: Does a Wested made of the cowhide hold its pleats any better than a lambskin? Also, what is the surface texture of a Wested cowhide jacket (not the predistressed); smooth, pebbled, somewhere in between?
: THX, MI Smith
That's a tough one. My Wested cowhide does hold the pleat better, BUT it also had deeper pleats then the lambskin one I received. Something we've all got to keep in mind when debating the specs of a Wested is that each one seems to be unique - nice way of saying inconsistant? Oh, well...
I've not seen the new finish cowhide, though Peter did promise me a sample some time ago. I do believe Abner at IndyGear purchased one around December of last year - give him a shout.
Hope this helps - Cheers!
