Wested or Todds question

I plan on ordering a 3rd jacket! I currently have two Westeds both Lambskin and one is ROTLA special. I wanted to get a third jacket for every day use! When I mean every day, I mean that it will probably get alot of abuse because I work outside alot. So since already have a jacket by the orginal maker, this third jacket does not matter to me if it is by the original maker! What's the major diffrence between a Wested lamb and Todd's Lamb?

weight. I have (had a todds, wainting on my bigger size now) , and i have worn a few lambs from wested. The wested lamb seems much thicker, or beefier in weight compaired to a todds. Wested lamb isnt really heavy though compairing it to my goat, but the todds felt like i was shipped an empty box lol. I love the jacket though, its super light for the summer, at least bearable somewhat more than a wested. Todss jacket feels very raiders right from the start. Its a great jacket if you are wearing gear at a convention or other event, because its so light and you almost forget your wearing it. Quality is great though, dont question that. But i dont know how much hard work your doing, id almost wear the westeds outside for labor.

Why do you want to get another jacket though in the same film style? I know for me if i bought another jacket it would be a different film version than raiders again. IS there a problem with your other jackets? Id also maybe get a different hide, which would mean i wouldnt get a todds since its also lamb.

There is nothing wrong with the jackets that I have, my first Wested is about 8 years old and has been worn a little but mostly put on a 1:1 Indy mannequinn. I just bought the ROTLA special so that is going to go on the mannequinn now, I just wanted another jacket to wear for every day use and see how it would look after serious everyday use. I did think of getting a different hide! I do want to stay with the Raiders style because that is my favorite style jacket. I feel that TOD was a little too long and LC is O.K. but Raiders is style for me!
