material for Raiders jacket

I know this has probably been asked before but which is more accurate to Raiders? Lambskin, or authentic brown lambskin? Any help would be much appreciated. :junior: -IJ

Ps. in the order form when it says "height" does it mean height of the person who's ordering it or height of the jacket?

I believe authentic brown lambskin is the closest to screen accurate, although you'll have to do a bit of distressing before it looks like Indy's. I believe it is the height of the person, although I'm sure Gerry and Pter will realize 5'10 would be full height and how long the wanted jacket is.

It's called Authentic Brown because the colour is based off a spare jacket Peter did for Raiders that he found in a closet while moving.

And yes, the height is for your height and not the height of the jacket.

thanks a million. Now if only someone would tell me how to read the sizing chart on Wested's website. :junior: -IJ

What are you having trouble with?

If this is your first measured jacket, get someone to measure you or if you really want, go to a tailor.

If you want to wear thick sweaters, tell Wested, so they can make a little more room. I wear a size 44 suit, but a size 48 is a perfect fit for me.

Well, for example, I have a sleeve length of 26.75 inches, according to the chart, I must also have a back length of 27 inches, but I don't. So basically the whole chart is just confusing to me. :junior: -IJ

Those are just standard measurements to give you an idea of what they are looking for. It is a custom made jacket. You give them your exact measurements and they give you a custom tailored jacket. There should be something on the chart that is close to your measuremants. If you find something on the chart that is very close to your measurements, but one of the measurements is way off, then you probably measured that one wrong.

yeah, now I see what it means. actually my back length was about 25", my shoulder length 6.5", and my sleeve length as I said before was right on at 26.75". Thanks for all the help guys!
