My new wested, pocket comparison

Post by Mike Bolton »

I got another Raiders jacket from Wested, with a cotton lining, the right inner pocket with the larger leather facing, slightly longer sleeves.

I'm kinda torn on which lining I like better. The satin moves over shirt sleeves easier, but is sticky if I sweat. Still undecided.

And the thin leather on the inside pockets does not affect the drape as much as the full facing.

Here's me in the first jacket:

In the second:

And a comparison of the smaller vs larger pockets.

Not a huge difference, but I think the smaller pockets look better.

Interesting... you chose dark brown both times, also the smaller pocket is only a small difference but it does look better in proportion to the jacket. I prefer the more rounded lower corners too.

What's the difference on in the pocket size on your jackets 1/2"?

Zip the second one up and shoot another picture in a similar pose as the first one if you can. They both look great in reallity but I think the second one with slightly longer sleeves would look better and also I'm totally for the smaller rounder pockets.

There isn't much difference in those pockets. Here is a comparison of Wested pockets and Flightsuits, which is made from a screen used jacket. The bigger Wested is on the left :wink:
