ToD & LC Back Yoke

Is it just me, or does ToD and LC (and KotCS to some extent) have a much longer yoke compared to what is currently being offered?

It seems to me that Raiders has a short yoke, and the other films seemed to go in the opposite direction. For the current offerings of jackets, I believe that regardless of whichever 'style' you order, vendors for the most part choose to ignore that the other films had longer yokes, and instead use the 'Raiders' yoke as the standard.

Spot on Castor. It's been touched on before, I think. I agree that the yoke is generally ignored. My Wested LC looks okay but the pockets are all wrong, as is the yoke. The other details - facings, stitching - I don't care about.

Cheers
