New Wested Washed Goat and 1 year old Horsehide

Post by tomek9210 »

Some time ago I received my second Indy jacket. First one is Standard horsehide and the second one is ROLA Washed Goat. The horsehide with jumper is perfect for cold weather, but too warm when it's above 15 Celsius degrees. Washed Goat is very lightweight, thin and more matte. It's also lighter in color, horsehide is dark brown.
Shipping was crazy fast - jacket arrived in 3 days :)

Pockets on WG are a bit smaller. WG has gussets and bottom snap hidden in storm flap.

I haven't worn WG yet, because of weather, but I can say they are both amazing, just different. I like the heavyweight HH, it is built like a tank, starts to drape nice.
WG weighs almost nothing in comparison with HH. WG is more Indyesque, I have tried it for few mnutes and it started to have wrinkles.
Now I like HH more, because I can wear it in winter \:D/ But in spring I will fall in love with WG.
Yes Erik, it is perfect for ToD. I was considering that style of jacket too, but I don't like those small pockets and nylon lining.
Thanks guys and merry Xmas!
