In Reply to: For those with both, which does the average Indyfan prefer. Wested Cowhide, or Lambskin? (nm) posted by Mola Ram on August 13, 2001 at 17:00:44:
When I ordered a Raiders cowhide in April, Peter sent me a thick, rugged cowhide jacket - I liked the thickness very much but the size was wrong. I sent it back and ordered a new Raiders cowhide in June and when it arrived it felt very light in weight, very thin and had the grain of lambskin. I thought Peter sent me a lambkskin by mistake, so I sent it back to him. When I told him I wanted a Raiders Cowhide - he told me what he sent me WAS a cowhide jacket. I told him it was a lot thinner and lighter than my previous jacket. He said he has two thicknesses for his cowihides. Maybe he should have told me this before I ordered? I've never heard of this option??
I know most people have been happy with Wested in recent months but the inconsistantcy in leathers (and service) lately has upset me. I was still waiting for my jacket that Jerry told me was shipped 3 weeks ago. When I finally called to find out where it was - Peter told me it wasn't even shipped yet.
A little frustrated,
