That is one sweet jacket. The fit looks awesome!
Is it the 80's cut or are all Raiders made like that now?

How do you order one of these babies? I emailed Tony two days ago with some questions regarding this but hasn't got any response (I guess he might be flooded in emails right now). It makes me feel safer to write an order than calling. The time zone difference for me in this case also makes is easier...

How about adding armpit to bottom of the jacket? It's a measurement I find pretty interesting since it will tell if FS, G&B and Todd's are more like Wested 80's or regular fit.

Best regards

Santa brought me a Todd's custom

Hey! Yesterday I received the christmas present I've bought to myself, a Todd's custom jacket in cow hide. It is a beautiful jacket and the fit is perfect just like my Wested in horse hide. But I can move much better in the Todd jacket since it has much smaller arm holes. I can see how you can use a...

Nice looking jacket! It wrinkles the same way my jacket does so it should be a HH and I would call it an LC jacket.

A tailor once told me, and I have agreed with him ever since, that double breasted suits are not for overweight people (like me) since it wraps around the belly and can make it look larger.
Just look on TV... David Letterman always uses a double breasted and Jay Leno uses a single. 8)

I've never thought it was a short jacket. To me the sleeves looks to be about 1-2 inches longer than the body of the jacket (when you wear it) and he has very long ones on it. In the beginning of Raiders when they find the Hovitos arrow and the next sceene when they are walking in the jungle only Fo...

Thanks :D It's a bit longer in the body than my old Wested - which I always thought was too short for a SA look. Yeah I've seen several jackets that looks to short. For me a SA look is that the jacket ends somewhere near the back pockets of your pants (and I'm pretty sure Harrison wears his pant wi...
