Pre-Authentic Vintage Jacket Stuff

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.
