That reassure me a lot !
Don't worry it will get every natural distress! Rain, snow, sun, cats and dogs... everything
If anyone is going ask me if i'm going to distress it... nein, natural distress school

My friend, only leather samples represent accurately the colour
Neither in the film we can see the "real" colour of indyjacket, if you know what i mean
Anyway i'll take pics also in other light conditions sooner or later so you can compare

IMO .... yes. The authentic can look and photograph dark in different lighting. Case in point, the movie! I was tempted by the dark side but could not have been more pleased when my authentic lamb arrived.
Some more pics which i posted also in the hat thread
A LITTLE ADVICE for who buy an 80's fit wested... get all satin!!!!! Cotton body is useless in an 80's fit because the jacket is tight already, it wont surely slip off of your shoulders.
With cotton you only get bad electrostatic lightning (Palpatine style) when you go out of the car and touch metal stuff. it's a pain in the arse. i hate it
and your epaulettes bend over under the jacket... probably with satin body this wouldnt happen. I'll keep this in mind for the next jacket

You get it with satin too. Been there, done that, have the fried, uh, electrodes to prove it!
Mine's still a bit shiney it's nearly 7 months old and I've been wearing it nearly every day. It's been rained on and even snowed on a bit. I must not stay outside for long enough! (Thank you Strider, .... no I don't want any sandpaper... no really. But thank you anyway!)
Ah man Tone, talk about bad luck. When I first looked at that pic I said he's got the smaller Raiders yoke, cool! It look a minute before I noticed that the sleeve really are misaligned. The right looks about 3/4" or so off. But that left side looks about 1-1/2" off. Well, at least you've got your trusty old lamb.

I'm Italian... i love drama! I keep it
and i can't remember the old one
It's good that the sleeves are perfect. When i received mine they just forgot to "close a seam" but i did it by myself. Maybe they must pay more attention about these "details"
Man, that *****! I'm sorry to hear that. When I saw what had happened to you, I checked my new goat for the same issue, but thankfully, it wasn't there. I wonder why I have been able to avoid ever having to send a jacket back to Wested. I've only had to send my hat to Steve for re-blocks or re-sizing. I hope it comes back the way you want it, Tone.
