Love the disclaimer at the beginning!😆 Debra Nadoolamen (I know I butchered that!) used a pocket knife and steel wool to distress the original Raiders jackets, similar to you using the hobby knife. The jacket looks amazing!

This is probably the best Indy weathering video I have seen. The results look amazing. It must have taken quite a bit of time to do that. I think the constant starting and stopping is key to custom work in general. You go too far (the tunnel vision you mentioned) and you can't undo it. I dont know about using the craft knife though! I think that is a step too far for me even though I have many different Indy jackets.

@riserindy

Thank you so much for the kind words! Using the craft knife was definitely scary but it’s the best way I could find to get the finger details that the scrub brush was too broad for. I think you could get similar results using a duller blade but you’d have to put extra elbow grease into it.

Magnificent work. Well done!

I’m going to go over my whole collection eventually. I’m also going to do a few more specific reviews on some jackets and hats.

Hey there. Question: I have the regular lamb raiders jacket and I tried using sandpaper to put some scuffs on it. To my surprise, underneath is a gray color. Very shocking. Another person suggested brown or tan shoe polish on the marks but that could potentially dry the leather and ruin it. I'm very confused as to what to do and would take any suggestion from you that would help not ruin the jacket. Thanks so much

Hi Daniel, thanks for this amazing video, it's so helpfull! I'm considering buying this jacket from wested but I'm worried about the measure and size. I'm 1.77 cm high and athletic (but not too much, my chest is between 38 and 39 inches and my waist is 34). I had the opportunity to try a 42 Raiders standard jacket but I felt it quite loose especially the waist part of the jacket when it was zipped up, and had the under arms "flying squirrel effect"...😅 I would like mine to be closer to the armpits. What would you recommand ? Buying this jacket but in what size ? Or go for a destiny model? But are the sizes the same ? (depending how the jacket is cut) thank you for your answer and sorry for my english, I'm writing from France🙏🏻

Hi! Thanks for watching and for the kind words! If you still have that size 42 Raiders jacket I would measure its pit-to-pit and then determine what you would want it to be then order accordingly. I want to caution you about sleeve and length measurement on this jacket… I would order a little longer than you think. I had to take mine to a tailor to get the sleeves extended because they were too short. This jacket is a weird cut. Should you do the destiny instead? That’s a personal preference. I think it’s easier to get the right fit for a Destiny than the LC legacy jacket because of the cut, but if you like the look of an LC jacket you should get an LC jacket.

@maskfpv113 I can’t tell you the difference between a legacy and a hero because I don’t own a hero but I do know each jacket is different and wested doesn’t offer a lot of help when it comes to knowing the differences. The best you can do is measure whatever you have and try to compare its sizing chart on the website to the sizing chart or the jacket you want to buy. Or you can spend more money and get something from Steele & Jones where they work hard to make sure your jacket is the perfect fit. I have two review videos on my KZread for Steele & Jones jackets. Best of luck to you.

Yesterday I tried to scrape a bit of my Wested Raiders jacket with the kitchen scrubber, I did it on a tiny spot where the side straps are. but coulnd see the light brown color. I didn't apply much pressure just in case. Should I try a bit more? it was more of a grey color probably was just the superficial layer a bit scuffed from doing it too carefully haha

Every jacket will have different undertones. My advice is to always test in an inconspicuous place like the inside of a pocket flap. Every jacket’s undertones will be different, from grey to red and everything in between. You have to decide if you like those undertones before you sand the whole jacket.

I think the physical scuffs and scrapes come from the actual stunts itself while the main topical oil paint is there to make it look more uniform

Does this hurt the jackets longevity and make it easier to deteriorate especially on the seams where the stitching gets scratched? Or is it mostly just cosmetic and doesn’t negatively affect the jackets structure

Thank you. Great comment! Yes, every hide is going to have different color undertones. You can try using acetone to get those more stubborn areas but sometimes the way the hide is tanned or dyed will change how it reacts to distressing techniques. Having seen screen used Destiny jackets in person, I’m convinced they died the undertones synthetically as well.

Forget that. Just wear your jacket.

Or you could not do all that and enjoy your new jacket.
