This is my Wested washed goat after a year of wearing. I subscribe to the Michaelson School of Distressing motto, "Just Wear It." While I don't abuse my gear, I don't baby it either. I wear my gear on a daily basis, my hat 365 days a year, my jacket spring, fall, winter, and sometimes in the summer if it's cool. Bad weather does not kep me from wearing my gear.

I obtained this jacket third hand from a member here. I don't know what the spec's are on this custom order, I just knew that the sizes were just about right for me when I saw it for sale the first time. It was originally spec'd out by Coronado3. Maybe if he reads this he can chime in on the spec's. When I saw it up for a sale a second time, I jumped at it.

It has seen all types of weather, heat, cold, fog, snow, and a gully washer of a rain storm, viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49283 It was completely soaked through and through. As a side note, I never applied any dressing to the jacket prior to this soaking. After it dried, the leather really started to develope some character. The leather seemed to be a little thick and stiff, and was almost a greyish color. I finally broke out the Pecard's last weekend. As I was applying it, I could almost feel the leather relaxing as it soaked in the dressing. Here are the pics:

It's washed goat, 42 reg with a 26" back, an extra inch added to the front, PLATON sized pockets, long side straps with rec sliders... I think that was about it.
