Post by ReturningSon »

I need to ask a few quick questions...I am planning to order a Horse Hide Custom made ROTLA jacket and I need to know which is more SA?

D Rings
Slider

with/without X box stich?

Gussets, extra pocket?

And, anyone has any pics of the "worn look hide" option? That might be interesting.

Thanks for helping a lazy gearhead out! :)

This is why I wanted to make that thread a sticky...

Here's the link to all you'd ever whant to know about the raider's jacket.

READ IT ALL and then place an order with the vendor of your choice.

viewtopic.php?t=35782

I choose Wested for my last purchase; the link is here:

viewtopic.php?t=34239&highlight=

Holt's jacket is fantastic; however bear in mind his was a near total re-design from the ground up. Mine is a listing of modifications I made TO FIT ME properly from the standarfd wested offering. Remember to size and scale it (if you choose to) to fit you. You are not Harrison Ford, so having his exact jacket will probably not look very cool on you...

Good luck and happy reading!
