: Yes, and how much??? A ballpark figure will do. I know, I've probably missed that discussion somewhere along the line. Sorry, but now that it's a reality (almost) I think the interest will soar here.

: : The jacket prototype is fantastic! Thank you for your attention to detail. Where I once looked at the Wested and thought "Wow the Raiders jacket" the "THIS IS IT" I felt looking at the pictures posted was chilling.
: : Does the lambskin feel thicker, more durable than the Wested's? My complaint with the Wested Raiders is that it feels like a dinner jacket. A thorn-bush could tear through it. Unless this new company's skin is a little tougher/thicker, my next jacket will be their horsehide. Then again I love that deep, chocolate brown. Will these people have a site for this jacket, or will they deal with catelog sales? Thanks again

The lambskin is indeed thicker and more substantial then the Wested skin. The price range on the lamb will likely fall in the $300-$339 range.

Cheers!

• Leather facings? Sturdy zipper? Inner pocket? Lining? Consumer in queue 17:26:36 8/30/2000 (3)
  • Leather facing on the inside of the collar. Correct zipper length takes care of the need to have facings down the inside of the zippers. The inner pocket is a plain leather bound slit, but is authentic, and the lining is a nylon/polyester blend that has a comfortable feel, but wears like nails (nm) Patterson 17:37:43 8/30/2000 (2)
    • With the added thickness(lining & skin),could this be a "winter" version? Gregg 18:23:59 8/30/2000 (1)
