My Wested WASHED GOAT w/ pics

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.


The washed goat from Wested is stellar. I was a little reluctant ordering at first, but I'm glad I took the leap from the lions head. The leather is fantastic. It already comes broken in, so it's not stiff at all. The color and feel of the leather is outstanding. It already has a distressed look to it straight out of the bag. It is a very beautiful Last Crusade jacket.
The weight of the jacket is normal for heavy leather such as goat.

I'll tell you that this jacket, is nothing less than Wested excellence !!! It is every bit what I was anticipating for. The jacket is solid and will definitely be a great addition to your collection and adventures for a very looooong time. That is of course if you don't get abruptly overtaken by a nazi submarine while on the Bantu Wind. Then.... maybe I'd understand. But you better have been dragged by a truck before you loose it !!!!



This is a 44 regular "offtherack" Washed Goat







Outdoor Picture. Though it darkens up outside by the light, you can still see all the characteristics given to the jacket by the "Wash".



Here are ALOT of HD shots of the jacket just incase you want to examine it.

Very nice. It's got me thinking about my next order...

Ooooh...that does look good!

Too bad Wested is outsourcing these jackets instead of making them in the U.K.

It being "outsourced" is nothing bad. They still run back to the shop, are hand inspected for quality control by Wested, and are given the okay by Peter (and/or staff)

Over at Club Obi-Wan, a HUGE discussion broke out in regards to this topic.
In the end, no one felt cheated or disappointed by these jackets. Hell, these jackets are way better than some of the other indy jackets out in the market these days.

For anyone who has no clue what I'm talking about, take the time to read this forum to better understand which jackets are made outside of the U.K

Sorry indyclone25, But I can't put a Wested and the lottery jacket at the same level. I don't want people assuming that the Lottery jacket is on par with Wested.

For anyone who wants some information about this Lottery jacket, read up.
There's been a lot of controversy over the maker of these jackets.
They ARE NOT made by U. S. Wings.

i never said it was at the " same level " i just said " it's just as nice " meaning "i" think it is , i like the way my jacket looks. i'm just saying that it looks very much like the wested in most respects --- i got the jacket for less then a hundred dollars. but i would still like to get a todd's jacket someday , they are suppose to be more screen accurate. i 'm just glad i got a jacket that looks like indys --- i have been wanting once since the were selling them back in the 80's at bermans leather store in my mall, when i was sixteen and just couldn't afford the 350 dollars for it .

Entries will be good for one drawing only.


A total of 300 Indiana Jones Merchandise Prize Packs will be awarded in each of the seven drawings. A grand total of 2,100 Indiana Jones Merchandise Prize Packs will be awarded in the second chance drawings.

Scratch off the latex covering to reveal the 22-digit ticket number. Winning Indiana Jones tickets cannot be used for entry in a second chance drawing. The odds of winning are dependent upon the number of entries received.

Players may enter as many times as they wish during the contest period. However, each valid ticket number may only be used one time, for one entry into the next scheduled drawing. PLEASE NOTE: CONTRARY TO A STATEMENT PRINTED IN THE INDIANA JONES HOW-TO-PLAY BROCHURE, THE GAME RULES FOR THIS PROMOTION PROVIDE THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO ENTER MULTIPLE VALID, NON-WINNING TICKETS IN THE INDIANA JONES SECOND CHANCE DRAWING ARE ELIGIBLE TO WIN MULTIPLE TIMES PER DRAWING.

Retain your non-winning ticket(s). THE NON-WINNING TICKET MUST BE PRESENTED IN ORDER TO CLAIM A PRIZE IN THE SECOND CHANCE DRAWING.

All federal, state and/or local taxes or other fees will be the responsibility of the winner. A nonresident claimant who is selected as a winner will be awarded the cash value of the prize in lieu of the prize. Federal income taxes will be withheld from the prize amount at the rate of thirty percent (30%) pursuant to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The reporting and subsequent payment of any additional federal, state and/or local taxes shall be the responsibility of the nonresident winner.

what does the lottery people care they wanted to use indy to sell scratch and win tickets --- so people would spend there money and not win anything
except for the second chance give away prizes ..---lol

Here's my washed goat Wulfie. Don't waste your money getting something a little cheaper you won't be happy with - it will end up costing you more when you have to buy again. I love my two US Wings and they are made to last a lifetime, but the washed goat is the nicest leather I've ever seen for an Indy jacket. At the price, I'm getting another one!

OK, but why post in his thread about the Wested washed goat with photos of your jacket? He was only responding to your question about how your jacket looks. To me, the two jackets are worlds apart. I'm glad you're happy with it, but others may disagree on if they like it or not.

Here's my real US Wings vintage cowhide Indy jacket for comparison. This is made by Schott.

Dear God IndyClone25, You bombarded the hell out of this thread with massive lottery propaganda. A simple link to the site would be sufficient.
Take it off and just keep the banners.

yeah i know i was awake at 4 something this morning and had time on my hands --- sorry about that folks ---but i just really wanted to point out that all the people that were saying that it stated that it was u.s. wings on the info for the contest and it just never said it --- on that it was licensed by lucasfilm . but this will be the last i comment about the lottery jackets.

Thank you for not talking about the lottery jacket anymore. Now this thread can continue on about what an awesome Indy Jacket WESTED has produced for it's fans. The WASHED GOAT.

i have a question ? why wash ? do you wash it yourself for any specific reason ? does it darken the leather , lighten it , i guess i just don't understand the washing aspect of it .
