I bought a Wested vegetable tanned lamb a few months back and had hopes of darkening the color through using Pecard's colored dressings like another member here had done to his, but after a few attempts of using both black and brown Pecards I still haven't been able to get it to a desirable shade of...

Ordered mine on Oct. 18th got the confirmation on the 19th, it's now Nov. 23rd and still nothing. Maybe I should send an email....

orb has both of them......cept i haven't seen him around in a while. perhaps fire him a PM? if you are going with a wested, perhaps hold off until peter lets us know what kind of new funky hides he has found on his trip to italy. i'm still waiting on more novapelle but there were talks that there i...

So Gemma has told me today that they will make me a new one and ship it out...so much for making sure I get my jacket for Halloween :cry: :cry: :cry: It...

As far as hides go it's between a HH or a Veg-tanned Lamb (leaning more toward the veg-tanned lamb). Anyone have any Pros or Cons to share about these two hides? I do like the distressed look, but I'm looking for natural distressing this time around (my first Wested was a pre-distressed cow) which i...

The horsehide is somewhat heavier than the predistressed cowhide, from my experience, the plain cowhide is the heaviest. Cow Horse Goat =Veg Tanned Lamb =Predistressed Cow (Novapele) Lamb Crunch lamb Authentic (Special offer) Lamb. Of course this is totally unscientific and only based on the jacket...

i can throw in a hat for wested's preshrunk veg tanned lamb. though not screen accurate in colour, this is heavier, more rugged hide, than wested's goat (at least the one i have which is right before they stopped selling them). wested's goat didn't seem to want to drape to my body as nicely as the ...

I bought a pre-distressed cow a few years ago, but now I'm thinking about getting another in a different hide-one that I can distress naturally through wear. Initially I had intended on trying the goat this time around, but don't see it as an option anymore. Has it been discontinued or is it still a...

Thanks for all the input guys. I think I may wait on sending mine back to get tapered sleeves for now. "Baggy" may have been an overstatement on my part, but the "swimming wrists" description was a pefect description of my Wested. I'm still undecided on what Pecards to use. At fi...
