: I have been in touch with Pete from Wested recently and am about to order a jacket. But first I would appreciate some input from you folks, if you can spare a moment.

: I have a Cooper jacket which is based on the LC version. However, I prefer the idea of the Raiders version (smaller collar). But then the stormflap studs are quite handy.

: So first question: would it be daft to have a jacket made that isn't exactly a replica from any one movie? In other words, as fellow collectors, would these devalue it? Sentimentally of course!

: Secondly, I asked Pete the difference between the lambskin leather and barrier distressed cowhide leather (which is what the Cooper jacket is made from). Lambskin is softer, more supple. But I can't help thinking the origianal Raiders jacket looks like it's cowhide. The last Crusade version is lambskin. So LAST QUESTION! is would anyone think it worth having a jacket made with the "wrong" type of leather? Again, collector value?

: If anyone has any ideas, suggestions (none rude, please!) then I would be very grateful.

: Thanks to all and regards,

: Brian

All of the film jackets were made from lambskin.
