Any recent Wested Brown Cow or Brown lambskin?

Post by Kokopelli »

Has anyone ordered a jacket from Wested in either the standard Brown Lambskin or Brown Cowhide recently??

I'm leaning toward the 'Standard Raiders', but I cant decide between normal Brown Lambskin for a lighter weight jacket or Brown Cow...I requested an example of their Brown Cow about a year ago but didn't end up ordering. As big of a hassle as getting that sample from them was, I won't be doing that again!

Some outside pics, and a couple with it laying on my Wings Russet Indy…

The obviously distressed area on one half was my experimentation on the sample…the good looking section is from sanding and then redying with a saddle clolor dye.
Just sanding alone reveals an off-white undertone.

It’s a really nice looking leather, but a shame it doesn’t have brown undertones to begin with. Thanks for the pics. I like what you did with the saddle dye.
