flying Wing, it's the Cairo jacket I think.
Why am I rambling. I can't see myself pulling the trigger on £500
I hope you're not thinking about it Drones, your new Wested Hero looks fiine.

Ive streamlined my collection dramatically and had no intention of picking up a new one, until I saw online some recent pics of how Wested`s pre distressed looks these days; much improved on the mottled, almost stone washed look it used to have. Great jacket, probably my last... for the moment.
