The lighting isn't the best, but here are a few pics of my 2 month-old Wested washed goat LC that has been heavily used. If anything, it should give you an idea of how well an OTR jacket can fit. Thank you Wested! EDIT: tried to edit my pics to make them smaller, but photobucket is having issues rig...

Update: I went out in a light, steady rain today and walked around for about 30 minutes to get my jacket wet. I came back in and wore the jacket, zipped up, for about 2 hours while it dried. I stood up the whole time (yes, my feet were hurting by the end), but wow did it pay off. There are some gre...

I also have a washed goat LC, and it is amazing. I HIGHLY recommend it!

I searched for a topic like this but couldn't find anything about my exact question, so I decided to start a new thread. I was wondering if anyone else's action pleats are staying open nearly all the time. It's not anything terrible, but my side straps are as tight as I can make them, the tops of th...

Does goat possibly shrink then, after it's been soaked? Or is the tightness at my biceps when I raise my arms normal? Like I said... I wore it as much as I could, until it was time to go to bed. Would the larger section on the back possibly shrink a little bit? I haven't noticed any change in size ...

Thanks guys, this makes me feel much better about wearing my jacket in the great winter weather here in Ohio

. Sounds like I will be permanently attached to my jacket from now on!

I have a washed goat LC Wested, and was wondering what I should do if caught out in the rain. I know I should wear it until it dries, but do I have to put Pecards on it? I'm not talking about being obsessive over it and applying Pecards every week or something, I'm talking about whether or not I sho...

Sorry, I'm new to the leather jacket scene.

I have a washed goat LC wested. All I'm really looking for is to ensure the jacket's longevity. I want the minimal amount of color change as I like it as is.

indiana bob

I know I can get Pecards off of their website, but I was wondering if any large chain stores such as Wal-Mart or the like carry it. It would be easier for me to just drive 5 minutes to the store and get it rather than waiting for it to be delivered. Thanks! And one more thing, how much Pecards will ...

indiana bob

Raider S, why did you chose the leather care vs. leather dressing for the goat? Is it because the goat is a more coarse hide than the lamb? Sorry for being a total noob here, but what is the difference between the two? And speaking of Pecards, anyone know hwere I can find it? I know it is on the in...

indiana bob

Best jacket out there! :) I wear mine all the time. Yes, get it a little wet and wear it while it dries. Then I'd certainly put a coat of leather cream on it as I feel this hide really needs the extra moisture when you first get it. The bit of rain will bring out some extra character and then the c...

I know, this thread is useless without pics, but I don't have a digital camera, so sorry :oops: I have to say that for anyone who isn't totally obsessed with screen accuracy (no offense to anyone here that is), this is an amazing jacket. It came with sliders on the straps, which aren't SA for an LC,...

Last night I ordered a special offer washed goat LC from Wested. I live in Ohio, and was wondering if anyone else lived here or in the eastern part of the country and could tell me about how long it took their jacket to arrive. I'm so excited!!!!

indiana bob

Why the hate for LC? Personally, I like it as much as Raiders...

indiana bob

Thanks guys... the problem is I love both films equally, so that isn't really a difference, but the extra wiggle room will probably push me towards the LC. Thanks for your help! :notworthy: I guess this is just me second guessing myself before I make a commitment... I' so excited, and yet worried I'...

indiana bob

Okay... I've been planning on getting a special offer Wested washed goat LC jacket, but I saw the new special offer Raiders, and now I'm torn. I simply can't decide which to get! So my question is: Are there any inherent advantages to either jacket in everyday wearability? Are there any annoying thi...

I'm getting a special offer washed goat LC/CS Wested, and was wondering if anyone has used this technique to break their jacket in. A couple of questions I have about doing this:

1) About how long does it take in the dryer?

2) Will it damage the jacket?

3) Are the results satisfactory?

Thanks!

indiana bob

I'm planning on getting the special offer washed goat LC/CS from Wested, and I was wondering if wearing it reguraly in the cold winter months will have any effect on it. I probably won't be wearing it outside for long periods of time, but 10 to 15 mintues in 0-20 degrees F is what I'm looking at her...

indiana bob

Hey bob, Wested is true to size. Their standard fit gives you more room than the 80s fit which is slimmer and a bit more tapered. If you're a slimmer build go for the 80s fit. It's truer to what Ford would have worn. The special offer raiders jacket on wested.com is cut this way. Hope that helps! I...

indiana bob

If you don't mind me asking another question Peter, are your jackets true to their size? What I mean is that if I am a 38 chest, should I order a 38 jacket? I plan on wearing t-shirts and occasionaly maybe heavier clothing for winter, depending on how warm the jacket is.

indiana bob

For an OTR jacket you have go into the Wested Leather Site and not the Indyjacket.com site. Once there the OTR jacket are listed under Indiana Jones with a link for custom jackets. The Indyjacket .com page is at present being updated so all our 'Indy' offerings will be available on that site with a...

indiana bob

Okay, this may be due to my inherent lack of intelligence, but I am having trouble discerning exactly what I should fill out on Wested's ordering page to get an OTR jacket. It would be nice if they had an option for either OTR or custom jackets and then that took you to a more specific ordering page...

Search - backpack http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=28866&highlight=backpack Lol, duh, never saw the search button up there. Thanks! And my backpack has two straps (one for each shoulder of course), so I shouldn't have to worry about uneven wear. And the jacket in that picture looks great...

indiana bob

There was a thread where someone posted their pics of wear to a jacket from a backpack. The distressing looked really nice but it was only on one side. So if you go the backpack route and it's showing wear, switch up the sides. If anyone can find those pics, I would greatly appreciate it. And thank...

Rundquist wrote:My opinion is that a backback would affect a lambskin jacket the most. Of all the jackets that I've had, the lambskins seem to have had their top layer rub down/off the easiest. Cheers

I'm getting a washed goat LC/CS. Will that be tougher?

indiana bob

Sure it will affect it - it will wear in spots from the rubbing of the straps depending how heavy the pack is. Depends on how much you use it though. Couldn't tell until you wear it I suppose. Hmm... may have to lighten the load a little. I usually only have a couple books in the backpack, but I'd ...

indiana bob

Anyone know if having a backpack (I am in college right now) on a Wested will have any effect on the jacket, such as molding the jacket to the straps or wearing that will show the friction with the straps? I plan on wearing my jacket quite a bit once I get it and worry about the look of the jacket g...

indiana bob

Thanks Flathead. That will help me a lot. I think I will go with a 40R to give me a little wiggle room.

indiana bob

Wow! That is a great looking jacket! I can't wait until I get mine.

I'm a 44 short and and I got an otr 44 reg,it fits great the only thing I needed to do was have the sleeves shortened,due to my short arms.Otherwise it fit great and I could layer too.

10) Natural distressing is just the distressing your jacket gets from being worn. Artificial distressing is using alcohol, sandpaper, etc. to get that worn look on a new jacket. I'm a fan of natural distressing myself (although I have distressed a Todd's custom before). Okay, that makes things easi...

indiana bob

Okay, I'm certainly not an expert but let me see if I can be of help on some of these questions. I'll let those more in the know get the other ones (and correct me, no doubt :wink:). 1) The leather used on the actual LC jacket was lamb but many members here swear by the OTR washed goat as a great c...

I'm new here, but I have been scanning this forum for a while trying to glean info about a Wested LC/CS jacket. I've been thinking about getting one for about a month, and I've thought of some questions to ask you guys: 1) I'm a size 38 chest, does that mean I should buy a size 38 jacket? 2) I'm 6 f...
