If they used the same pockets throughout the run, that first photo could be of a 3x for all we know, making the pockets look smaller. We DO know the one above is a medium, and the same pocket would look larger. Theorizing here.

The jacket pictured on page one of this thread is a medium.
You can see the tag inside the collar.
It does not look anything like the mediums that are being delivered. The pockets on the delivered
size mediums are HUGE compared to the original picture.
That's what I am looking for. The smaller pockets that were shown on page one.
As an aside, I have an original Cooper/Wings jacket from back in 2001. I ordered my first
Wings Indy jacket, and when it arrived, the sleeves were too long, so when I asked Wings
if they could shorten them, they directed me to the maker of the jacket, who was Neil Cooper.
I had to send the jacket to Cooper to get it altered.
When comparing the measurements of my Cooper size large, to the measurements of
the size large jackets being delivered now, they are exactly the same as mine, and my
three year old goatskin Wings Indy jacket. Not one difference.
And my Cooper jacket is by no means a fitted jacket. It has the same larger/looser fit as any
other Wings Indy jacket they sell now, when compared to measurements posted on this
site.
Perhaps the better fit is due to the leather being softer, and thus it drapes on your
body nicer?
