Wested Raiders GoatSkin
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.

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

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:

wested washed goat question
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.

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

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 ;-)
