Leather types from Wested

Anybody know if Wested is planning on any new leathers for their custom jackets?
I think the most recent one was the washed goat, or maybe ginger novapelle.
Any info from your connections, KT Templar?
Gooch.

Holt posted some new samples he received.
On the web site there is a 'Novapelle antique brown' I hadn't noticed before.
I think it was mentioned before the 'worn look hide' is regular novapelle

Nope,
Belive me my friend, the "worn look" does not look like "novapelle" I received 2 samples from wested.
I didn't think the novapelle would look like that, nice hide but not what I am looking for.
BUT the "worn look" is fantastic for a LC jacket, I have to think about buying one (200€ is not big money but that's not free).
I have already a goatskin Raider...
By the way, does anyone here have a "worn look hide" jacket? Some pictures?
Best regards,
Nicolas

Ah, but did you get any samples of unworn novapelle by chance? Did that look like how you expected? For me the worn looks more like what I would expect than the unworn!

What kind style of jacket are you after? I have washed goat in ROLA and I love it! It's the perfect weight I think. My distressed hide is lighter weight. IMO.
