Washed Lamb Color vs. Washed Goat Color

bigrex · Post by **bigrex** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 11:43 am

Just wondering if anyone knew which might have a lighter color, or if anyone happened to have side-by-side comparisons of Wested's washed goat vs. their washed lamb. My guess would be washed goat is darker, but I'm only guessing. I looked on Wested's site and separate photos of each jacket looks about the same color. This might be a question for Peter, but I thought it would spare bothering him if someone else on the forum already had the information.

I think that goat is darker. I have the washed lamb only, here's some pics, posted in another thread:

Washed goat is a dark leather - much darker than washed lamb. I originally had the washed lamb but exchanged it for the washed goat - and couldn't be happier!

Thanks Indiana Strones & Whiskeyman for the response. It also looks like the pockets on the goat are a little larger. I prefer the lighter shade just because I have a slight aversion to darker leather jackets, I don't like how I look in them. Looks like they both are a nice color, but I guess I prefer the lamb as far as color is concerned, although I suppose they both would look all right on me. If it's too light that is also just a bad as far as Indy jackets are concerned. I of course would prefer the durability of the goat. Thanks again.

The goat's a LC while the lamb was styled as a Raiders. I think that the pocket specs for those (even OTR) are different. Is this correct?

Raiders pockets should be larger than LC, but I think Wested make both the same size, although your LC seems to have larger pockets than your Raiders.

I think that's a distortion of the picture... If you compare the "flatter" pockets on those jackets, they look to be about the same size.

I REALLY like Wiskeyman's new jacket. I think the "washed goat" color looks great. I just love how "worn in" the jacket looks right off the rack.

Now are both the washed lamb and goat something Peter is just going to offer for a limited time or are these hides something that are going to be available for a while?

I don't have the money now to buy one BUT I'd like to know I can get one still in the next few months.

Washed lambskin is a limited edition of 20 jackets only:

This 'LIMITED EDITION' Special offer Raiders is made from special purchase soft brown 'Washed Lambskin'.

There is only enough skin to make 20 jackets (approx). Not repeatable and made to order by size only in our UK factory.

Well, I was going for the "washed goat"......Is it the same policy for that hide as well?

No.

Do we know if the 20 limit has been reached? I think in another thread someone ordered washed lamb but got the regular lamb? I guess that' another question for Wested. Maybe I'll shoot them an e-mail to be sure.

According to Wested website the jacket is still available.

I could've sworn LC pockets were larger because during the movie (LC) , they had to fit the Grail Diary in the jacket...and the Radier's pockets weren't large enough.

I too am interested int he LC goat version as its a good price and I'm looking for a good replacement for my custom Raiders LS from when I was 18

There is some artificial ight coming from the right-hand side of those pictures. Probably from an ordinary lightbulb.

For a better comparrison I'd love to see outdoor pics of those jackets.

So, the Washed Goat comes off more "worn in" looking?

I'm ordering a Wested next month and am seriously considering getting it in Goat.

Whats the process difference in "Washed" versus "Authentic"

And has anyone ordered a horse hide wested?

Also, do sliders hold better then D rings? I have D rings on my Raiders Wested and they've never held so good. I had to basically tie them to the rings...

their website still offers washed goat at an alternative....maybe not in a special but for a custom.

That washed lamb was a limited batch.

The washed goat is ongoing.

Hatch · Post by **Hatch** » Fri May 22, 2009 11:33 am

The OTR washed goat I got in Oct is much darker, is there a difference in the custom or has the one in the pics had some additional 'distressing'.........?

rover smith · Post by **rover smith** » Fri May 22, 2009 11:44 am

I would say the washed goat is dark compared to some of the other leathers we see around here, seems so on mine anyway.

Yeah , that's what I meant....the one in this thread is the lightest color I've seen but was from 08 or earlier.....??

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Fri May 22, 2009 11:54 am

Apologies for reposting this but it does illustrate the differences.

Washed Goat, Novapelle, Authentic Brown Lamb.

backstagejack · Post by **backstagejack** » Fri May 22, 2009 12:09 pm

I like the look of the Novapelle......is that good leather?

I've owned a Raiders lamb for about 10 years now....I'm ready for something different. I'm heavily thinking on getting a LC washed goat...or if the Novapelle works good....maybe that?

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Fri May 22, 2009 3:38 pm

The novapelle is cowhide, thicker and heavier than lamb. (About 3 times the weight), It makes a really good LC/CS (especially the Copper Novapelle for the CS). I've not seen a Raiders in NP. It would probably make a good tough looking one, but would loose much of the drape of the lamb.

backstagejack · Post by **backstagejack** » Fri May 22, 2009 4:01 pm

I gotta say, the novapelle has an allure to it....lol. Could i see more pics of it??

Kt Templar · Post by **Kt Templar** » Fri May 22, 2009 4:37 pm

Ha! You only had to ask!

This has had a couple of treatments of pecard.

backstagejack · Post by **backstagejack** » Fri May 22, 2009 5:05 pm

I think I'm starting to like novapelle more and more....Great pics btw!! Thanks!!

gwyddion · Post by **gwyddion** » Fri May 22, 2009 5:36 pm

You'll probably like it a lot more in person. It's a great looking hide which realy improves with age.

Regards, Geert

bigrex · Post by **bigrex** » Sat May 23, 2009 1:37 am

...but...I have to say the most recent run of novapelle I've seen is very dark, I would say off black in color, and this is what I was told was their last run of copper novapelle. They are supposed to have in some lighter material again but I'm still awaiting some samples in the mail that never seem to come...
