Tough decision, need help

You'd think that after being in this hobby for a long time it would be easy to make a decision on a jacket... NOT true.

I wanted to get y'all's advice on which jacket I should get, a TOD or a Raiders.

While the choice has to be the one that ultimately makes you happy, I say Raiders. I just cannot get past the small pockets on the TOD... However, if it was me (and its not) and I was torn, I would get a TOD cut with normal Raiders pockets. I don't give a flip about SA anyways.

One question - how many jackets do you have right now? What styles?
Just buy the missing one or if you already have all 4, go with one of variations of that you like the best, for example, if you have 'hero' raiders, go with 'imam' raiders' or if you have 'hero' crusade, order 'smithsonian' version.

Raiders is always a good idea.

Full length trench. Alligator hide in purple would be my call.


Wait, is this not pimpsgear.com?

I just got my Raiders cowhide from Wested, and it is nice!!! It is a nice thick, heavy leather that I'll get years of abuse out of. If you were after something less stiff, goat is seriously nice- soft and good looking. I can't comment on Wested's goat though, as I have never felt it. I'll probably get a goat ToD next, followed by a horse something yet to be decided.
