Wested shoulder measurement???

Getting real close to putting the order for the Temple of Doom jacket that I should have done a month ago. How do I do the shoulder measurement? For a 40 R on the chart it says 6.65"
That obviously isn't from one shoulder to another - at least not mine

And for the back length - it appears their chart is for the Raiders jacket. Do I therefore for the Temple jacket just measure where I want it to end?
Thanks all.

Well, the shoulder measurement is just the length of the shoulder seam,..on your shoulder. The back length fo a TOD, is just an added inch to the back length of all the Raiders sizes. You can, however, ask for any backlength, and shoulder seam measurement you like, within reason.

On the back part; I recommend giving the measure where you want to it to end. It turned out I needed 2 inches extra apart from the ToD 1 inch extra on mine.

Good luck!

Boy, you guys answer quick! Shoulder seam, should have thought of that and I'll go with my back length measurement. Thanks, Fred

So this measurement is from the collar to "where you want it to end"? Quick question, where SHOULD the jacket end? What's the "official" length? Top of the back pockets?

On my part, I just opted for what I felt the most comfortable with. It might be slightly longer than screen accurate, but I wouldn't want it shorter. Also, I think I have a rather long back. I guess you could just try and fold a longer jacket that you already have in order to see and feel what looks good and feels right.

You have to remember that people wear their pants differntly. I think the Raiders was to be 1.5 inches off the hip.

When you say 1.5 inches "off the hip" do you mean 1.5 inches fom the top of pant's waistband?

I know just what you mean about people wearing their pants differently... Hip-hoppers usually wear their pants somewhere around mid-thigh. It's like some big rapper died, and their flying their pants at half-mast...

So 1.5 inches from the top of the pants would be... about 2 inches above the knee.

Now THAT would be a screen accurate jacket!

I mean what I said. One point five inches off the hip and not the top of the pants. But it is really up to you what you want the length to be.
