Jacket or Whip

Ok so I've decided NOT to go with the Mutt TN jacket. However, now I am faced with getting a Jacka CS whip or a Wested TOD jacket. Please give me y'alls opinions. Thanks

Well, I saw your post on your new Nowak jacket. ;-)

Do you have a good whip?

This is one of the most apples and oranges things I have ever read. Do you currently have a jacket, or a whip? Do you already have more than one of each?

If so I would be more for the Wested. While the Jacka whip is nice because it's different, it's limited screen time and use in my least favorite movie would sway me to go TOD. I also like the idea of the original hardware Peter is using for the first 60-65 jackets. They most likely will not be available forever. I would say what do you NEED more?

where's the 'both' button?

if you buy just one, you'll always end up thinking about what if you bought the other.....save yourself the heartache and buy both.....the mortgage can wait

GET THE WHIP

I had to vote for jacket, because let's face it, a leather jacket is a more practical item. I wear mine for nearly half of the year, while I only take out my bullwhip for the occasional whipcracking session, and for photos. But it's up to you in the end, so choose... wisely. ;-)

jacket!....lets face it....peter wont do this that much longer...and his tod offering is one of the last things he will do...

Good point, Holt. I remember back in the late 90's when I was biting my nails at the prospect of dropping $500 on my first DM bullwhip. So I e-mailed David and asked him how long he would be offering the Indy whips for sale, and he replied: "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." Now look- 10 years later and he's not even making them anymore. His staff of trained whipmakers have taken over production. So yes, go for the LIMITED EDITION ToD Wested jacket!

The jacket receives my vote as well. Personally not a a fan of the Jacka whip's and you also have a very fine whip in your Strain. Another leather jacket is always nice, especially one as limited as Wested Leather's initial TOD offering.

Unless you'll be taming lions I would go with the jacket.

Gentlemen, I believe we have reached a consensus: Buy the jacket!!!

I will leave the poll open until 7:00 Central Time. Then I will make my decision ;-)

That is a great point, and the very reason I have spent much more coin on jackets than the whips. I get so much more use from the jackets with daily use.

Jacket. Definitely. Especially since the offer is extremely temporary.

Ok y'all, I have decided to go with the Wested TOD jacket. Thanks for y'alls opinions

Absolutely!

Ah man, you should have gone for the whip!!!

Just kidding... I voted for the jacket. Yoy made a good choice! A difficult one, but a good choice!

You gotta go for the jacket, its more practical. I don't know much about whips, but you already have a Strain which I hear is pretty nice. Besides the jacket is limited and like Holt and whipwarrior say, who knows how much longer Peter will be doing this?

Should I get a Jacka CS whip or a Wested TOD jacket?
