I've got two Wested Authentic lambs and have the same problem with both. The lining is too big for the jacket. As soon as I put it on, the sleeve lining billows out the end and I have to reach in the sleeve hole by my shoulder and pull the lining up so it's not sticking out the end of the sleeve. did that make sense?

also, on the last one I bought, the body lining sags to where it almost droops below the bottom of the back panel and sticks out.

is there a quick fix for this? a way to shrink the lining without affecting the rest of the jacket? what about getting it damp and then drying it with a blow dryer?

any input would be greatly appreciated...

I would take it to a tailor. Hopefully simply removing excess lining wouldn't be too difficult. I've heard of this problem, though I own 3 Wested jackets, and in all three, the lining is perfect.

I've only had this happen on one of my OTR Westeds

yeah, both of them are OTR. i guess i'll try and take it to a taylor.

thanks

Sorry to hear that Jo Jo.

I'm afraid mine doesn't have that problem, even though it's OTR...

Hopefully the tailor can fix it.

And now for a useless bit of information: my grandmother used to have a budgy called Jo Jo...

The satin lining in mine appears to have been too long for the sleeve as it sticks out of the collar of my jacket sleeves. No big deal cause I just tuck it back in but I can see where it becomes annoying...

That happens on the OTR washed goatskin jacket that I just bought from Whiskyman, which otherwise fit me terrifically -- thaniks WM! It's funny, I had just pulled the excess liner up from the shoulder before reading this thread!! I was thinking about having some of the excess liner removed from the cuff-side of the sleeves....

Shrink it in the dryer.

well i thought of doing that but wouldn't the heat also shrink the leather? then i'd be back to square one with a smaller jacket.

take it to a tailor Ibet it's a cheap and quick fix,my otr goat has had a few things that needed alittle attention, took it to my local tailor and now it's just right.
