No, that's not right. You can clearly see four Westeds, one Coopers and Lee Kepler's jacket.

Is it just me, or do the sleeves on what might be a leather jacket in his closet seem a little short? I'm using the other jackets in the closet to measure them against.

And something to note is for the jacket hanging on the peg, look at where the sleeves fall in relation to the rest of the jacket. The Indy jackets that people usually buy these days have the sleeves falling 2-3+ inches below the bottom of the jacket. But on the jacket on the peg, the bottom of the jacket is on par, if not longer than the sleeves... Which does give creedence to the belief that perhaps the Raiders jacket was much longer than most people would like to think!!! :D

Wow, funny what you find when you're not even looking! ;)

A DVD player with a zoom option should solve this handily I should think.

The jacket on the peg is the professor jacket. The tweed jacket or whatever.

Exactly.

Would have been very weird for this scene to have a leather jacket already hanging in the hallway, btw.

Why do you say? I'm assuming you feel that Indy didn't wear his jacket unless he was on expedition? And that since teaching was his main gig, he likely didn't keep the leather one in the hallway?

That also, but the scene is building up to the moment that Indy is taking his gear out of his closet.

Showing another adventure jacket hanging in the hallway just before that moment simply doesn't make sense.

Tony, if you use photoshop "brightness" feature on this photo you will see that this jacket has a lapel. The leather jacket has no lapel, only collar.

I always liked this set, and was disappointed it didn't appear in the other films. We'll get to see it again may 22, though :D
