Got a Wested today...what did I get?

[Kokopelli]

Here is a link to my auction -that has ended- in which I bought a jacket.
It fits me better than the custom Wested I had made and spec'd out of the wazoo....and better than the Wings I've had.

I'm waiting to hear from the seller, but I'm wondering if it is an 'off the rack' ROLA 44, if it is 'authentic-seal' brown or dark brown. A couple things that I'm curious about-
*no leather facings on the zipper.
*square slider buckles
*x-box stitching on the straps
*arm seams to yoke seams line up nice
*collar stand size and collar placement looks right
*one piece, small underarm gussets



for a 'standard' lambskin Raiders, this one seems to hit all the highlights.
I feel like I hit the jackpot on this one without trying!

Looks like a custom to me. Never seen an OTR with the collar ending in the middle of the stormflap like that before.
Very nice, congrats.

So would that be an "Imam visit" jacket?

Nice score!

...also just noticed small one piece underarm gussets
