Regardless of what US Wings says, I suspect that have modified the cut to be closer to the new jacket.
The jacket is the same cut, pattern, and everything else as their standard
Adventurer jacket. The only difference is the leather. Other than that,
they are the same form, fit and pattern as all the rest of their offerings.
Look at the Wings site, and see for yourself:
Note: This jacket is based on US Wings' standard Adventurer jacket pattern; it has not been licensed or authorized by Lucasfilm Ltd. US Wings is not affiliated with LucasFilm Ltd.
And:
This authentic Indy-style jacket is similar to our standard Vintage Cowhide Indy-style Adventurer jacket, but what sets it apart is the leather:
As Holt pointed out, these jackets are mostly based on the TOD style, and have
been for many years, and as such, the fit should be similar to that movie, NOT
the new CS one, despite what other people may post, or pictures they
show in their replies.
All the jackets in all 4 movies are similar in style, but each movie jacket
has its own seperate little details that make it different from the others.
Thats what makes it a great jacket. Its instantly recognizable no matter
what movie it comes from.
All the Wings jackets are the same TOD style whether they are made
from goatskin, lambskin, cowhide or the limited edition leather.
So, to compare the fit of your jacket to the new movie is souly up to the
individual to do so. But you are NOT getting a SA CS movie jacket. You
are only getting SA leather.
In the end, its YOU the buyer who has to make up your mind as to how
YOU like the jackets fit, and whether or not YOU think its too big, to small,
or just right for YOU.
If you like how the jacket fits you, then you will wear it, and enjoy it.
And thats all that really matters in the end.
I will say that you do need to have the sleeves shortened by at least 1.5 inches, perhaps
more. Again, you have to make that choice. Me, I would hate having my
sleeves that long, as it makes people look like little kids putting on their
dads coat, and wearing it around the house.
As to the actual fit, if you live in a place thats mostly warm, and you do
not wear many layers under the jacket, I think the size small you have
on order will fit you better.
If you live where its mostly cooler, and you do like to wear layers under
your jackets, then the medium is fine, and the layers will take up alot of
the bulk the jacket has now. It will also be better for you as you get older,
and fatter, as most people do as they age, as you will be able to wear it
for more years than if you get a jacket that is "just right", right now.
Or, if your inclined, keep both, and enjoy both as much as you can,
no matter what type of weather it is!! Thats always an option...
