Called Mary Terry, and she said that she made the jacket in the photo from pictures for a big Indy fan. Later the fan got a Wested and she compared hers to it, finding that the one difference was her jackets hip pleats did not go as high as the Wested jacket. Pretty impressive. The jacket was made to Raiders dimensions (collar, length) I forgot to ask if the storm flap had snaps. This is a custom jacket so I'm sure they can be added. She can put in a cotton or satin liner.

She said she makes the jacket in antique lambskin or antique cowhide, with distressed brass hardware. It sells for $325 with a three week turnaround time.

Nice jacket, and a nice Lady, but the Wested still sounds like a better deal.

In case anyone was curious,

John D
