After initially having a few bad events with the Raiders Special Offer, I decided to go with a custom jacket made in good old England and boy did they get it right. My order was for a Raiders in lamb...
All the nerdy details I was after are on this jacket, x-box stitching, rectangular sliders, rounded top collar, piped internal pocket and no facing on the zip which is nickel and extends to the bottom of the jacket.
I didn't specify pocket size, but it seems Wested have taken on board the slightly smaller Raiders pocket size and scalloped flaps that look great.
It's good to have a vendor that listens to us and is keen on doing things right.
WOW! Peter, I've been a hard critic of constant Wested errors but it seems the last several jackets have been flawless and all the details met. PLEASE keep up the great work!
That is a beautiful jacket Neolithic, thanks for putting up the pictures. It looks exactly how mine turned out. Very nice jacket, wear that one well. From going to the movies people told me I needed to put some dirt on my jacket. For me I am going to wear it and distress it naturally how a jacket should be distressed. Anyway, nice jacket again. Peter keep up the fine work your doing a great job.
That is a gorgeous jacket! I'm a thinking it is going to soon be time for another Wested. I love my Wested goat, but all of the new jackets he is pumping out over there look fantastic!
I agree. Thinking about getting a new wested or TN soon. My wested from 05 is lacking a bit - lack of scalloping pockets, the back panel is too high up and the pleat is way too wide (not sure if these 2 issues are fixed now?). Also I'm not happy with the overall fit.
