I can see from the pics what is wrong. Return it for adjustments or replacement no problem.
Cheers Peter

I have just been kneading the whole jacket with my hands...sitting on it, and stepping on it and I
think the distressing greatly resembles the Hawaii jacket in grain appearance..as there seems to
be slashes or cuts all thru out.

I had a Nowak Raiders Shrunken Lamb which was reported to be "the One" from the maker himself and the grain was too over the top. Very dino-skin as has been remarked. And even if the Real jacket did appear so in person, it still doesn`t fit what I selfishly believe I saw onscreen and I eventually traded it for a Todd`s. It was very thick feeling, didn`t sit right on me to my eyes, and just all around wasn`t doing it for me. I know thw jacket as an item is great and some of you guys have some real winners but it just wasn`t for me. And I feel the same about Wested`s new SL. Looks nice and I`m certain alot of you guys can carry it off but just not very Raiders to my eyes.
Here`s a few shots this morning I tried to take of the grain emerging from what appeared to be smooth Authentic lamb......Could the real jacket have been made of this type of leather ( not necessarily Wested current Authentic Brown Lambskin, but something simliar) and, with what it was put thru duriing filming and all the years hanging in Mr. Lucas`s office, just 'raisined' into this shrunken lamb texture?
Heres the bottom of the storm flap..

And here is a further back shot to show how the grain just blends with smooth spots...and note the color change too as it darkens for some lighting reason...

and these are the only two photos I could find of my Nowak for comparison....

my opinion....WAY too grainy and looking nothing like what I see onscreen.

If the seal brown looks like the Crispe seal brown, than I prefer the dark brown.

With the Hero Standard option, it appears as though you have a choice of seal brown lamb, dark brown lamb, seal brown soft goat and pre-distressed (cow) hide. Are these ready pre-made jackets, OTR?
