My 4 year old Wested (Pictures)

Post by Atticus »

Raiders Authentic brown lambskin after approx. 4 years of livin'. Most distressing is natural although I used various techniques to speed up the process in certain areas.

Wow...this one's been through the ringer...

Looks great though! :tup: Nice and wrinkled and weathered and worn. That's the way I like 'em... 8)

One question: Did you get dragged behind a truck with a pack of smokes in your front left pocket or what? :P

Haha, I was carrying some drywall with a cell phone in the pocket and decided to do a little unnatural distressing to make it permanent.

I like that jacket a lot, particularly the pocket shape and proportions, if the flap were slightly deeper they would be perfect.

Thanks for posting.

Yeah, I guess a lot has changed since I originally ordered.

Maybe its the lighting, but the majority of the distressing looks like you did it manually, rather than from daily wear. No offense, just my observation. :?

It's probably a flash or something - it usually makes distressing look more prominent than in real life.

I think that jacket looks awesome!! I wish mine would look like that, but I think the sleeves'll be too short for me to wear it before it gets to that stage in distressing. :? :cry:

Awesome jacket! Thanks for sharing, Mr. Finch!!

The flash brings out the most prominant scratches, especially on the arms. There are some "worn patches" in places where I have worn a backpack, such as the shoulders and the collar. The pocket along with parts of the back were unnaturally distressed, simply because it looked uneven. I dont know if this happens to everyone but the front distressed more rapidly then the back. Looked odd.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments.
