My wested lining is wearing out faster.
I bought my Wested Raiders jacket not even a full year ago and of course I wear it everywhere, the suede lining is starting to frey on the back two seams of the inside of the back panel. Kinda hard to describe, but I would appreciate any ideas on preventing any further problem to this area.

My original lining was Westeds old style satin lining. It wore very badly. Several holes in less than a year. I had Wested replace it with cotton in the body and a much stronger satin in the sleeves. It's great! You say your lining is suede? I'm not sure anyone has ever mentioned suede lining in a Wested. Are you sure that's what it is?

Yeah I originally was under the impression that the suede would be more accurate to the original. Apparently I should have bought one that would have been more durable. At least the material hasn't pulled away from the seams.You say your lining is suede? I'm not sure anyone has ever mentioned suede lining in a Wested. Are you sure that's what it is?

Actually...
...I think it was a great question, as it was an eyeopener as well. I didn't even KNOW they offered a suede lining before! Regards. Michaelson

I was under the impression when I ordered last week that it was only satin or cotton. Please let us know more about the suede lining if that is the case.
