deleted my thread by mistake. lol..

new pictures will come

[Ian]

Was gonna say that it looks perfect to me. ...The colour is spot on, again IMO....You always leave the straps open?

I've got a pre-distressed cow hide and the colour looks lighter than yours....Love the hide though...

Alright…new dad advice. Sleep when the baby sleeps. Don't make us take away your mod keys.

[Holt]

Cowhide Raiders, as in Wested Cowhide Raiders?

Very nice. Excellent drape- must be a fairly thin cowhide

Beaaautiful jacket Holt...
Liked the colour. Nice backpanel

congrats

Wow, Holt. Is this the lambtouch cowhide you told me about? And are the seams distressed? That is very beautiful...from one man to another. When I get me jacket from Tomek I am going to set up a poll to help decide which one I am going to distress to screen accuracy ...even down to the bullet hole...just for fun. I have way to many jackets already so time to start expiramenting. But if this is a lightweight cowhide you got there, I may be in the market for one more jacket.
yeah, how many times have we all said that?

cant wait to see more pics..show em, show em!

[Holt]

yeah, it is a heavier jacket but it drapes really good. I dunno if this is lambtouch, dont think so.it's got a good heft to it but not armor like leather. It doesn't have any size tags but it's a 46. I suspect it's an old model wested. 2005 I think. I got it a few years ago.

yes, the jacket is distressed.

[Holt]

here is a side view.

[eaglecrow]

the collour reminds me a bit of my recently sold wested HH which was pretty grey. I'd love to see some more pictures of thatjacket, especcialy to get an idea of the actual collour. What about the collour underneath the surface, is it a brown or more of a grey collour aswell?

[Holt]

yeah, it has a fleshy greyish undetone. not brown.

[Gorak]

I absolutely love "action" shots...they really seem to show the magic if the jacket has the Raiders spirit or not...and this particular one is the most definitive for Raiders that I have ever seen out of your collection or any other for that matter. I have only seen one TN that looked perfectly accurate to me and this one sits right next to it on the top of the SA pyramid for Raiders.
Awesome and thanks for sharing!

[Holt]

thanks. well, I personally think my goatskin is the most accurate one. I see it especially when I do a side by side.

like this..

[Gorak]

I forgot about that one....and thats where I think you have earned much respect and have a solid right to your opinions as you have always backed up your "this is screen accurate" comments with actual film frame side by sides. No one can argue when the evidence is sitting right there in front of your face.
Awesome jackets....someday, I'd like to see them all together.
