80's fit on TOD?

Post by Mike Bolton »

I've seen a lot of mention of the tighter, 80's fit on the Raiders Wested, but is this an option on the TOD jacket as well?

I really love the Wested I've got, but I'm thinking a 38 would've fit better than a 40, and that a little extra length in the jacket would be nice.

Great jacket though, feels really durable with the cotton lining.

It's available on all the jackets. There is no real difference in the Wested TOD, as compared to the Raiders, except for the 1" added to the length of the body.

Yeah, but aren't the French pockets supposed to be smaller? :-k

I've been thinking of going w/ a Temple o' Doom jacket for awhile now myself. Even though I don't really care for the movie as a whole (I mean, there are some pretty cool parts), I've always been mystified about that jacket simply because I don't see too many pics of a highly detailed "Temple o' Doom jacket." And, because it looks good being distressed everywhere on the jacket as opposed to the Last Crusade jacket being highly distressed mainly along the seams...

You may want to check out Yurik's detailed specs on the Indygear main site. Yurik made detailed specs, just as Agent-5 did for the Raiders version jacket. If I decide to go for the Temple o' Doom jacket in the future, I'll probably shoot for those specs. Best wishes in your purchase!
Kindest Regards,

One of the things that I did with my later G&B Expeditions was to get them made with long torsos & regular sleeves (I’m a regular, not a long). Sadly you can no longer get that done (I don’t think) as they no longer do custom work. That’s one of the good things about Wested. Peter would probably make you a jacket down to your knees if you asked him. Cheers

That might be kinda cool, a Raiders trench coat.
