Hey guys, IndySoldier here. I'm new and have started to put together my ensemble with an akubra federation IV which I love by the way. I was interested in getting a Raiders goatskin from Wested and wondered if you guys had any pictures of that jacket that could help me in my decision. Thanks so much.

Get the Wested Goat. It´s an awesome jacket. Ask for one made in the UK. In my opinion, they are the best.

I have to give praise to the washed goat as well. It's a very nice leather and a very SA look.

get the regular goat, that's what I have and I love it. Plus it is extemely tuff and takes alot of abuse.

I love my washed goat. It's thin, lightweight, but very tough.....an ideal fall jacket. It also drapes as well as a lamb. I also love the matte color. To me, the color looks closer to the actual screen jackets than the regular goat. It's a great jacket for a fantastic price.

How is the thickness of the leather? Same thickness between the washed goat and regular? Are they about as thick as lamb or heavier?

I got this second-hand a while back so it might not be representative of the current product, but here's my Wested goat:

This is my Washed Goat LC.
It's definitely one of the BEST Wested jackets I own.
I highly recommend it

The Regular goat jacket? Is it the Raiders goatskin or the Special Offer soft goat?

i want a OTR raiders washed goat. However, I do not see that on the Wested website. I see a LC washed goat but not a Raiders in washed goat. So what did you order from Wested ?

It's right under the LC on Wested's site.

Nice jacket but it does not look anything like a LC jacket. why is it even called an LC - it is a generic Raiders type jacket. Which is fine.

If you look at the jacket it's actually somewhere between a LC and a CS. CS type pockets, (rectangular pockets with a small radius at the bottom corners and minimal scalloping), CS storm flap studs, collar. I can't tell if it has the double seam on the shoulders. It also has the normal hem seam that 99% of Westeds have.

Basically if it didn't have the hem stitch and did have the extra shoulder stitch, and d rings. it would be a SA CS.

CM · Post by CM » Sat Oct 25, 2008 9:32 am

The pocket positioning is all wrong for a CS - too low. Also the pockets are too delicate in shape for a CS. As I said, nice jacket, but it isn't anything in particular.

I have a Goat OTR Wested; could not be happier. Tough, and very reliable. Good quality stiching, leather and craftmanship.

Peter has a great product, and if you do not have one, and can afford one; I would advise you to get one. I may even get a CS in Goat Rather than COW if I could ever get another jacket.

Basically I love Goat ;-)
