thought these may be useful for some that have questions about the wested raiders jacket.
these pics are actually about 3 years old. it's a lambskin and i love it.
my only complaint is that the sleeves could be just a tad longer...but it's a minor issue.

What's it look like after 3 years? That's about the time these jackets really start to look good! If your sleeves are so short that it bothers you, lambskin stretches pretty well when it is wet. My Wested lamb was too short in the sleeves after I wore it long enough to develop creases and wrinkles in the sleeves. I solved this problem by soaking the sleeves and pulling them down and inch or so. They dried that way and stayed and my appreciation for the jacket soared! That is a super looking jacket, maybe you should give the stretching idea a try if the sleeves are too short. The sleeves also usually have about an 1 1/2" of extra leather at the cuff so you can wet it an leti it out if the liner is long enough. I hope that makes sense to you. Thanks for sharing pics of you superb Wested jacket!

Thanks All!
i'll try to get some pics up of the jacket as it currently looks...
i live in AK so i only wear it during the summer months but it's pretty much my "all the time" jacket around town during that time.
thanks for the suggestion on the sleeves Weston...just might give that a try!
i must say that these jackets are a great value...the lamb is very soft and i've had no issues with any durability. i've enjoyed it a lot and get quite a few comments on it...
