I'm tossing around the idea of getting a new Wested, and retiring my Wested Raiders... So I'm thinking of the Temple this time...
Does anyone have any pictures of your very own Temple Wested? I'd like to know what people think of this version.

Hey Jonesy. I have a very nice Wested TOD. Only difference between it, and my Wested Raiders, is the extra inch added to the length.
Pretty sure thats the only difference that Wested incorporates between the two of them.

Yeah, its just the extra length otherwise its exactly the same jacket.

I thought the TOD had smaller pockets on the front. Does it not?

In the film, the answer is yes, but as far as Wested is concerned, all 3 jackets have the same pocket cofig....at least they do now.

I think some of the jackets in the film had smaller pockets, and some didn't. Evident from jacket pics at Noel Howard, one of those jackets had rather small pockets. Just watching the movie the other day made me realize that in many of the shots the pockets look standard. My guess is that the small pocketted (?)
jackets were from the French company, perhaps?
It would be fun to know which jackets were leftovers from Raiders, which ones were newly made (if at all?) by Wested and which ones were from the French company in which scene.

I got my TOD jacket last year and I just love it.
Pics of me posing in it can be found here along with funny captions

Just as a suggestion, I think I recall at the Indygear main site (under the jacket section), that a fellow gearhead of ours posted some pretty good details of the Temple of Doom jacket's specs....
Just in case you want the details, so that Wested could custom make you one, there is some info on the Indygear main jacket site I think concerning the Temple of Doom jacket....
Kind Regards,

I do remeber seeing a pic of one of the French jackets and it did have the small pockets...
I did get a Wested goat TOD (now that COW is back up I will post some pics), and it's a very nice jacket, as you would expect from Wested. Yet, to me it looks just like a raider's, since the measurements for it came of a Raider jacket.
Cheers
