So my new jacket arrived today and I love it. I ordered it on March 10 and just arrived today April 28. This beauty is a custom washed goat 46L in ROLA style. The first thing that I noticed was the weight compared to my other jacket, the washed goat is much heavier. My first jacket which is almost a year old is a distressed hide 44L Custom L.C. The new jacket is so soft and smells leathery I just love it! Here is some pictures of my old and new jacket.

Thanks all for listening to me ramble on like a kiddy school boy. I just love this new jacket. Also Wested thank you so much for a wonderful jacket!

What are front and back lengths on both, and what are sleeve length on both.......looks like body quite a bit shorter on ROLA, with longer sleeves........as it should be for 'Raiders look'
The new jacket looks great Zane! Hopefully it breaks in just as good as your other one. Great to see your happy with the Wested. Now I'm really really looking forward to getting my Wested... about one week down for waiting, and a few more to go hopefully...

Okay I just measured the jacket:
New jacket back length 27 inches
Old jacket back length 28 inches
New sleeve length 26.5 inches
Old sleeve length 25.5 inches
So the new one is 1 in shorter in body and 1 in longer in sleeves making for 2 in difference from old......just seems to give it the look of the of a Raiders to my eye....how does it fit on you ?

I love the fit of this jacket! It’s a teensy-weensy bit big on me, but in the cold winters around here I can layer with this jacket.
