My 4 year old Wested (Pictures)

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!

Nice and wrinkled and weathered and worn. That's the way I like 'em...

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

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.

Hey, that looks just like Indiana Jones' jacket - nice shots.

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.

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.
