Thanks for the heads up Michaelson, it is a harsh truth but it is what I feared to be honest. I've e-mailed the pic to Wested along with my concerns...and I've asked whether it would be possible to resize my jacket to a 42 as I usually wear. I feel that this would solve a lot of the issues that I ha...

No, I sent this one to Wested....although I had laid it out and flattened the baggy back a little:

Thanks for all of your advice....I have to admit I've only had it for a few weeks, and hardly worn it in that time. So I guess it's still going through its breaking in phase. Would be a shame to dismiss it so early on when it probably only needs a bit of wearing to sort it out.

I must admit it is a little darker now, and I always think its darker in colour in person. Seems to look a little lighter in my pics, even though I take them without a flash. I'm gonna wear the #### out of the jacket now, in all weathers and hope it conforms more to my body. My wife tells me there's...

One of my Hero's had a back panel that was baggy towards the bottom, kind of sagged down a couple of inches up from the bottom. It looked pretty awful so I got Peter to replace the back and it came back looking just fine. ZOLTAR Hi, I e-mailed Wested and attached a pic of it. They said the first th...

I've coated my jacket once so far in the baby lotion...it's made it slightly darker, but not much. I'll reapply another coat today and see where I get. Not sure if I'm putting enough on. I'm rubbing it in until no excess sits on the leather but my SL is so grainy it takes me ages. Pics to follow onc...

I re-read you posts and I was getting baby lotion confused with baby oil.....that would've been a problem if I'd used that. I'll grab a bottle of lotion today hopefully and let you see the results of my test. Yes the SL is a lovely jacket....any complaints (except for the colour) are really down to ...

My shrunken leather never had that heavy shine on it like your second pic. I don't think it's quite as light as the pic I posted in person, but it's still lighter than the other pics posted here.

Now that's the colour I'm after. I've read somewhere though that baby oil can shorten the life of the stitching....not sure if that's true. I'll try to post a pic again.... http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/benkelby/media/IMAG0187_zpsmf715ztz.jpg.html?o=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);r...

Sounds good to me.....I'm a little nervous doing it but I could test it first on somewhere hidden (back of the pocket flap). Do you have any pics of yours?

Does the baby lotion dry evenly on the jacket? Also does it set well so that it doesn't grease up your clothes underneath?

Yeah it's definitely lighter than the pics posted on the wested website. I'm beginning to wish I'd saved some cash by buying the special hero jacket. It's cheaper and you can select what colour you want. I've tried conditioning it today hoping it would go a little darker but it just dried the same. ...

Hi, I recently bought a brand new Wested ROTLA Hero jacket in shrunken lamb and I have a question: It seems really baggy on the back panel and has now developed a big crease at the bottom....is this normal? I've looked at other peoples pics and they all seem OK. http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/a...
