So after seeing TC's amazing jacket, I couldn't not let him do the same to a new LC. Custom ordered, with a few 'special modifications' :).

Say, looking good! I am getting to like the LC style jackets more and more as time goes by. Will probably end up getting myself a new Wested within a year or so, and it will be an LC.

Great looking jacket, COW member "KT Templar". :TOH: But, as COW moderator "Indiana Holt" already inquired, what leather is the jacket? :-k

I've been visiting leather merchants over here, this is a lightweight antique cow that I found, has a reasonable drape and a nice finish.

Here's a close up.

1) Dunno, it's my size! (probably about 3")

2) A few! I got teased a little at the RMS, I brought 3 whips and 4 jackets, 4 holsters and 2 hats (plus various other stuff) to show. LOL

Great jacket KT!

Great look KT!! That is a fantastic fit. :clap:

Do you find the pockets too high to be able to use the hand warmers?

Yup, completely useless as handwarmers. That the curse of SA for you. :).

Totally different to novapelle, thinner and it doesn't have the silky nap that the NP has.

I like both, but being as this is the new girl, well you know... ;).

KT, did Peter way whether that new cowhide is going to be one of his offered hides? How does it compare to his "pre-distressed cowhide" that predated his novapelle? You know which one I'm talking about. Yours looks darker.

Thanks guys, I'm wearing this one a lot at the moment. :)

St.D. I bought this leather from one of the merchants I visited. It's not actually that dark, when untreated it has a unglazed look to start with, once you wet it and dry it it goes kinda glossy and TC then knocked that back.

It's actually pretty close to Peter's current pre-d he showed some to me as I was picking up this jacket and my immediate response was: "Oh, I hadn't needed to buy this 'specially!" :).

Mine may be slightly thinner than his normal pre-d, but I've not put them side by side.

It's important to note that whilst the cut and pocket shapes etc are all Wested, a very big part of how the finish looks on this jacket is from hard work.

Looks really good on you KT! Did you go with a wider stormflap?

Yes, but only slightly, it's 1.75". :)

but thats the standard for a LC/CS isnt it?

Re: Darn it, Bought another Wested!

Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2010 7:23 am

I thought the standard on the LC/CS was 1.5" wide unless you asked for a wider one. Maybe someone with a standard LC/CS without a special ordered stormflap can chime in?

Re: Darn it, Bought another Wested!

I think the standard may be slightly less 1.5" or so.

funny, I thought it was 1.75'' since my first CS jacket and the LC jacket both came with 1.75''
