This is my friends jacket, made about 6 months ago. It's had a bit of wear and no pecards.

It has more SA straps and pocket flaps than mine I noticed!

It's a BIG jacket about a size 50.

This stuff wears in quite well. IMO.

That is beautiful! I'm starting to really like the predistressed hide.

i can attest that novapelle wears in veeeeeeeeryyyy comfortabley once its molded to you.

cheers,

G,

I'll let you have that one!

The stitched seam around the bottom of the jacket seems to be a Wested hallmark. Even the Skulls prototypes had it. I'm sure they can omit it if asked.

BTW I noticed that at least one of the jackets in the Raiders "drag under the truck" scene has this seam, makes me believe at least one of the jackets in that scene was a Concessionares jacket.

Haven't seen a jacket made up in the washed goat yet... they are imminent if not already in situ. I've seen one made of the washed lamb, looks like it's done several rounds with the German Mechanic!

Excellent, for anyone with a slight green deficiency under strip lighting.

.

The slight greenish hue of the first batch of washed lamb is not evident under daylight oddly enough.

It's just that particular batch of leather, don't worry about it. It's not being used.

Would that be the Wilson's jacket, lacking the action pleats?
