Westeds NEW record time 1 week
Hello everybody, welcome back, I just thought I'd share about the good news, I ordered my Raiders Authentic Goat on a monday morning, a week later its in the mail. I was amazed!!
As far as the jacket goes, it is the perfect fit, I was alot smarter ordering this one than my last because my last was just a complete disaster. I have found that shoulder length makes or breaks the jacket, it is in the shoulder length, that you can get accurate sleeve and chest sizes. If they are off, than everythings off. Also got reduced armpit room because I wanted the arm pit right where it is, under my arm! That prevents alot of ride up and doesnt allow the jacket to "hang" on you.
To measure for this jacket I took a authentic lambskin that fit me because it was not suppose to fit, it was made for someone with broad shoulders and short arms. not me, because i had small shoulders and long arms it fit me ####-##### I'll say. So I took everything that I would have changed about that jacket and used it in preparation for this one.
The skin is incredible, beautiful goatskin, wonderful grain, it reminds me much of the flightsuits goatskin with being soft. The color is perfect. I ordered all cotton because I cannot stand the dampness and coldness of satin sleeves, and for me cotton is soo much warmer in the winter. Got the 2 piece gussets but requested that they reduce arms which is like a strange thing to do since the gussets are suppose to give you more room in the arm pit, and here I wanted to change that.
All in all, this is what Wested is selling now a days and I can't believe how perfect it is! With that response time, they really have come along way.
Its just amazing!!
Thanks for listening to my rant....
Regards, Dan
