Hey there-
So this is my first post, although I've been following indygear for a couple years now. My first bit of gear was the Indy bag from Noel Howard, and I love it to death -- I use it almost every day.
I've been wanting a Wested for a long while now, and I think it's time to take the plunge. I've just got a couple questions for all of you, being the veritable fonts of Indyknowledge that you are. I'm getting a Raiders model, and I want it to be as close to the authentic screen original as possible. So what's most authentic:
Lambskin: "Dark Brown" or "Authentic Brown"? (I thought the original was dark brown, but the word 'authentic' is throwing me.)
Lining: Cotton Silesia?
Zip: Nickel or Antique Brass?
Side fasteners: I'm assuming the antique brass D-rings?
Also, seeing as it's busy season, do you think there's any chance it could be made and delivered to Michigan by the beginning of January, if I ordered it within the next week or so?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You know, I'm surprised that after all these years, there still isn't an options chart saying what options to specify to get a screen accurate jacket for each film. It should be like:
ROTLA Jacket: Authentic Brown Lambskin, Cotton Silesia, Nickel Zipper, Brass D-Rings.
Etc.
You end up having to read all these different pages and gleaning bits out of paragraphs. Come on you guys, get on the ball! I'd do it myself, but to be honest, I don't know which options were used for which film.
