Wested 'Hero' Dark Goat update

Post by Zoltar »

Here's my Wested 'Hero' in Dark Goat, nearly a year old now modeled by "my plastic pal who's fun to be with" so sizing might look a little off!
Worn almost daily and generally abused has given this one a lot of wrinkles and character but the goat's that tough there's vitually no signs of wear. Some of the wrinkles are straition like in appearance, see upper arm Pic. :tup:
Enjoy :TOH:

Looks like mine! :TOH:
The dark goat is a lovely leather and trully as tough as nails. I even tried acetone in some spots - didn't really do anything!
I don't baby my jackets. I wear them when I work outdoors and in any weather. My goat jacket has been subjected to quite a lot without much effect. Only one or two scratches when I was trimming trees. My SL on the other hand marks very easily. I bought 6 concrete slabs for the garden at the weekend, and after carrying them into the garden my jacket was noticeably more distressed!

Very nice grain. I have the same situation with me Authentic lamb Hero. I have purposely worn it in situations where I felt I would develop some great distressing and it virtually came out unscathed. The only thing that I can see that has happened from wearing it alot is that it has settled into my body shape and fits oh-so comfy!

I think this is one of the best leathers for a Raiders jacket that has been offered. I have one on order.

At any given time, Wested has quite a few different leathers in stock. IMO, this thin, dark brown goat is one of the best for a Raiders jacket. There were not many of these made. I had one, Zoltar and Whiskeyman, that I knew of.
