: I just got my first jacket 2 weeks ago: a pre-revision new finish lamb Wested.

: 1.I've noticed that the sidestrap on the right side keeps loosening, and I keep on tightening it. Is this because I am severely right handed, always reaching for things with my right hand? Or is this a lambskin thing? Is this normal for all Indy jackets?

: 2.I plan on getting a newer wested this summer (so that it is made to my own measurements), and I was wondering if cowskin might be a little bit better in this issue.

: 3.Is this problem a rarity, only on my jacket? Do FS and US Wings jackets do this? What about other Westeds?

: Thanks!

: When straps feed through "D" rings they will loosen up a bit when pulled on. The FS jacket uses rectangular loops like the original Raiders jacket Patterson saw and measured. The rectangular loops lock the strap down quite nicely. Hope this helps.
