That novapelle looks better and better every time I see it. Definitely considering this for an LC jacket.

Looks like you have a really good fit there! Be sure to post some more pics of your jacket after you've broken it in a bit. We would love to see that!

Novapelle is definitely the 'hot' leather this season (no pun intended). It looks great, has a nice medium weight, and a drape comparable to the original movie jackets (particularly if you don't get zipper facings). I haven't seen a novapelle owner yet who wasn't satisfied with their jacket.
Wested RULES!

Mine *****!..........Just kidding
..In my opinion, the 2 best and most popular jackets this year has been the Wested Novapelle and Tony Nowak. Both feature excellent quality, workmanship and features. (I'm most surprised that the TN has sold so strongly given it's relatively high price....some guys here are buying multiple TN's!....a testament to the great service and product provided by Tony).

Novapelle is a beautiful leather, but is NOT screen accurate in an original trilogy Indy gear perspective. May be it's similar to the KOTCS leather, as both are predistreessed cowhides. JMO.

right now the only problem is that it is really warm outside,so guess i´ll have to wait for october to start using it regulary.
i´m not that much into sa, i prefer a good fit and a good looking leather, and boy this novapelle sure is a beauty!!.can´t wait for good rain to start distressing it.
again can´t thank enough peter for another masterpice

Your jacket looks great!!
Just like mine. My Novapelle arrived today. And today I realized that, although I really love living in Florida and the great hot weather, it is not totally compatible with my love of leather jackets!

That is one sweet jacket. The fit looks awesome!
Is it the 80's cut or are all Raiders made like that now?

I'm not waiting! I wear mine inside in the air conditioning. My wife keeps asking me when I'm going to stop wearing it. The last time she asked me that was this morning, when she woke me up...

There will never be enough good things i can say about Peter and jackets. I have a OTR Goat Raiders and i am wearing on the way to work in London. I absolutely love wearing this jacket. The rain here is doing wonders to break it in. I really like the look of yours; it fits you how a good jacket should. Well done on picking a winning jacket. I love the type of leather you chose too; you have one of the best.
God bless you.
Paul.

well,after almost a month of continuing use, all i can say is that this leather rocks!!!
during nights temp go below 5 degrees, and just put a t-shirt under the jacket.
also the rain does marvelous effects on novapell.the jacket gets darker and darker.
here is a photo from today, just before going to the mall to do some shoping.
sorry for the low quality of the picture, it was made with my iphone.
