Vintage Wested Washed Lamb

Post by Gorak »

Here are some shots I took recently of my Wested in Washed Lamb That I purchased some time back from Tomek. Awesome leather and great jacket. Fits me a tad longer than I would like but it is a keeper. I love just looking at the grain.

And this is the infamous jacket with what I feel is the perfect sized yoke...the thinnest I have ever encountered on any jacket I have seen and looks spot on in my eyes.

a real gem of a jacket to me. Thanks again Tomek.

Washed lamb, huh? That looks like really good stuff. What about the undertones?

Do they still sell that leather?

The undertones seem to be kinda "tannish" believe it or not. I don`t think this particular type of skin is available. I understood that they use another washed lamb that is not simliar to this type. I don`t know the difference.

That looks really cool, Gorak :TOH: The color is exactly like my washed goat. Maybe not screen accurate, but certainly vintage looking. If you didn't consider it a 'keeper', I would be a 'buyer'. :D

RoLA pattern it looks like. Lighter in color, like the current SL. Grain has some character.

The old washed goat was great leather, but it had that greenish tint to it, is it the same with lamb?
