Re: USWings 40th anniversary Indy/Cooper jackets!
Just a word of caution to all, it’s not specified on the site, but the Raiders 40th Anniversary jackets come filled with poly for winter use, and also have the Last Crusade style snap on the storm flap. And no, you can’t get it without the snap.

Re: Wested Leather opinion
I kind of wish the lamb was a bit heavier, it feels like a shirt almost, but it still looks great. It looks thicker than a shirt, but if you wanted something heavier you should have ordered one of the cowhides. Should’ve just ordered one of the cowhides? Why didn’t I think of that?? I did. I ordere...

Re: Wested Leather opinion
If you look close (it’s not the best picture) you can see some of the grain and striation it has. I have a cowhide Raiders, with very little grain. For anyone that might have though to do this, Wested denies any requests for darker skin or a more striated, grainy skin, even if ordering custom. They ...

Re: Wested Leather opinion
Hey hope you got your jacket. I just got an LC in the pre distressed lamb. I like the look of it and the distressing. Wouldn’t mind it being a bit darker though. Here’s what I got:

Re: Last Crusade Pre Distressed Lambskin
In my experience, the standard LC will fit tighter than the standard Raiders in the same chest size. At least somewhat. I forget what exactly it was, but I once measured mine and was kind of shocked to find that the front panels on the LC were smaller than the Raiders, but I think the back panel wa...

Last Crusade Pre Distressed Lambskin
So I just received my Wested Last Crusade in pre distressed lambskin. Two things I want to throw out to the COW universe: - I was expecting heavy duty pre distressed lamb, as this was on Westeds leather skin blog article, said to be just about as thick as cowhide. It looks quite thin, nowhere near c...

Re: Wested Washed Lamb
Super not intending to be a snarky reply, but I’ve spent a lot of time wearing a Cockpit A2 without hand warmer pockets, as it was considered unbecoming of the military...finally got used to not stuffing my hands into my jackets... Just a question , would anyone know if the originally screen used ja...

Re: Newbie Dream Jacket Help
Nate I may have to research the Legacy. I missed all the info on that one. Not the same as the Hero sounds like??
I’m scared to get sizing as I’m a fairly broad dude (as opposed to a fairly dude broad) about 5’9 and 235.

Re: Newbie Dream Jacket Help
Thanks Illinois Jones. Funny enough I’m in Indiana myself. Now if I could just get the weather to steady enough in the fifties for me to wear the jacket, I’d be set. Here’s a funny question Wested declined to answer, is the current “pre distressed lamb” in their custom selection the same as “heavy d...

Re: Newbie Dream Jacket Help
Thanks Tibor. Do you agree that Westeds feel like costume imitations of leather jackets?
