Club Obi Wan

Hello all,

I am a new member to community and live in Finland. I own 3 Wested jackets: 1 Raiders and 2 LC type jackets. Raiders jacket is almost 10 years old and I will post pictures of it later, the leather is predistressed hide. LC jackets that I have are authentic lamb and novapelle. Here are few pictures of the jackets taken while ago:





I have also one 10 ft 12 plait bullwhip made by giovanni celeste, other whip is on the way and I bought it from purewhips. New whip is going to be 8 ft 12 plait. I will post more pictures soon as I get the time to take the pictures.

I really like this forum and find lots of interesting reading here. I thought that I have to get active here because I was just "cleaned" out by forum admins because I had not posted anything, sorry about that

Br,

Hello and welcome! looking forward to seeing pics of your other gear too

Welcome aboard! Those are two nice jackets you have there. The novapelle hide makes an excellent LC jacket. I look forward to pics of your Raiders jacket.

All jackets together:

Is it the camera flash that makes them look so light brown?
I've been thinking of getting a Wested...I LOVE my Todd's jacket, I really do - but weathering the edges gives you a gray color and not that lighter brown color that is more screen accurate (and a tipoff of better leather).

it's the flash. 100%

Does anyone know how Wested's goatskin jacket compares to Todd's jacket as far as leather thickness, quality and weight?

yes, I can chim in here. I have a todds and a wested ''soft goat'' as they call it these days.

the goatskin will take abuse for at least 40 years.

its very soft, NOT thick and drapes perfect for a Indy jacket. when you compare the todds lambskin to the soft goat from wested you WILL feel a HUGE difference.

see my soft goatskin raiders jacket in my big thread.
