Man, I really want this jacket. The halfbelt was at the top of my list, I just didn't like the price that other companies were charging. I'm also on a budget, like a lot of other people. By the way, I like the Indiana Jones style half belt that Magnoli makes. That thing looks so cool. I like his oth...

What is the lining like on your jacket? Is it flimsy, durable, well-sewn?

Hey, I've got the same dumb question.

Thanks for the info, guys.

Well, thanks for turning me on to this awesome find. I've wanted one of these for a long time myself and the leather looks amazing. It really does. 300 is nothing for this jacket. I especially like the part where you said it's thick. I went to the website and can't see any links that would allow me ...

Anybody taken the plunge on one of these? If so, I'd like to hear about it.

That is a thing of beauty.

Does anybody out there have one of these new Seal Brown Soft goats that's not around the same thickness and weight of lamb? I like a heavier jacket.

Anybody know what the soft seal cowhide from Wested is like? Is it as thick as novapelle or thicker than the predistressed hide?

Gorak, you can change the name of that first picture to "Greased Lightning."

Shootist, I've owned a Signature Series and a Legend Import in Antique Cowhide, both Size Large. I'm pretty much your size. I sent the Signature back because it was way too large. The Antique Cowhide fit great. But, I sold that to get one of the new Legends. Wish I had that Antique Cowhide back. Oh ...

I had one of the old Legend imports in Antique cowhide and sold it to get one of the 30th anniversary steer hide jackets. The construction on the 30th anniversary import was not nearly as good as my old Antique cowhide. My old antique cowhide didn't have any dropped stitches and, come to think of it...

Thanks for the information. I do appreciate it. One more question. What is the body of these new Todd Standards like? Roomier than the Bantu Wind? Are they roomier than the Wested Hero?

How is the leather of the new standard in comparison to the leather of the Bantu Wind? Is it thicker on the new jacket? I know the leather is brown beneath the finish on the new standard and gray on the Bantu Wind. I'm interested in the thickness and weight of the leather and would greatly appreciat...

I would like to know about the stitching on these new Todd's standards. I have a Bantu Wind and paid the extra money for a higher quality one. The tension on the machine upon which my jacket had been sewn was obviously not set correctly. The tension between the upper thread was clearly higher than t...

Great lookin' jacket, man. It does actually fit you quite well, in my opinion. I know you'll probably cherish that thing, due to the fact that it came from your grandparents, which is actually pretty cool because it's something you're gonna be able to wear for years, if not decades. From the photos,...

Hello. I own Wested Jacekts in washed goat, horsehide, pre-distressed hide, and Novapelle. The Novapelle is thick, substantial, and has some pretty good weight to it. It's comfortable in that it stretches a little bit. I've seen pictures of Novapelle that is worn in and has had leather dressing appl...
