Is the 80s Fit Only SA on a Raiders?

Hi all,

Is the 80's Fit ONLY Screen Accurate on a Wested 'Raiders', or will a ToD and LC still be SA with an 80's Fit?

And also, do the latter two look good with an 80's Fit? What do y'all recommend?

TOD is definitely an 80's fit if you want screen accuracey. this jacket was even more fitting than the raiders jacket....or perhaps harry was just bulked up more than in raiders.

for LC, i've heard arguements from both side of the camp. typically your build will base the decision on whether or not to go with an 80's fit as this is less forgiving to our more generously proportioned folks. ie if you want SA and your build is CE (close enuff), then go with the 80's fit.

Nicely worded, Indy G.

Polite, but to the point.....

It's also possible that some people wear a jacket "over 40" because their chest is wide. A jacket that size doesn't necessarily instantly denote someone is fat.

wasn't ford wearing a 44 in LC? or maybe _ was referring to the jacket's waste measurement?
