New Secondhand Wested Raiders

Post by BaptisteTheFool »

Bought this secondhand from a member here. It's in goat and far more SA than my previous jacket-- fits me incredibly well. Sleeves are a bit long, though not as long as on my other jacket, and I can just fold them in anyway...

A few quick pics:

  • all cotton interior
  • no leather facings
  • x-box stitching and black rings on the straps
  • misaligned arm/ yoke seam


Had a bit of trepidation in getting another goat jacket right now. I'm between jobs and wanted my second jacket in lamb anyway, but I couldn't resist this jacket and I'm glad I took the plunge. Perhaps not wise in the short-term, but I imagine I'll be enjoying this beautiful jacket for a long time to come.


Thanks again, Adam!

Looks great man! Better on you then me! :tup: Glad you like the jacket, enjoy it! If the arms are a little long, any tailor can bring them up a bit for you, shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you, sir!

Seems my wish for heavy rain was answered. Think I may brave the humidity in this thing today. It's like a sickness but I just can't wait to break this thing in. :)
