Raiders pocket specs

Post by Kaplan »

Is there someone that has a Todd's XL jacket? I need some pocket measurements. Out of all the jackets I own, I don't think there is one that I think the pockets are correct on. I like the look of Todd's pockets.

Pockets on my Todd's XL jacket measure 6.25" x 6.25" excluding the pocket flap. If you include the pocket flaps they measure 6.25" Wide and 7 1/8" long/tall.

Scot2525, Thanks for your reply. I'm a little confused about your measurements as that would mean that the pocket flap would be .875" tall/long. That can't be right. :-k

:lol: when I read that last night it was late and I thought he meant 6.25" measuring FROM the flap. I would still like to know the specs of the flap itself if possible. thanks.

Pocket flaps at there point are 2 7/8" and at the sides they measure 2" on my XL.

A Todd's XL is about a 44-46, no? That's my range. For a Raiders, I like to be in the 8"H x 6 1/2"L size myself. Total measurement including flaps. Take a look at the third pic of Ford on the main page for the Raiders jacket (b&w, hands in pockets).

I concur with Holt my Xl fits like a 42 Long. I have pictures posted in the Todd's jacket owner thread. Early last year Weston and I were attempting to swap jackets. Weston has a Large but it didn't fit me correctly and we nixed the trade.

The old style XXL-A (with the hand warmer pockets not going into the liner) fit like a 44. The new style XL fits like a 44, give or take.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one, Holt. I'd like to see a new run of Todd's jackets myself. I'm looking forward to seeing what features may be incorporated into the jacket, if and when there is another run of them. With this new run of XL's, the back length is around 25", just a bit too short for me. The older run XXL-A back length was around 26". I may have bought and sold 3 of the XXL-A's. S'pose I should have held on to one. These jackets are made in Pakistan and one jacket I received had little notes with Arabic inscriptions in the pockets, which was kind of interesting to receive, added to the intrigue of it. Hopefully it didn't say, 'yankee, you are number 1!' with the prominent finger if you hear what I'm saying. Or, 'I'm about to open up a can of jihad on you, buddy!..???' :-k These kinds of notes you would not want to get, necessarily. :lol:

yeah, we all funny that way. we give them up and then we start to miss them. I know I will never give mine up. I love it and I keep wearing it. I have now worn it for about 2 weeks again now. leather is thin but to my surprise it has help up the best of all the lamb jackets I have. mine is soon 3.5 years old and it keeps on taking it. look at weston who rolled down that rocky cliff with his todds. it's still here.
