My Wested Special Edition Washed Goat LC has arrived. I have been emailing Gemma and have had no problems with replies and service. All my emails were replied to quickly with needed info. The last email I sent had my order number and was requesting a shipping date but I had not heard back....then the knock on my door yesterday morning! I tried to take a few photos but am a novice at this.
Here are my first impressions of the jacket. The color is spot on to what everyone has been saying. It definitely is a darker brown but is by no means anywhere close to being confused with black. Two of the photos I have posted were with two other pairs of brown shoes to try and get an idea of the true color. Also tried it with and without flash. I have to wait till I can get a hand with the camera for some shots with it on. The weight is ideal for a spring/fall jacket. I went with the LC style for that purpose so on colder days I can just layer up a little more. After reading some other posts, I was a little worried about possible workmanship errors but after looking the whole jacket over, I could not find a single loose stitch, thread or bad seam! I am nothing but impressed with this jacket...it was love and first sight!
The only downside I can find is that with the LC style it has a little bit of a taper towards the waist that I am not used to in a jacket. When the jacket is zipped up, there is a little bit of tightness and pulling through the chest. This is very minor and not noticeable unless you are really trying to find it.
I did a quick search on how to load the photos directly into the post but couldn't find anything on it. If anyone has the directions or can shoot me a message on how to do this, I will give it a shot.
Enjoy!

From your pics I really can't understand exactly the colour. In the flash pics it looks similar to the novapelle, but doesn't seem darker than auth. brown... 
It's very easy to post pics here:

Re: Wested Washed Goat LC
The tightness in the chest you are mentioning is a result of the sleeve placement: the sleeves of the LC/CS jacket are cut more to te front of the jacket, so if you move your arms back the chest tightens up. This is normal and according to Holt exactly as they should be.Parkpiper wrote: The only downside I can find is that with the LC style it has a little bit of a taper towards the waist that I am not used to in a jacket.

You use photobucket, so the only thing you should have to do to post pics is to look at the list of codes that are below the picture and copy the IMG code and paste it in your post.Parkpiper wrote: I did a quick search on how to load the photos directly into the post but couldn't find anything on it.
