I got my Wested custom Raiders today!

[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.

[Gigetto]
