About Us

Once upon a time in the land of Kent, a man called Peter Botwright made the decision to create his own leather specialist firm and over 40 years later the company still stands as strong as ever. Originally the brand was called “Leather Concessionaires” but this changed when they moved into Wested Lane, in which the Wested Leather you know and love was truly built. This family run company tries their hardest to keep at least 95% of their products made in England, either within the factory/shop in Swanley, Kent or the factory within the heart of London.

The company itself made their success by creating the first of the Indiana Jones jackets for Harrison Ford, along with many other film jackets over the years. The wonderful Internet made it possible for Wested to create replica jackets and sell them to the public, whilst keeping the shop in Kent open for those lucky few in the UK close enough to visit. However soon enough the Internet wasn’t enough and people were flying from the USA, Australia and more to see the shop that was full of their favourite TV & film jackets.

With the joy of expansion on the tip of their tongues they were able to release a fashion line of leather items for both women and men including fashion leather jackets, Italian made handbags, fur slippers, sheepskin gloves and so much more.

Our customers are very important to us, they can walk in or call up and ask for a product we don’t even stock – but if its leather, we’ll find a way to make it for you
