Hey Shane.

First thing, they got all the ToD details spot on so that's a plus.

Size wise, we've been trying to figure out recently! The perceived wisdom was something like: The jacket size should be a about 4" bigger than the 'quoted', eg a 38 would measure at 42 to allow for movement and breathing space. Now I think that is a bit of a red herring, I suspect there *is* breathing space built into jackets but not that much and I think it may go up as the jackets get bigger. That said, Michaelson stated that his 44 marked jackets all measure exactly 44 so that whole theory is still up for debate!

Back to your particular case, yours measures out as a 36? That would only be 1" above your requested size so it would be far less than we have been expecting in breathing space. It's not meant to be ultra tight. :) And within tolerances.

Second, the labels they have are only in even numbers and they have given you the closest to the size they made. (ie 34, 36, 38.)

Long sleeves will always be better than too short and that can be adjusted after a bit of wear.

Can you post some pics with the jacket on? zipped and unzipped please?

Lastly I think they have run out of unissued MKVii's but of course should not have charged you if they didn't have any! I believe they still have a few used ones.

At there end of the day if it really is too big, and you are swimming in it, then send it back for another, or the other option: donuts. :).

Well I got an email back from Gemma and she says it IS a 35 according to their cutting records and they put the 36 label because they don't have a 35 one... but luckily she said they can remake the jacket for me if I pay another 50% of the price. :-s

They'll refund my MkVII but I still feel like the jacket is too big, and I don't like the leather anyway. I guess the lamb is much lighter than the old lamb they were using, and so it's about as heavy as a Todd's jacket. Wasn't what I expected... Is the washed goat heavier?

I just hope somebody else on COW is a size 35 so I can sell this thing and get a new one. I'll try and do some pictures..

What, they remake the same jacket but charge you an extra 50%? What about a refund and starting over? And charging you for a bag they don't have? I just don't get these kinds of things that seem to be nearly constant.

Measure it against your Wested that fits and tell them the difference.

The washed goat is thin but very strong. Strong like bull.

I'm a 36 and I was thinking about getting another TOD to distress. PM me with the measurements of the jacket and maybe we can work something out.

Yeah, that's pretty much it... though I think it does actually measure out as a 35. I double checked it and I think I just can't measure myself at all.

..so apologies to Wested for being so upset about the sizing, but I'm still upset that I screwed it up!

Anyway, Atticus, if you're interested PM me. Otherwise I'll throw it into the Bazaar, and then if that doesn't work out, it's off to eBay.

Anybody have any comments about this? The last Wested lambskin jacket I've worn is from 2001, so the thickness of the hides Peter now uses might have changed. Anybody have one of each so that they can talk about comparisons?

Just to be clear, I do have a lambskin Wested jacket from 2006, and it has the leather facings and all that and it's much heavier. I have felt the Todd's jackets though, and that's how this new dark lamb one feels. I just want something a little heavier... though I may try the washed goat regardless of whether it's heavier because it just looks so great.

I completely agree about the weight of the jacket.. it's very very light.. I was quite surprised when I picked mine up for the first time. I have have sweatshirts that are heavier..

Shane, I think I see a couple things here.. a) you're wearing a ToD jacket with a Raiders Tshirt, and b) your left shoulder is frequently higher than your right, maybe you need a chiropractor.. also, the jacket is a perfect compliment to that couch 8)


lol, all joking aside, it does look big and long, although it's a bit hard to tell with an untucked Tshirt on, can't tell where your belt-line is. Did you measure the sleeves and back as a check with what you ordered or is the main problem the chest fit?

:lol: #-o

Yeah, I knew I'd catch something about that t-shirt, and you can chalk my shoulder up to my heavy backpacks and me always wearing it on one side. :?

I did try and curl up the tshirt so that it would be where my belt line is, but that didn't work very well... The jacket does sort of hang off my shoulders and chest though. If I zip it up I can grab the storm flap and pull the jacket out in front of me maybe a foot! I could put on 50 pounds of gut and this jacket would still fit! :o

I think it's not that far off, and a hot soak would really hit the spot (the ToD jacket looks like it's been soaked repeatedly), if it has enough body length to go for it.

I think I have the same thing, but in the interest of level shoulders and even jacket wear, I try and switch sides regularly.

tucking in the shirt might have worked better.. and if you've got room for a couple of pillows in hte jacket, then yeah, it's too big.. mine, just guessing cuz I don't have it right now, I might have room in the chest to make a fist, a little more in the stomach area...

My ToD is in 'authentic Brown Lambskin' and while it's thin (It is Lamb after all) it's not bad. Someone else commented that their ToD in authentic brown was thicker than their other Wested in Lamb.

My Raiders lambskin jacket from 03 is noticeably thinner than my lambskin from 04. Just 6 months difference. My 08 lambskin is thinner than the 04 but heavier than the 03.

woah..shane

that jacket is way to big for you.I mean the small temple o doom pockets look standard raiders pockets on your jacket....


that what I have been saying before.
I dont think wested upsizes or downsizes the pockets.it certanley doesnt look like that.all jackets I have seen seem to have the same size pockets.....

the pockets on the original will work on a 40,but on a 44 or bigger they will look to small.and a jacket size under 40,like a 36 the pockets will look to big....like on your jacket...


are you sending it back?

The pockets on this jacket measure 5.5x6, versus my Raiders jacket, on which the pockets measure 5.25x7. How large are the pockets supposed to be? Are they like this on a 40?

I can't send the jacket back because it actually *IS* the size I ordered, and so there's nothing actually "wrong" with it per se, besides the fact that I measured incorrectly and ordered the wrong size. I'm hoping to sell the jacket and order one size down and in washed goat.

Great! If that's true, then the pockets on my 50 will look like they came off a Hasbro Indy jacket. :twisted: :o

Shane,

FYI, the pockets on my size 40 ToD are 5 1/2" x 6 1/4". It doesn't appear that Wested changes the size of their pockets in proportion to the jacket size (at least in the sizes below 40). Maybe someone with a size 44 or up can weigh in on the measurements of their pockets.

Kind regards,

I don't think it's that bad a fit, the sleeves are a bit long but that could be remedied.

But I know what you mean about liking the look of the washed goat!

yes,this supports my theory!

same pockets for different sizes.


that shouldnt be the case,they need to upsize and downsize them.

like you cant have the 6.5x7 raiders pockets on a 50 jacket or a 35 jacket.they need to fit the jacket,or else it will look wrong...

So what size should the pockets be on say... a 34? Maybe I'll use some algebra or something and come up with a formula. Then we can put in the special request to have our pockets at the appropriate size...

...of course then the pocket flaps probably wouldn't be scalloped... why can't they scale this stuff on their own? I want the right sized pockets on my jacket! :x

I'm guessing a scaling factor like

Ok guys, how would you scale the pockets on a 34 compared with a 40?

Assuming the jackets are the same length? You cannot reduce the height.

You might shave a little off the width, but too much and the pockets start to look too tall, your pockets are 1/4 of an inch narrower than the other quoted pockets. Remember they are really tiny to start off with, take much more off and they are really not pockets at all?

So scale the pockets in pro down to the size of the jacket... a 34 is 85% the chest size of a 40, so scale the pockets at 85%... that won't work, they will be too short....

See the problems, it's not as simple as it looks.

Sweet spot is 40 and perhaps 38-42. Other sizes may need log books! :)

I agree with KT. Sizes over 42 might need slightly larger proportion pockets but say 36 (maybe even a 34) - 42 should be fine with the standard ToD pocket. These are really small to start with! I can get four fingers in the 'handwarmer' section of mine. That part of the pocket is almost a decoration.

I got my jacket today and...


IT FREAKIN ROCKS!!!


The light lambskin (which is lighter than any other lambskin I own) is perfect for CA weather, just perfect. I think the lining is superior and more comfortable to other linings. The zipper (which is rather big but still fine) and hardware is great! Definitely worth the money and wait. I am so jazzed. (Pics coming tomorrow, camera chargin). Really great jacket, perhaps the best, in my humble opinion, that Wested has to offer.

It is big, isn't it? I wonder why it was chosen when the jacket was originally being made... it's almost ridiculously large! :P "Do you want a jacket to go with that zipper?"

Story I read was the costume designer for the movie decided he wanted a silver coloured zipper, and had them all changed. I'm not sure why such a large one. I could guess so it would show up more on screen, it was all they could get, or he just really liked it.

It would have looked very large on your size 35, McFly! On a 40/42 and higher, it's big, but not silly looking.

I believe the 5 1/2 X 6 1/4" pockets are standard for all sizes. They measure the same on my 44.

Besides the handwarmers being SA on the NH jacket, Wested probably could have just made the pockets without them like US Wings does with their historical lines. As handwarmers they are useless.

Even my 10 year old niece tried sticking her hands in my jacket as she wore it and found it difficult to do.

ok, ok...pics!!

Liek I stated earlier, well worth the wait. The fit is so great. Unfortunately, the girlfriend isnt here right now so I can't take a pic of the fit but here are some others.

Image

Image

The texture of the lamb is so nice and will develop that "natural" grain look very quickly.

Image

Image

This jacket has a special sewn-in inscription in satin sheen which states “Harrison Ford- Indian Jones Film 2” which was written on the inside of the original jacket. I wish they could have "spiced" this up a little (a la Tony's inside jacket inscriptions) but still looks nifty!

Image

I guess this a correct collar vent but it doesnt make a difference to me.

more pics

Well, I think just one more jacket to get: Tony's Raiders and then I am done! :H:

Great looking jacket. The inscription label is a nice touch. Mine did not come with that.

That squared collar stand end looks like the corrected one. You probably have the corrected vent too.

Very true KT. One can only imagine.

LOL well spotted, I would never have noticed the flattened bar.

PS I think RS requested the custom label. (I really don't like that labelling system, I think it's really naff). I do like the intention though.

It is dark brown.

The label was a special request. I think it is a nice little touch.

Yeah, really nice jacket however, now that I think about it, the wait was a little long. I order the very first day it was avalible (the 29th of October, I think), nearly three months is, well, long. One problem was that Peter didn't have all the patterns down (he was still working on the 48-52 pattern when he put the jacket up for sale) so that ate up some time.

However, I am completely happy with the end result. The fit is great, the details are SA but my greatest compliment is the lambskin. So light and great to touch, just perfect for nice CA weather, I couldn't have asked for a better jacket.

I was thinking about ordering a cooper TOD jacket but now, I believe this is gonna be the definitive TOD jacket.

Thanks Peter and a very special thanks to Noel and his family for donating the jacket!
