As you can see, it's a Wested. Antique Lambtouch. Distressed myself & recently put in washing machine.
If anyone can tell me how to make the lower back look like the leather above the yoke, I would appreciate it. It has that 'marbled predistresed' look to it that I don't much care for.
This photo had some altering of the photo to make it look this good; this is what I want it to look like though.
This is what the jacket really looks like. I am trying to get it to look like the first photo.
I give up on the sideways photos, I can not for the life of me figure out how to get it to rotate vertically. ....pure luck on the first photo trying to use a different app that rotates each picture the way you want; I just can't reproduce it with consistency. Advice...keep it simple if ya do.

Re: A LC jacket
I took care of the photos for you.
In the future, turn of the rotation option on your phone before you take a photo.
Nice jacket

Re: A LC jacket
How is the fit of the jacket? Can you use the handwarmers and front pockets comfortably?
Re: A LC jacket
Hand warmer use is fine. I just can't lift my arms without the infamous flying squirrel effect.

Re: A LC jacket
I think it's it's a design flaw in the Wested pattern. The armholes are too low, and they pretty much all do that. It's the only thing I don't like on my LC.car96 wrote:Hand warmer use is fine. I just can't lift my arms without the infamous flying squirrel effect.
Re: A LC jacket
Worth noting that the flying squirrel effect is common in period jackets too. I have had several vintage jackets that behave this way. It's a common pattern flaw. The really well designed patterns don't do it.

Re: A LC jacket
All my Wested LC, ToD and Hero do it except the Raiders. My Schott half belt, Aero half belt, and Vanson also do it.CM wrote:Worth noting that the flying squirrel effect is common in period jackets too.
