I got my Wested custom Raiders today!

Post by zigmo »

On both first glance, and closer inspection I am absolutely thrilled by the quality and fit of this jacket!

I ordered the custom Raiders with Novapelle, and it is well constructed and the Novapelle leather is very sturdy.

Also, they were timely in delivering it to me (about a month), very courteous if I had any questions, and the cost was very reasonable. I will most definitely rate Wested a 10 out of 10 as far as meeting my expectations in every way.

I'll provide details and pictures later, for now I'm going to go wear this thing around town :)

I'm wearing my OTR ROLA Special offer, and it feels better and better each day...I intend to graduate to the custom in about a couple years...seems like a long wait...maybe the pictures will help that process along? ;)
Congrats on such a fine jacket!

Ok, here is one shot that demonstrated the 'weathering' of the Novapelle leather:

I absolutely love this worn look, and for my purposes (general wear) this is a great jacket. I have already gotten compliments on it after only one day of wear!

I'll post a couple pics of me actually wearing the jacket soon.

No clue honestly. I just choose novapelle from the dropdown menu. The color in the image is pretty accurate to real-life, though it's a hint lighter in the picture due to my camera flash.
