Thanks a lot, WNY Indy! I think Wested’s OTR jackets (or at least the LC) are not SA; however, if you get the size right, they are good everyday jackets. I’ve been wearing mine in the field ( :dig: ) and it’s quite comfortable. Yup, to my understanding, the OTR jackets are made from patterns modifi...

Congratulations on a beautiful jacket! The leather looks really nice, and from what I can tell from the pictures, you got a great fit as well.

Fifthchamber, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
S&J is the obvious choice, especially their LC jacket.

(The Penman Crusade hat is awesome)

Hey everyone! This is my first post. Thank you, FifthChamber, for the comparison. I’m thinking about getting an Indy jacket (I’m undecided between S&J and Kelso), and your information was very helpful. I’m considering a S&J jacket, but the comment about the lining and stitches got me thinkin...
