Wested legacy raiders

[Barry Gibb]

Hey, very much new here and trying to figure the right size for my 1st Indy jacket and I think I've landed on legacy Raiders. Im 172cm (5'7) and with an average build around 65 - 70kg. The Legacy Raiders size chart says this

Chest. Sleeve. Shoulder. Back. Pit2Pit.
36". 25". 6.25". 22.5". 20".

I measured myself to be Chest 36" sleeve 23.5"
Shoulder 5.7" Back 24 - 24.5".
I used a jacket to measure sleeve, shoulder and back. I'm very surprised with the back length on the legacy jacket, it really makes me second guess my measurements should I proceed with these or make adjustments? Does anything look off in terms if the sizing to someone with experience with these jackets?

You can also compare the sizes to their off the rack jackets. It's what I did when ordering custom ones.

Not sure if the legacy has a much different fit and cut though...

Your own measurements don't sound wrong for the jacket based on your height.

You gotta check the back size of your current jacket on which u based the measurements... The back can be tricky, on the legacy it is supposed to hang lower from the neck(they designed it that way)... so an 24" back size cut sit to low over the back pockets of your trousers/pants.... They suggest a 22" so if you have a longer back I would suggest 23" or so.. the 24 will probably sit to low when u put it on.

perhaps other members, with opinions...?

check this on their site... this explains the difference with pictures on a mannequin.. It is the comparison between the standard raiders and the "Hero jacket"... And the Hero jacket has the same features as the legacy, in the sizing...

Very good points, I'm also wondering if the Legacy is cut differently to a "standard hero" or if it's cut the same. I've also sent wested an email about the sizing, no reply at this moment. Tbh they'll probably just tell me to look at the size chart and that be the end of it. Any 5'7 (172cm) raiders owners here? Feedback from similar sizes would be greatly appreciated

It's the same cut. Legacy has the more correct hardware though.

And to be clear, the standard Raiders jacket (non hero) is a different fit/cut.
