My Wested CS circa 2001

no, you didn't read that wrong -- in 2001, I got a Raiders predistressed cowhide and since then have had a few more Westeds - another cowhide and a lambskin in 2002 favouring my lambskin specifically.
As CS was due for release, I decided to have a local leather shop add poppers to the 2001 cowhide. Some might think such an action would make it more of an LC but it's a cowhide! It also has less scalloped pocket flaps, and D-rings.
observe..
So instead of paying out for a new Nowak, I just put a 'retired' Wested to new use! I specifically chose this jacket cuz I always thought it looked a lot like the scene where Indy is holding the flashlight, looking into the graveyard.
