Hi Jaun29 ,scroll down to the entry by me ,headed ROTLA with pics.It has a standard cowhide raiders compared to a authentic brown ROTLA special offer. Hope that is some use (they are both undistressed)

ooooh Karen Allen Ive fancied her since I was 11.
Nice jacket though,looks good on you .

mississippi jones, I am only 5' 7" ( with shoes on )

Holt, from the bottom of the collar rand it is 26". :)Its a size 40

mississippi jones ,it is the authentic brown lambskin.I have treated once with NIKWAX leather conditioner (water soluble stuff) when it got really wet in the rain but it didnt make it noticebly darker.

yes,that is where I saw it.I phoned them though and made the order.

Bardoon, the raiders is quite alot roomier in the sleeve as a whole, compared to the special offer one.I would think it would make quite a difference if you had large or muscular arms.

Satipo, its a special offer one straight off of the rack .
gladd 96,I have a cowhide in the raiders and it is very tough ,it would take a lot to put a tear in it.A great jacket for the outdoors.,

Thanks Tron, I will try that.

Cheers Satipo

KT Templar, was about an 8hr round trip to Wested shop, but worth it ,as I got served by Gemma when I bought my cowhide Raiders :wink:( a couple of months ago.) The ROTLA special I ordered over the phone.Maybe I might ask for a sample of leather to be sent to me,? save on diesel :oops: Anzac,I think...

Magnum jones it is a wested ROTLA SPECIAL £125.00 excellent value for a weather proof /windproof jacket.
Nice looking goat skin ,do you know how it compares to horse hide ,(is that a standard raiders or a custom?)

bought this acouple of weeks ago and love it .Its sooo soft and light.Ithink that maybe the sleeves are bit too long but may give it couple of months more wear to see if they wrinkle up?Also it may be abit too delicate for climbing in can anyone reccomend leather that is as light and flexible but a ...

To answer Blueskyz question fully the cowhide raiders standard 40r weighs 4lb 7oz compared to the ROTLA SPECIAL that weighs 2lb 2oz.Hope that is of some use

But mine still smells pretty bad (but that probably me)

Quite heavy, I have rotla special lamb as well and the cow is perhaps 2- 3x as heavy.Its pretty strong and will take some punishment before breaking.A lovely working jacket.

Hello everyone, as a new member and thinking of getting a wested jacket but not sure what style . Does anyone own the ROTLA special ,Raiders and the LC jackets and have any pictures of them wearing the jackets to compare styles, any help would be grateful.

Nice jacket, what size is it and is it a ROTLA special or a raiders standard style ?

Thanks for the advice
