What color is the lining in the Raiders jacket?

I believe the LC is black, but was that true of the other films? Why does the standard offering seem to be copper?

Was it stiff & require a lot of breaking in? That seems to be what I hear a lot about horsehide, so I was wondering if something as thin as this avoids that.

Re: Just got my custom Wested LC. Couldn't be more disappoi

I have two Indy jackets and I am happy with both. I did have to rrturn one for a larger size, but the comlany was very responsive and cooperative. My other jacket I bought from someone else and I got lucky in that I thought the fit was fine. Since there are parts of your jacket you don't like, take...

A little review on my S&J experience to date...

Based on what I read in here, it seemed to me that S&J was the way to go. This after ALMOST giving up following a bad experience with Wested. I emailed Diego, & folks.... if you've heard on here that he's good about communication, let me say for the record.... that is the UNDERSTATEMENT of t...

Re: Just got my custom Wested LC. Couldn't be more disappoi

So I've read about the weird cut of the Raiders which was what prompted me to go with the Last Crusade. If I go with the Raiders jacket, should that (in theory) eliminate the flying squirrel issue? Also, how much of a difference am I going to see if I go with the cowhide instead of the goatskin? Wou...

Re: Just got my custom Wested LC. Couldn't be more disappoi

I had previously bought a Wested Raiders off of eBay a few weeks back for a song. It was "brown" goatskin & also black. It was too small as well, but given the price, I rolled the dice on it as the seller's description made it appear it would fit. At any rate, I realize that skins will...

Just got my custom Wested LC. Couldn't be more disappointe.

The brown goatskin is black. That holds true in full sunlight as well as indoors. There is nothing remotely brown about the exterior of the jacket, & I expect no level of distressing would change that. As it turns out the color of the jacket is a moot point as it does not fit at all. This is mor...
