Today, in the hall at school I did a little roughhousing with my friend, Lance. At one point, he grabbed my Wested Lamb and we heard a loud RIP noise, and at that point I knew the sleeve was torn. This is the same jacket that belonged to Indy Ken and he beautifully distressed. I'm afraid it's a little TOO distressed for my liking now.
Question is, what do I do? Do I send it back to Peter? If he replaces the sleeve, how much would he charge to fix it and would it look strange next to the distressed jacket? Or should I just.. *gulp* buy a new jacket? Someone.. help me out!
Thanks
Josh

Ok this should make you feel better,well maybe not.I git bout three rips in my wested,four bb sized holes.One hole was from a BB gun fight that I got into 
yeah that was fun point blank range to.The other three holes not realy sure how they got there I was able to super one of em back together the other one cant realy nottice it.Now as far as the tears two of em I was able to sow up myself.Turned out nice for a realy worn out rugged lookin lived in personl armor adventure eqeipment.The other tear happened when I was playing BBguns snaged it on a barbed wire fence havnt had time to fix yet.
Jacket is 3 n a half years old & for what ever reason it was that I asked Peter how much it would cost to replace the sleaves on the jacket was $25 smakes,that was three years ago not sure what it might be now though maybe someone else can help.I just wanted to let ya know that your not the only one out there with a torn jacket.I guess I need to put up some pics of it so everyone can examine it like a test subject gone bad,hehe.Just love my jacjet though.
As allways wear gear in good health & with attitude.

Aghh Josh! What are you doing to my jacket man! 
I wouldn't worry too much. If its torn at a seam where the stitching is it will probably fix up rather well. One of the pockets began to come off on mine once and I took it to a local leather repair shop and they sowed it up. Look at the pockets and tell me if you can identify which one it was!
I would just take it somewhere local and let them look at it. These things happen but usually they aren't a disaster.
