: : Wested are currently bogged down, so to speak, doing clothes
: : for the upcoming "Clone Wars" (Star Wars) Prequels, plus
: : the Steven Spielberg-directed, Tom Hanks film: "Saving

: : Yes, folks, HJ still exist - but they are apparently
: : now getting their felt from Spain - not Christys' of London,
: : as they were for the Indy films. And people who have received
: : hats are not entirely happy....
: Thanks for the info,I just about had all my money
: saved up to order an Indy jacket but with this info i think I'll wait awile .

I have recently talked to the folks at Wested leather and they are making me an Indiana Jones jacket.
The gentleman I spoke with said that yes, they were bogged down with
a heavy order but, they would have my jacket in about a month to a month-and-a-half's time. I sent my order in on August 26th.
You can't beat the price and from what I understand it is high quality jacket.
