I bought this Wested Raiders Hero in September of 2017, so it's almost 1 1/2 years old. So far it's held up extremely well. I've worn it in every season,
including snow and always when it rains. No problems with craftsmanship whatsoever.

That has really worn in well! Digging the sleeve wrinkles, really has the Raiders look in my eye. Thought about hitting that zipper with something to knock down the shine or is that just a trick of the flash on the camera? Regardless, GREAT looking jacket! :whip:

It is shiny, actually, but I think my editing made it look much more shiny than it actually is. The Indy zipper is quite shiny in the films, too.

Literally the hundredth time someone's told me that here.

Better than someone like Erkle or Pee Wee Herman!

This is in Shrunken Lamb.

More the Jurassic world than Parks and Rec Pratt...there’s a WHOLE LOT of people you’d rather not be compared to :D

Nice to see the shrunken lamb wrinkling up with wear...really looks right.

Any upcoming pics of this jacket in the sun? I'd love to see it outdoors with some detail shots.

That REALLY is a great looking jacket! When during the year do you find yourself wearing this? Is it a Spring/Fall item or Winter?

I wear it year-round. Spring and summer it is my nighttime jacket with a henley. During the fall it is great with a long-sleeve shirt. During winter (right now, except for yesterday), I wear a sweater beneath it. One problem is that its a form-fitting jacket and therefore the shoulders are a bit tight with a larger sweater.
