Post by tomek9210 »

Hi, I want to show you my custom indy jacket. I've ordered it on 8th January and I've received it on 11th February.
It's 40 size, back length is 27", sleeves are also 27". It's standard raiders in horsehide.

It's heavy jacket, package weight was 2 kg (4 pounds). The color is beautiful dark brown.

I was already thinking of ordering an ROTLA in HH, seeing how nice this jacket looks, it's getting very difficult to resist!! Gotta love that dark brown!!

Just wait until the grain starts to pop out on that jacket, you'll grow to like it more and more. I only sold mine because of a continuing obsession. :x

That's a very nice looking jacket. I agree with Holt that it looks a little long or maybe even a little bit large. My eyes are probably drawn into that because the jacket is so new and shiny. Wait till it starts to break in a little bit. I would love to see a post of a new photo someday after she's gotten a chance to break in. Enjoy it!

Tomek9210 that’s a beautiful jacket! Congratulations my friend.

The length is fine and it looks fantastic on you. Horsehide is my favorite leather from Wested. The more you wear it the better it looks. Crismans is right - you’ll like it even more when the grain starts to pop.
