Wested Legacy question

Does anyone know why wested only offers the Legacy pattern and one particular lambskin? I know they said they matched it to an original sample but as we all know the ribbed skins for also used therefore that's why you get the texture and the jackets and some scenes. I know they offered different skins and hides and the other Indiana Jones jackets so my question is if there's at least two different appearance of lambskin hides used in the original Raiders why don't they offer both versions of that had in the Legacy jacket? Considering that is screen accurate and they have access to both types of hides just don't understand why that's not an option.

I own the Legacy Raiders jacket and while it's a well-made jacket with a lot of screen accurate specifications, their leather choice is questionable. It's far too dark and too heavy in my opinion to be an accurate Raiders jacket. Ironically, I kind of like how thick the lamb is and think of this as a more suitable jacket for actual outdoor activities. It seems almost goat-like in it's thickness and texture. Personally, I'd love this pattern and specs in a thinner "cape" leather. THAT would be the ultimate Raiders Wested for me!

Yep. The heavy skins don’t drape right and don’t billow in the wind. Totally ruins the look.
