It was only one hours drive and was really easy to find.
I walked inside and peter walked over, took one look at me in my FedIV and said I had the hat but needed the jacket, so I told him I was looking to get one in Goat. He looked me up and down, said I was a 44 long and picked out a jacket for me to try on.
It fit like a glove! Perfect fit! I was amazed. Perfect length, perfect shoulders, perfect sleeves. I couldn't believe it.
He said it was a goat, but not the washed goat as he didn't have one in my size, just the 44 regular, and that I was lucky as he doesn't usually have many "longs" in stock. I looked over the washed goat but actually didn't really like the colour of it compared with the one I tried on (and was still wearing).
Then I mentioned that Laura, my fiancé, was after a ladies leather jacket like one of the ones on the website, so he took us both to the ladies jackets and Laura tried on various jackets, and eventually ended up trying an a Layer Cake jacket that fit her perfectly except for the sleeves being too long, so Peter said he would shorten them on Monday and mail the jacket to Laura so she would get it on Tuesday (I had mentioned we were looking for jackets to take on our Honeymoon as we are getting married in a week). That's pretty quick work and I was very happy. I paid for the jackets and we left. We were only there for 30 mins - I thought I would be there for an hour or two.
I eventually took the jacket off 14 hours later when I went to sleep (considered wearing it to bed, but it was too hot)
Now I know people will want photos, so I had Laura take a couple on her phone when we were out today.
In the photos the jacket looks very dark, almost black, but it's actually a chocolate brown colour, but with grey-ish/greenish tones instead of reddish tones. It looks completely different in different lighting and I really love it!
Thanks Peter & Wested Leather!
