Pattern is spot on, I agree but the leather we have is not the same...unless they oiled the #### out of these jackets...which is possible. I have to admit, the jacket in the first post looked black to me. That is a seriously dark brown. Now that I see these auction pics I am going to try to get my s...

The Natural Jacket...A Review

(Please forgive me if this is the wrong area to post this...it has been awhile since I posted) I remember seeing The Natural starring Robert Redford again on DVD several years ago and remarking how incredible I thought his jacket was.

I have the Belstaff version and just ordered a Wested. Just a few differences but I assume the interior will be very different. The collar is different and it is not just a matter of swivelling the Wested tab. Below are pics of my Belstaff. http://webzoom.freewebs.com/zaritsky/b27.jpg http://webzoom...
