My Wested washed lambskin SPECIAL EDITION is here....

Holt · Post by **Holt** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 4:01 pm

keep it of course.this hide will last so much longer then the washed lambskin.

you will LOVE the look of it after months of wearing.trust me.

it fits perfect and it looks awesome..

KEEP IT. but your call of course

I agree that that isn't the washed lamb. I recently got my ROLA special though and I really prefer it to the washed lamb (not knocking that hide though as it's nice too) so it might be a happy accident. I washed it to knock the sheen off and I think it's now my favorite (until the next one).

Like has been said, it's your call but I think I'd keep it. It looks great.

Thanks Kt Templar, I will send Peter an e-mail. However since the weekend is here, I probably won't get a response until Monday or Tuesday.

It does look like a nice jacket, and I do like it. Maybe I'll keep it as a dress jacket. I do think I was charged for the washed lamb, and if I got a reg lamb, could I use the refund to help pay for another jacket?

Is there much of a difference in in price? I sure you can.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 4:11 pm

It's about a $20 difference.

I've been wanting a washed goat, so that might have to be my everyday wear jacket. And I will just keep this one for the dressier moments.

just make sure to return it if they send you a regular goat on the next go round ;-)

like i said, wested's lamb is beautiful......for chrome tanned leather

Ah, I just found another piece to the puzzle. I discovered an invoice, and it says I was charged $150 for the jacket, and $20 for shipping, bringing my total to $170.

However, according to my bank account, they charged me $299.05.
So there is obviously a BIG difference from what I ordered and paid for to what I got.

I am not mad, I know mistakes happen. I really like the jacket I got and I am pretty glad I got it. So hopefully Peter can take $129.05 off of my next jacket purchase...

I did e-mail him (before the invoice was found) and told him the problem, so I will wait and see what conclusion he comes to.

Your jacket is regular lambskin auth. brown. I suggest you to keep this jacket, as it's a better colour than washed lamb.

And, 299 $ is the right price of this jacket, it's impossible you paid 170 $ only... ;-) Probably 170 is the price in pounds (should be 165, to be exact.)

Have a look at this post:

Indy Strones has a good point......Does the invoice say 170 Pounds or Dollars? 170P would be the equivalent of $300 or so.

Nice jacket by the way!

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:38 pm

I think you guys are right, however it doesn't have any dollar symbol at all. Just "150.00".

So, can anyone post a link to exactly what jacket I got?

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:41 pm

$299 would be about right for a washed lamb I think that's about £135 + £20 shipping give or take. £155 is about $300.

The OTR lamb is actually £145 so you were undercharged if that is what you received.

The $150 invoice is probably for 'customs' purposes.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:43 pm

So does anyone know what I should do? I mean, I already sent Peter an e-mail saying I got the wrong leather from what I ordered.

I guess I will just have to wait and see what Peter has to say.

Indiana Strones · Post by **Indiana Strones** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:46 pm

I think it's a regular 145+20 jacket.

Live rates at 2008.10.03 21:44:17 UTC
165.00 GBP = 292.398 USD
United Kingdom Pounds United States Dollars
1 GBP = 1.77211 USD 1 USD = 0.564300 GBP

I suggest you to KEEP the jacket!

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:48 pm

Remember there may be some loss due to the credit card not giving the best rate and/or to any service charge they might slip in.

Indiana Strones · Post by **Indiana Strones** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:48 pm

Why you ordered an OTR and receive a custom?

Are you that "Nicholas Narog" written on the custom tag? Or not??

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:50 pm

Oh, I am the Nicholas Narog that is on the tag.

I am just going to see what Peter says and he and I can go from there.

For $300, that's one awesome jacket and a bargain too. Looks like a keeper to me. Enjoy!

jnicktem,
that is a great looking jacket, I would keep it. looks awesome.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 5:59 pm

Actually, for me, the total cost I paid for this jacket was $325.91.

Dang customs...

Texan Scott · Post by **Texan Scott** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:11 pm

What is the 'washed' effect? Is it chemical or water?

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:24 pm

Oh, and to add to all of this rambling, I wasn't over-charged or under-charged for the jacket... that is if you count out the customs fee. The only problem is it isn't the jacket I originally wanted.

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:32 pm

Have a chat with Peter, I am sure you can come to an amicable arrangement.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:34 pm

Will do. Due to the time difference, and the fact I don't know how Wested operates, when would be the best time to get ahold of Peter?

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:41 pm

Peter is usually in the office all saturday. We a on GMT +1 British summer time.

Currently it's about 23:40.

I'd hazard a guess and say phoning at 9 am your time would be reasonable.

jnicktem · Post by **jnicktem** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:42 pm

Thanks again Kt Templar! I am busy for the most part tomorrow, so an e-mail will have to suffice at first.

The washed lamb color looks really ideal to me. Not too light, not too dark, not too oversaturated, or washed out, and just about the right shade. You have chosen wisely.

Yes, but he received a regular lambskin, not a washed. I have both, and prefer the regular, so I suggest to keep that beautiful jacket. Just MO.

I was talking to you Indiana Strones and looking at your photos of the washed lamb. ;-)
