Wested TOD jacket what leather?
Sorry, this one is a bit subjective and all about me.
I want to buy one of those fabulous TOD jackets from Peter, but I do not like lamb.
Should I go for goat or experiment with Horse?
Are there any problems in getting this jacket made in tougher hide?
Cheers

I thought Wested wasn't offering the ToD in cow or hh? Are they willing to make a ToD in thicker leathers as long as the buyer knows it'll be caveat emptor?
I like my authentic lamb but if I had it to do over again, I would go washed goat. It really looks the part out of the box. The auth lamb like the dark lamb looks TOO new. I'd have to do some drastic distressing for the auth lamb to look the part.

But I do not like lamb, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I would go with the goat too. Very tough. Great look IMO.

CM.....if you go with washed goat (which i believe is a wonderful draping, matte finish, tough hide), be sure to let wested know that you don't want any hide discolourations on it. the rejected batch of washed goat that peter turned away on his TOD jackets is winding up on his OTR offerings for some reason. ie - dark spine mark lines across the hide.
if you haven't seen what i'm talking about, just picture a jacket with a stripe down the back......if the contrast were reversed on the jacket, you'd have this guy chasing you with flowers and candy.......

I wonder if someone that got the washed goat when it first came out has pics on how it's weathering. I love the hide myself but (as I've posted before) I wonder how it will look in the long run. If it looks like a ten year old jacket in a matter of months, what will it look like in ten years?
Don't get me wrong though, I think it's a fabulous hide and one that looks the part right out of the package.

My washed goat looks great and I've been wearing it non-stop for the past few months. I really don't see this leather being less than long-lasting. A photo of the jacket today wouldn't look much different than when it was new this summer. In my thread about Peru I mention I beat on it daily for two weeks and it was great, so I'd have no trouble getting another one. It's my favorite leather so far, to be honest.
