Hey, MARQ:MARQ wrote:Way Cool!! LaRue good lookin´jacket That´s more my alley!
I suggest you buy a medium and hang on to this one. Then decide which one you like best and send the other back before any alterations, etc. I believe they will work with you so long as the product hasn't been altered or damaged.tomek9210 wrote:I'd exchange it for a medium and leghten the sleeves. There is about 1 inch of extra leather folded in cuff isn't it?
Personally, I think it looks good on you!DeLoreanDMC81 wrote:Thanks for the comments everyone I do appreciate them. Before I send the jacket back for a medium I figured I'd take a few full costume shots to see what you guys thought. I just have to ask you guys, does the jacket still look really big on me, or should I still go ahead and return it and get the medium?
I've been helping to film a movie in the Salt Lake area for the last 3 weeks, I wore my costume to work one day, which everyone absolutely loved, and there were a few places around the building that were great for photo taking. So here are a few shots that I got.
Thanks!

That IS interesting. My sleeves come to about the base knuckle of my thumb, and I, too usually get a 40R. I guess you really do have to check your personal measurements. Also, the back length fits great...just past my belt (in jeans). Not too long.Nos402 wrote:How tall are you, James? Just curious as to your measurements versus the jacket's measurements. I've seen RayR talk about being 5'8", 170 and wearing a L, yet I'm 5'10", 180 and wear a Medium (I went with the M because my jacket size is usually a 40R). I toyed with trying a large, but my Medium sleeves come down to the first knuckle on my thumb which seems right. The extra 1.25" in the L sleeves seem like they'd just be way too long on me.
Several earlier in the thread! Including some comparisons of my 2013 M compared to my 2009 L.RayROnline wrote:Nos402 wrote: I'd love to see some shots of you in the Med =)
RayROnline wrote: Personally, I think it looks good on you!(See my previous suggestion, please.) I would guess the size thing people are talking about is the looseness around the middle. The "Raiders" style is she shortest and tightest of the film jackets. The one on you (I think) fits more like a CS. However, the sleeves fit right as it is. I think the shoulders work too. They are supposed to hang off the shoulder a little.
I have showered with mine, crumpled it up and weighted it down, coated it with Picards leather cream...it never shrank or stretched, and barely got any new wrinkles. What I will never do is scratch it up with anything to artificially distress it. Though, I'm not above dragging it through the dirt...maybe later.
Ultimately, James, it's what feels right to you, not what we think. You will never get a consensus from us fanboys, lol Be happy you're not a vender trying to solve the problem. I believe there is not a better jacket for the price...even not "for the price" for authentic look and cut. The weight and flow of this issue are exceptional. FYI I am 5' 8", 170 lbs and wear a L like it was made for me personally. I even bought a 2nd one that sits unused in my closet.
Oh, yeah...Nice action pics, too!
Thank you for your comments as well, helps put my mind at ease a little bit more knowing I got something that looks good, and fits somewhat decently!Mitch LaRue wrote:James, I have no idea if I'm might be in the minority here, but I think it looks just great onya!

I dunno... maybe it's 'cuz it's had a bit of time to "relax" or something, but I think it looks really natural slapped over your back.
Keep THAT one (the Size LARGE) is what I'd say... Seems like a winner to me!
I'm actually 6' 2" and about 140lbs. I measured myself so many times before getting this jacket, thinking the Medium would be too short on me. I was mostly worried about the sleeves, didn't want them to be too short. The Large I've got, there is plenty of room to move around in it and if I raise my arms the sleeves don't go halfway down my arms. lolNos402 wrote:How tall are you, James?

The jacket looks great on you, especially with the full gear. Now here's the rest of my two cents...
Like Ray said, it's matters most what YOU think. Also, it matters what "look" you are going for. If the jacket is mostly for your full gear outfit, then I think the Large is best. Here's why. You look to be of a slender build, like me. If I wear a tighter fitting jacket, it accentuates this thinner look which doesn't translate as well to the Raiders look.
Personally, I think the Temple Jacket, (at least one of them) was the tightest Indy jacket, both in sleeves and torso. If Ford had a slender build as opposed to his medium build, that jacket would have looked way different on him.
I see the Raiders jacket as having some room in the torso, which adds to the drapey effect as it hangs. Right now, your jacket is still new, and it's going to take time for it to soften and loosen up and drape.
You could go with a Medium and have the sleeves let out, and it would still "fit" but in a different way; less "Raiders-like" in my opinion!![]()
If you decide to keep it, I'd recommend lexol treatments and ball it up in a pillowcase and sleep with it!![]()
Nice pics, BTW!!!![]()

I think that explains a lot. At 6'2" I feel pretty confident that a Medium would have been way too short in length and in the sleeves for you. But at only 140lbs, you obviously must have a slender build so anything that fits lengthwise will probably be a bit roomy in the body. I would much rather the latter than the former so I think Large is the way to go for you!I'm actually 6' 2" and about 140lbs.

I would guess tracking does stop once it changes hands. My experience is in the other direction. I have ordered many things on eBay from Canada and it took quite a bit longer to get to me in the US than I thought. I even once got something from UK faster than from Canada, both ordered on the same day. At this point, you may have another week, sorry to say. But if it got to Canada by 4/4 it could be any time now. You will have to let us know.erikgunnlugson wrote:My jacket I ordered from Todd's was shipped on the 2nd and I still have not received it. Is over a week for delivery normal? I live in Sask Canada so does the tracking info stop once it is transfered to Canada? I just don't know what I am supposed to do. Just wait? Yes? No?
This is all the info i have: Tracking: LZ675109847US

"I measured the XL and the chest measurement from armpit to armpit is 25" exactly, and just for your general knowledge, the XXL is 28" and the L is 22".
My pockets lined up fine, but one was slightly sewn shut inside. A stitching error. You should probably mention this to Todd. At least he can be on the look out for that defect in the future.erikgunnlugson wrote:Received my Todd's a few days ago and I was wondering if anyone else's pockets dont line up exactly. One of mine is a 1/4 inch higher than the other. Doesn't really bother me too much as I have been wearing it non stop since I got and just noticed it now so I doubt anyone else would.
Other than that I think it is great

Nice gear-shots and the jacket looks good on you.I'm actually 6' 2" and about 140lbs. I measured myself so many times before getting this jacket, thinking the Medium would be too short on me.

The fit is very good. The Raiders jacket is baggy and not like the street fashions. If you want to shrink it a bit I would recommend soaking it in hot water.DeLoreanDMC81 wrote:Thanks for the comments everyone I do appreciate them.

Why don't you send an email to Todd, or Sean at Todd's Costumes?MARQ wrote:There´s chest-,arm- and back-length but no "shoulders across" but thanks anyway!
Come to think of it, I've always had better luck using the number on their web page and calling M - F during business hours. Much quicker.MARQ wrote:I´ve sent him a few messages in Facebook but I think he´s busy now because haven´t got any answers..
