Pre-Authentic Vintage Jacket Stuff

[Ark Hunter]

Ok, here's the new (old) Wested. Questions are, 1) does it look authentic brown and 2) is it too small in the sholders (or anywhere else)?
Some pictures.
I really like it because it doesn't have the leather inside the storm flap and it's almost a perfect fit. (so close...I don't know if I should keep it or not) It's virtually brand new even though it's nearly 6 years old, so it needs some "distressing" to get rid of the shine at least.

The Headpiece 3a & b are the same picture with the color balanced more correctly. 3a you get the chocolately authentic brown color and 3b you get what it looks like most of the time to my eyes. (more screen accurate Raiders color)

If you can't tell about the size in these pictures, I can take some "mug shots" to show the sholder fit better.

Should the shoulder seam be on top of the sholders or behind, because mine is behind/off the tops of my shoulders. I can kind of "shrug" them into place but they won't stay. The sleves could be a tad longer also.

It's the top sholder seams (the one that runs from the collar to the top of the sleave) that I'm talking about. You can't really see them in any of those pictures, but they run accross the back of my sholder instead on top of it. (I assume that's where they should be at least)

I'd have to look at some reference for lenght. I haven't studied that much. It comes down about the same lenght as my US Wings though. It just fits much snugger all the way around.

Sleeves are about the same too, but that's a bit too short unfortunatly.

Also, I was thinking the cotton lining on other jackets matched the zipper run on mine, but my lining is brown and not that burgandy color.

Hmm, maybe they aren't as bad as I thought then.

IndyDoc - I think the jacket fits you perfectly with the exception of the sleeve length. Nice looking jacket.
