My Wested fit well?
Heya Boys...My Wested Raiders lambskin jacket arrived today and....ye I'm happy!
But i'm only dubious in one thing: Does it fit well on me? I'm european, exactly italian and i wear a 48....so i did 10 size less as the Wested uses British sizes and i've taken a 38.
i'm 1.70 centimeters tall
My chest is 37,40 with no dress.
The back lenght seems ok, as well as the shoulders and lenght of the arm.
The one thing i was disappointed is: "does the arms are too much thin?"
Maibe it's a my impression because i'm the smaller size and the arms are thin as well.
I ask it because i dunno if i have to change it for a 40...bad mistake?
Well.. How does it fit?
Ah don't look at the trousers....it was about just to laugh a few...and also the puppies on the right

well....when i don't feel constricted when i move the arms....just when i close them to my chest i feel a few constricted ( off course, that's because i'm wearing a leather jacket)....i'm just disappointed on this....
Well....i'll put more pictures in the next hour so you can see if the sleeves are really thin or short.

I see Wested has delved into the smaller sizes. Just kidding. The jacket look good. I wouldn't try to change sizes right off. Also, for us to give our opinions, you really should be wearing pants that we can use to see where the jacket falls on you. It looks a hair long, but that can be because of the pants.i'm 1.70 centimeters tall

post edited...take a look to these
i'm listening many of you and i'm thinking to keep it. Anyway, i'll tell you why i was disappointend about the problem of the sleeves: I was looking at the DVD Kingdom of the Cristal Skull and i saw that the Sleeves in the movies were larger.....while the ones on Raiders are thin......take a look at that....

Are you talking about the durability of mine jacket or the one Blueoakleyz says?PSBIndy wrote:blueoakleyz wrote:looks great
does Todd's costume jacket look anywhere near as good?
It's one of the best jackets around as far as SA goes. However, durability is not good.....mine is only a few months old and already falling apart....cheap jacket.

The fit in the neck and shoulders is very good. The sleeves are perfect for Raiders. Like KT said, the only thing that I see that may be off just a tad, is the length of the body. It is not bad for KotCS, but it is a little long on you for Raiders. However, if you are not wearing full Indy gear, the length fits in with today's style better than a true Raiders length.
The only thing else that I could add, is that a picture from the front and rear with the jacket zipped up would allow us to see how it fits in the body a little better. You definitely DO NOT need to get a bigger size. Shorter maybe, but not bigger.

Smaller does not exists....and even if it does, a 36 would be small on the torso as i am 37,40.Bufflehead Jones wrote:The fit in the neck and shoulders is very good.

yeah, what they said!
My Wested Raiders that I am wearing today has the waist coming to my belt-line. The 'waiter jacket' or "80's cut" is the Raiders look.
I'd say that this one's length is more in keeping with a ToD. Not bad, per se - it's a saught-after look...but with that length it's definitely not a Raiders cut.

i was watching at ROTLA and: to have an idea of the lenght, take a look at the scene when Indy is inside the cave for the gold statue....to be accurate, when he's in the room and it's clearly in feet, you can see where the jacket falls....
Well...in that scene i see the jacket falls more than the belt line, so i think you are mistaken
Well, that kind of depends on what kind of pants he's wearing. If he's wearing pants that go up to the waistline, like Indy, it would be too short, but if he's wearing "modern" low-riding pants, it could very well be the right length.Oby1ITA wrote:Gater wrote:yeah, what they said!
