: : For those who have the ToD style Wested (or who have keen observational skills)--

: : Is there truly more differences than just the length in your Tod Wested style versus the Raiders? According to Sapito, the pocket size and shape as well as the placement and length of the side straps are ALL different from the Wested Raiders being made and those seen in Raiders.

: : He noted that with EVERY scene of ToD where he could make out the straps or pockets, they are the same; smaller
: : and more square pockets, side straps shorter and attached well away from the handwarmer slits, side strap buckle tab
: : attached to outside of jacket rather then sewn into the seam. He also believed that the same jacket configuration was used throughout the movie.

: : Can anyone confirm with their ToD Wested?

: : Thanks everyone for their input!

: : Andrea

: Hello, My Wested is a TOD style and it has the changes that were mentioned. I belive the story goes that Wested lost the orginal patterns and had to re-create them so that the TOD jacket is different than the Raiders style. Later they found the patterns.

: GAry

...because according to Peter Botwright, it was the Last Crusade jacket that gave them fits, as they couldn't find the patterns. That's why it's so radically different from the first two movies. Regards. Michaelson
