Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested

Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
Before KotCS came out, I always thought my Wested's LC pocket flaps were a bit off, as they seemed a bit small in comparison to the pockets themselves, which ended up making the pockets look oversized. I didn't know what it was at the time, but having a Nowak side by side with a Wested really nails it IMO.

Wested pay you to say that? You know I get paid to say good things about TN.Dutch_jones wrote: Yes but it looks more lc than the hybrid on the right, the only thing lc about that is the awesome distressing.
Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
the LC collar on the nowak is still very CS to me becasue of the pointy tips.
if the TN collar had sligthly more rounded tips it would be SPOT on.
but who cares right.. it is so freakin awesome...

I don't know, the collar is quite a bit different from the CS collar, but the tips could be a little more rounded.Indiana Holt wrote:the LC collar on the nowak is still very CS to me becasue of the pointy tips.

Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
The collar is attached like the CS Collar, so the Collar Stand the same as on the CS Jacket.
This is still very close to SA and maybe the best way to go!
I still don't know if I should ask Tony to attach the collar only to the first quarter of the stormflap. Like on the Smithsonian...
I think the collar could be a bit bigger and more rounded at the tip.

Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
Isn't the collar on the Smithsonian centered over the storm flap? Anyway I think that's what I'd ask for, 1/4 or centered whichever is more correct.orb wrote:.......

Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
Smithsonian Jacket:
First Quarter of the Stormflap or even before?
Jacket from the Chicago Museum:
Looks like quite before the middle of the stormflap
http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/7426-2k.jpg Beware it's big
Jacket from Castle Scenes:
The Middle of the stormflap (Same as Raiders Jacket)

Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
OK so it looks like the Smithsonian is only into the first quarter, and the Castle scenes jacket has collar placed about half way over the storm flap
Is the Castle scene jacket the 'chicago' jacket?

Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
nope.
the jacket that is most used in LC is Fords personal jacket. the smithsonian is Hero 2 then comes the chicago jacket which is used in some scenes.. but I cant point my finger on were.. maby the opening scene on the boat?

Re: LC pattern comparison Nowak-Wested
Holt what pocket placement would you go for?
The misplaced Castle Jacket pockets? (Fords?)
http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/7426-2m.jpg
or like on the other two known jackets?
