Wested Leather Weight

Post by majman »

I'm hoping someone can help me, about 4 months ago purchased a Wested pre-distressed hide (Novapelle) jacket and it is fabulous - I love it. It is perfectly made and it is great to wear here in the UK where it has been fairly chilly recently.

However I will soon be moving to Australia and while the pre-distressed hide will be good in the winter I can't imagine I'll get too much wear out of it in the warmer months.

So I'm thinking of getting another Wested, but in a lighter weight hide. Can someone tell me the order of the weights of the hides offered by Wested, and what do people recomend for a jacket for warmer climes.

Thanks for your help.

For heaven's sake... Australia ain't that hot.... depends where you end up. I can wear a bullet proof, heavy goat Wested for at least 7 months of the year. Sometimes I need to wear a jumper/jersey with it.
