Club Obi Wan

I received an email from Wested this week. They are now offering a pre-distressed lamb hide for their jacket selections and yes, you can get 'Indy-styles' in this hide, but it is by special request at this time as supplies are limited. Here is Rebecca's reply on this question regarding 'Indy' jackets:

Hello William,



The pre-distressed lambskin is available to order straight away, for now the skin is by request only but hopefully we can bring it onto the website soon!



All the Best

Rebecca

From the small photo on my email of the hide -- it looks great ! Just thought I would give all here a head's up on this one ! W>

Thanks for sharing..I wonder if this is the same stuff i believe KT was showing sometime back as I believe he said that it was a special order. It looked really neat.

From the Wested thread:

It's been around for a little while now. KT's post with pics is about halfway down from October 25, 2013.

Interesting....from the email I received -- Wested is promoting this as something of a new nature for 'us fans' asking for this leather. The email also promotes some of their other items, for ladies, etc. W>

Wested have posted some photo's of their new pre-distressed lambskin on Facebook;

Just a note, the leather in that thread is shrunk lamb, same type as the one Gorak recently reviewed.

Thanks KT... Too darn many lambs running around to keep track of!

Ok! I responded to Texan Scott with this from the email, I received from Wested on this hide. Hope this posts and assists in what they state the offering is:

I can see from the pics, least I think so, that it's the same stuff. Shrunk lamb, I guess. It is veg tanned and can look a bit russet in some light.

I think its cool to offer a plethora of skins and hides as novelty Indy type jackets, but what about a solid, veg tanned lamb/sheep skin with some grain that looks almost black to the outside light?

jus' sayin'

Good point, however my purpose here -- was to simply share what Wested is offering now. W>
