Best leather for a Wested LC Jacket

Post by alex1152 »

Hey guys!
I'm about to place my order for a last crusade jacket but I'm not sure which leather I should get to achieve the characteristic look of that specific jacket.

Any suggestions?

I'm also wondering if there's any special thing I should ask for to get it as SA as possible.

Actual was thick lamb, but cow is also used in repros.

hi, i'd go with the novapelle or the pre-distressed (worn hide). also request no 'inner facings' and with the last crusade pattern you might want to add the under arm gussets.

Based on the pictures here and on Wested's site, I'd say lambskin. Check out the other Last Crusade jacket threads on the forum, and you'll see some of the most screen accurate ones have been in lamb. For a tougher hide, novapelle is great (regular for a darker look, copper for browner). There's a loads of great threads here in the jacket forum, so be on the lookout for some specs and pics (definitely worth researching first!).
