Thanks for the links and pics. Color's always so hard to tell in pics but it does look fairly light. I wonder how it compares to the washed in person? (As that can look lighter or darker depending on the pics as well). I'm sort of surprised no one here's done a comparison between the two leathers in...

Thanks for that detailed reply. Much appreciated!

Do you happen to have some photos? I'd love to see the grain and such.

Hey all, I had standard lamb Wested's 20 years back, and am looking to order another jacket now. I had another thread going about the current patterns vs. the old ones and the 80's cut, etc. Luckily, someone at my studio picked up a hero and I was able to work out the fit question. So now it's down ...

Appreciate all the feedback. I am aware of the other makers out there and do appreciate those suggestions. There are definitely a ton of threads debating accuracy. For this thread, I'm curious about fit of modern Wested options, especially in relation to those older patterns. Hoping there are some f...

Thanks for that. Certainly accuracy of each, current and past, will vary considerably, but I suppose that's a question for another thread :) I figured the 20 year old patterns would be different from the more modern ones. Makes sense. The comparison of the fit between the modern and the past would b...

Hey all! Apologies ahead of time for the long post. I did some searching before posting but since I'm seeing some conflicting info, I figured a new discussion may be worth a go. Been a long time since my last post! Some folks may remember me as "...whiskey?" back in the day. I've been look...

Glad I saw this thread. Good idea on the PM thing.

I tried emailing to place an order (from two different accounts just in case) and also haven't gotten through.

Just sent a PM to Peter...

Thanks!

I'd say keep it as an option but make sure people know it's available. I know a lot of people would love to have that as an add on. For myself i'm kinda on the fence. It's nice, and i do get a lot of wear out of my jacket, but so far, my pleats have been behaving :) I'd also be concerned (as someone...

Tom, just an observation...You're either single or you have a really cool wife that will let you decorate with all your props. It all looks great and I wish I had even a drop of your craftsmanship in my blood as it would be fun and satisfying to be able to make much of that myself! However, with my...

:oops: wow....thanks for all the kind words guys! i just wanted to say something nice about Rab's SUPERB jacket and look what happened? :) Rab's right, that big blue hero is "the Tick", a long time favorite of mine in comic, cartoon and live action form. So many questions... i guess the ea...

I'd just like to jump in here and say that i got to see the Rab's jacket first hand at my prop party last weekend. If it's possible, it's actually better than the photos show. The coloring is just excellent...very gray-brown looking. Very Raiders, to my eye. I've been hedging on getting the authenti...
