I'm actually 6' 2" and about 140lbs. I measured myself so many times before getting this jacket, thinking the Medium would be too short on me. I was mostly worried about the sleeves, didn't want them to be too short. The Large I've got, there is plenty of room to move around in it and if I rai...

Several earlier in the thread! Including some comparisons of my 2013 M compared to my 2009 L.

How tall are you, James? Just curious as to your measurements versus the jacket's measurements. I've seen RayR talk about being 5'8", 170 and wearing a L, yet I'm 5'10", 180 and wear a Medium (I went with the M because my jacket size is usually a 40R). I toyed with trying a large, but my M...

A few more shots from when I wore my new Todd's in a short film playing a family of monster hunters.

Nos402

Got my new Todd's 2013 M to replace my Todd's 2009 L. My first impression was that it felt a bit short but when I compared it to my 2009, it seems almost the same length. If it is shorter it is very miniscule. When I put it on with some more Indy-like pants today it seemed fine (as opposed to the je...

Great jacket Gorak, but I agree with you that the striations are way too much for my taste. I was considering getting a new Todd's (I have one of the older ones that's still awesome) but the leather looks way too patterned for me. The back definitely looks like dinosaur hide!

Nos402

So I bought a Todd's standard in 2009. After reading all these posts it's got me wondering if it's worth an upgrade to his newest batch! Opinions? It's not my main jacket (I have a bunch of great coats I rotate around) but do those of you with experience think the difference is enough to warrant sel...

Ooh! Nice pics. I'd been looking for screen caps but hadn't found any good ones yet.

Thanks all. I guess I've just gotten used to really fitted jackets. I have some vintage WWII jackets that fit more "fitted" and I quite like that fit I've discovered. Where the armpits are much closer to your actual arm pits without as much bagginess there. Like if I take my Indy jacket an...

So it's been awhile since I've been here! A while back I got a Coyle's standard jacket and thought I was done with my quest! However, recently I've been finding that I don't think I like the fit under the arms (not fault of Coyle's, I'm sure that's part of the downside of buying "off the rack&q...

Thanks! I knew it had to be a sticky somewhere! Apparently I'd just missed it!

I have a Todd's Standard (and also a Magnoli U-boat jacket) and was wondering which Pecard's product would be best. My roommate has a tub of the "weatherproof dressing" in the black tub with the red label that he got for his leather bag strap and I used it on both jackets. Seems to have be...

If I may ask, how much do you weigh, and what's your jacket size as in 38, 40 and the like? I'm asking for myself, I'm trying to figure out what size I'd need to get. And this could be a nice comparison guide. Randy I am 5'10", weigh about 170. I think I'm a 40R jacket size (that's usually wha...

If not the new size from the chart appears to be larger, and longer in the sleeves.

Nope, just a M not an M+

Nos402

Unless money's an issue, keep 'em both. If you're wearing tighter clothes throw on A. If your going a little looser 'cause of too much dinner look go with B. I love A because I like the tighter, fitted "indy" look unless you're a big boy and I think you wear A well. But, if you have to se...

I originally ordered a Todd's standard Large, but then thought a medium might actually be a better fit. Now I can't decide which I like better so I thought I'd get opinions here! Here are a set of totally crappy pics to judge by! Jacket A: a brand new, fresh out of the box Todd's Standard Medium htt...

I'm loving my Todd's Standard more and more but the left side strap tend to slowly pull looser as I wear it. The right one doesn't seem to do it. If I go ahead and just feed the straps back through so they end up pointing toward the front, then that locks them down tight, but I'm wondering if anyone...

I first came to Indygear many years ago when I first hear of "Wested, The company that made the original Indy jackets". Over the years I've constantly debated whether to get an Indy jacket and if so, which one. I kept talking myself out of it because I knew it wasn't a jacket I would proba...

Nos402

I've seen a few passing references around the internet about a "long story" of how Todd somehow ended up with the original Raiders pattern. I've searched these forums and Googled but can't seem to find any more info on that. I didn't see it in the jacket history summary either. Anyone have...

After more research I'm now torn between the Todd's Standard and the Wested Special Offer Soft Goat (I've edited my original post to reflect this). On the one hand, many here seem to have first hand experience with the Todd's Standard being much more durable than it seems. On the other hand, for sli...

Heh, don't get me started on my LONG saga in my Doctor Who jacket quest. I've owned 2 Westeds, 2 Magnolis and am currently working with Magnoli on what i hope turns out to be my ultimate Doctor Who jacket.

Nos402

Subject says it all! I was really planning on getting a Todd's Standard (my roommate has one so I've worn it in person) but I'm wondering what you guys think of the Wested Special Offer ROLA Soft Goat by comparison since at the current exchange rate, it's only a little bit more than the Todd's. I'm ...

I just got my original MkVII from WPG. A friend of mine got one a few weeks ago and the webbing holding one of his strap loops has almost completely worn through. Now we have no way of knowing if this was because the bag was old or because he washed it multiple times and "distressed" it us...

Nos402

Got my Magnoli. Overall, GREAT bag. Highly recommended. A few quirks however led me to go ahead and order an actual MkVII from WPG. The biggest thing to me was that the front pocket only goes down to the first seam while actual MkVII go all the way down to the bottom seam. A very minor thing that pr...

My roommate got a Todd's standard and is trying to figure out the best way to hang it. He put it over the back of a chair one night which left some dimples which are slowly disappearing but we figure any hanger would probably do the same and leave bumps on the shoulders.

Nos402

I'm a 40R which is the upper end of M and the lower end of L. Anyone here with experience with a Todd's Standard that could recommend which way I should go?

Nos402

Is there some great master FAQ somewhere with all the jacket options available here? (Wested, Todd, Magnoli, USWings, etc.). I could have sworn I'd read one before but I can't seem to find my back to it now.

I would just like to see all the prices and options available.

I'm wondering if there's anyone in Austin with an Indy jacket who might be willing to let us borrow it for a small comedy short we're making in conjunction with the release of the new Indy movie. It's just some silly dialogue for one day, no stunts, nothing that would endanger the jacket and as a pr...

So about 13 months ago I sent my "Das Boot" style jacket back to Wested to be exchanged for a "Doctor Who" style jacket. I also included a letter and a picture illustrating a few alterations I wanted made to make it as screen accurate as possible to my eyes (slight change in the ...

Nos402

I'm in the same boat. I returned a jacket with some very specific instructions and illustrations of what I wanted. Sine then, I have emailed twice just to make sure it was received and I've had no response to either.

Nos402

Another update: Today I found what is thus far my holy grail of Doctor Who jacket photos: this photo. When you compare it to this photo of the Wested Doctor Who, you can see that Wested's is really close. Just move the upper vertical pocket down so that it's only 1" above the lower pocket, move...

I called Peter today and he was incredibly helpful. I'm sure he's a busy man but he took all the time I needed to ask questions and get details straight about my jacket. Apparently the early batches of black jackets were made to the "Das Boot" specific pattern while the predistressed were ...

Nos402

Does anyone know: a) exactly what kind of leather the Wested Doctor Who jacket is made from? I'm guessing cowhide since someone on another website was complaining about how heavy it is (which I don't mind at all). Is it "top grain" cowhide? b) What the original jacket would most likely hav...

Nos402

Here's the email I got back when I asked if I could get the black but using the other pattern:

Dear Sir,
We have not changed the pattern both of the jackets are the same just with different leather type

Nos402

I MUCH prefer the pattern of the brown one and have just emailed Wested to see if I might exchange my black one for a black one made from the pattern of the brown one!

Nos402

My jacket size is a 40r and I was told that a medium would fit 40-42. My medium is definitely a snug fit on me, but not in a bad way, I don't think. On the snug side of fitting just right. I just wish my black was cut from the same pattern as the pre-distressed since I like some of the details bette...

There's a huge thread with lots of pics of the Bad Wolf jacket and some Wested's over here.

I already had to have my wife do some repairs on my jacket. Some stitching had come undone where the arm lining joins the body lining.

Nos402

KT's looks to be made exactly the same as mine with all the same differences I mentioned from the screen and pre-distressed Wested coats. Note how close the top button is to the horizontal seam as compared to the top button placement on the screen jacket or Billy3ci's pre-distressed Wested. Still a ...

Nos402

What really baffles me is that the billy3ci's predistressed jacket from Wested (seen in this post) seems to be a little more accurate. I find it strange that both our jackets are from Wested but yet mine seems less accurate. You would think they would use the same pattern.

Nos402

As far as I know Peter did not make any jackets for the actual show. I seem to remember reading that the Doctor's jacket was an actual original Kriegsmarine Jacket that was bought at a thrift store, but I can't remember where I read that.

Some of you wanted pics of the jacket actually being worn so here's a few. Not the greatest quality, but hopefully you'll get the idea. http://www.heathallyn.com/images/jacket/jacket013.jpg http://www.heathallyn.com/images/jacket/jacket014.jpg I removed the top two buttons since the clear buttons th...

I think I'm going to try and get over the "inaccuracies" because it's a really great coat that fits perfectly too (aside from me needing to lose some flab around my ass-ular region). I'd love to get a Bad Wold JAcket as they really seem to be concerned about accuracy, but there's just no w...

Nos402

Perhaps you can just return it or exchange it for a rack size? Actually mine IS and off the rack medium. I also wondered if the differences might be due to the difference between predistressed and new leather. I wrote this: I received my Dr. Who jacket, but was wondering what your return/exchange p...

This is my first post here, and it's going to be a doozy!
