New Wested standard goat Raiders
Hi all
Received my Wested standard goat Raiders today. Looks like I caught my size. Remembering my torment with my size choice I want to share my measurements and some photos. Hope it will be useful to someone.
My chest is 40", weight is 150 p, height is 5' 8,75". I wear Levi's truck driver jacket "S", Levi's jeans W 29.
The Wested standard Raiders I ordered is 38.

Looks like a custom fit. Such a great feeling to order online and get a jacket that fits so well.

Looking great! My new Wested is about a day off arriving, if the DHL site is accurate!

Re: New Wested standard goat Raiders
That is an amazing fit, the jacket looks great on you!
Thanks for sharing, the measurements help me a lot. I used to be a size 46 when I got all my Wested jackets. But now they are all too big for me. At some point I want to get 1-2 new ones that fit properly. I thought I should get size 42. According to your experience a 38 would fit me better... This will be a head scratcher...
Cheers,
Bear

Re: New Wested standard goat Raiders
Is there a light leather wested jacket, I have read about it and the leather seems to be quite heavy, I would like to find a accurate jacket, but preferably from very light leather, and if possible for quite reasonnable price, it seems regarding the cost the wested is very good, but it also seems quite heavy.

Re: New Wested standard goat Raiders
I have the Wested ToD in lamb and it is quite light. Much lighter than their goat hide I would say. It is my "warm" weather choice.parfaitelumiere wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2024 12:38 pm Is there a light leather wested jacket, I have read about it and the leather seems to be quite heavy, I would like to find a accurate jacket, but preferably from very light leather, and if possible for quite reasonnable price, it seems regarding the cost the wested is very good, but it also seems quite heavy.

How's the current goatskin hide? I emailed Wested about getting some leather samples and never got a reply.

Hi, I can say I like the goat I received. But I don't have anything to compare with. It's my first Wested, and it's my first goat. May be a little less grey and a little more brown would look better.
