Wested Cotton Raiders jacket

Post by mdalbrit »

Does anyone have Wested Cotton Raiders jacket? What are yall's thoughts on it?

https://www.wested.com/authentic-summer ... 1976-p.asp

I'm thinking of getting one, but I'd appreciate any advice from someone who already has one. It looks like it'd be pretty comfortable especially for warmer months. And the price looks pretty good.

Many have had these over the years. Generally the jackets have received positive reviews.
There's a number of threads.

Here's one that has links to other threads.

Use "Cotton twill" as your search words and limit the search to the Leather Jacket section and you'll get many threads.

I still own and wear the prototype, and after all these years it’s still going strong.

Just don’t machine wash it. Dry clean only.

I too enjoy mine. It is still fairly warm to wear and, at least to me, has a generous, roomy cut to it.

I like mine. It is what it is. Very plain cotton jacket. I always joke that it should be the standard uniform jacket for UPS drivers!
