Umm what exactly are you going to do with Harrison Ford's measurements? If you want a screen accurate jacket get a Raiders jacket with an 80s fit, smaller pockets and collar, smaller inside pocket, no leather facing, sliders and shallower back pleats. There might be some other small details that I forgot, but that's basically it.

Maybe he's building a mannequin display and wants the exact measurements of HF for that reason.

He said specs, not measurements. Maybe he is just looking for the items to order to have as screen accurate a jacket as possible for him to wear.

..also if you want the same colour used on the original Raiders jacket go for authentic brown.

i am looking for the SPECS, i never said measurments...thanks bufflehead...anyway, im looking for as screen accurate as possible, smaller pockets and collar doesnt help much. I want some specifics here. I know the color and the style of leather, but i need to know like the lining, the collar size, and things like that.

The specs you want are all dependant on your body type. How tall are you, what is your body type? Skinny, tall, fat, short, a few lbs. in the gut, etc...? All of this is completely relevant to you getting what you want.
We can give you specs, but they may not work for you. It all depends what your body type is.

Buy a G&B, except for the color it's screen accurate, and has all the little details.

the jacket on screen was a wested...well not technically but u know what i mean, therefore, for a screen accurate jacket it will need to be made by peter, not a g&b

Also Flightsuits cost more and aren't custom.

True, but they already incorporate most of the details that are thought of as "screen accurate."

But if you incorporate these details to a Wested it's still cheaper than the FS

CR do we have enough examples of different jackets to do an informal "taste test" during the Finger Lakes Summit?
