Washed Goat

Mississippi Jones · Post by **Mississippi Jones** » Tue May 20, 2008 2:23 pm

Any word on Peter and his new Washed Goat leather?

Indiana G · Post by **Indiana G** » Tue May 20, 2008 2:27 pm

it's underway....he's got the 2nd goat washed now but the 3rd one keeps getting away cuz of all the soap.......

sorry....i'm stupid....i couldn't resist.....

i have seen a sample of the washed goat and it does look really good. the proof is when a jacket is made from it though. i'm hoping that it will keep all of its "dark" characteristics without the predistressed look of the novapelle (which turns out very nice when you pecard it btw).

can't wait to see

Oh, okay. I was just wandering. I would really like to see it.

Peter now has some CS jackets in stock in the washed goat. Sorry about the crummy pics.

Mississippi Jones · Post by **Mississippi Jones** » Sat May 31, 2008 12:42 pm

So that's washed goat? How does it feel? Tell us about it! It looks nice? How heavy is it?

It's very light almost feels like lamb. Very supple. Almost completely matt, looks a bit like waxed cotton, will make a super Raiders jacket.

KT - That looks just the ticket for my next trip to Africa - needs to be light, supple and strong. (Believe it or not some of the places I've been there do get cold at night). How long do you think until this option is available in the Raiders style?

I will be coming to England in August and will definitely be dropping by Wested's to meet Peter if available and try on some jackets to find something suited to my 5' 8" +/- frame. Perhaps we could meet up for a beer beforehand?

Africa.

MMMM beer!

You bet, drop me a PM nearer the time.

Indiana G · Post by **Indiana G** » Sat May 31, 2008 7:20 pm

kt....could be the pics, but it doesn't look washed enough....the matte finish does't show up in the pics.....got any closeups?

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Sat May 31, 2008 7:33 pm

Fraid not, no one seems to be able to take clear pics with my camera except for me!!

It's really frustrating, hold the darn thing steady and wait for it to take the darn pic how hard can it be!

Does the washed goat come in dark brown? OTR or custom?

Piers · Post by **Piers** » Sat May 31, 2008 9:34 pm

I think I've picked my Raiders leather

Time to start taking measurements

It's just one colour, seem like a seal brown. OTR CS available now, custom when they get some more skins in (don't know when).

Here's one more pic courtesy of IndianaGeo.

That looks really nice. I'd love to see some closer pics, see how distressed the leather looks.

From these pics, however, I think I might have found my next jacket purchase.

PSBIndy · Post by **PSBIndy** » Sun Jun 01, 2008 10:49 pm

What's the real difference (or benefit) between the washed goat and regular goat again? Does the "wash" make the goat skin any less durable?

Post by **Holt** » Sun Jun 01, 2008 10:55 pm

no I am sure it wont make it less durable..it just the finish of the jacket.

Peter told me that more washed goat will arrive in about alittle under 2 weeks...

I have placed my order for a custom raiders in washed goat..cant whait...

Interesting. I thought it would look more pre-distressed (colour-wise) than it does. Maybe it's the pictures though.

what's the cost on that, if I may ask.. that's exactly what I'm planning, something as SA as can be made quickly

I love the color on that! I think goat is a sure bet for me then. thanks for the pics

Tollan · Post by **Tollan** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 5:53 pm

What's the grain like? It looks quite smooth for goat. I really like the finish on it, I have to say

PSBIndy · Post by **PSBIndy** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 5:57 pm

I was just told by Wested that they don't have any washed goats in stock at the moment but will get them "soon."

Mississippi Jones · Post by **Mississippi Jones** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 4:42 pm

I can't wait until they get more washed goat in and start taking custom made orders.

St. Dumas · Post by **St. Dumas** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 4:58 pm

Wested is still taking custom orders in the sense of creating a jacket based on your measurements and the options listed on its website. That's my understanding of a custom jacket anyway, and they never stopped doing that.

My understanding of the retreat from uber-customization is that Peter is merely holding off on accepting precise measurements on things like the pockets, heights of side straps, height of yoke etc., and may never go back to them.

So he is taking orders? How do I choose "Washed Goat" under the "Choose your leather" tab? I would love to place an order!

I ordered an OTR CS washed goat today. Gemma told me that custom washed goats are not available now but maybe soon.

PETER · Post by **PETER** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 5:10 am

I had only 1500 ft of skin which I gave to my outdoor unit to make CS style jackets. Unfortunately they cut it all up bar a few smaller skin too small for raiders backs.
So I have more skin in work to make custom jackets with comiing next week. I will also make some OTR raiders with it.
I have a similar quantity of washed lamb which I am making some OTR raiders with. Confusing I know but I bought the skin off the shelf as I liked its heavier weight although in certain light it has an olive tinge.
Cheers
Peter

Mississippi Jones · Post by **Mississippi Jones** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 7:40 am

Ahh, thanks Peter! An olive tinge? Well, I'll just have to see for myself. Thanks again, Peter.
