Wested Copper Novapelle

Post by Bo Invader »

Hi people, I'm quite new to Club Obi Wan and I'm putting together a Crystal Skull Outfit. I've read that a Wested Last Crusade/Crystal Skull jacket in Copper Novapelle is the way to go. I looked on their website and noticed they only offer the jacket in dark brown Novapelle. Does anyone know if Wested still offers a Last Crusade/ Crystal Skull jacket in Copper Novapelle or if there will be a restock in the skin? If not would alternatives should I make? Thanks for your time!

It was my understanding that Pre-distressed hide was the best option for KOTCS, but I could be wrong.

I haven't known Wested to stock the copper regularly in years. And you should know it is a light brown and the undertone is *very* copper, as in basically orange. As IJJTM said, the regular pre-distressed is usually the way to go for CS -- brown novapelle works as well but not worth the extra expense.

Looks like pre-distressed might be the way to go! Thanks for the reply IJJTM.
