: I haven't been able to see any differences in the jackets from scene to scene either. They all look the same, and I've been reluctant to say what I think about this. Oh, well here goes.

: First the story was that the ToD jacket was the same as the Raiders jacket except for being slightly longer. Then the story became that they had jackets left over from Raiders, and a few additional jackets were purchased from a French company for ToD. The stories are really inconsistent.

: I think what probably happened was that a jacket or two from the first movie were given to this French company to create knock-off's for ToD. The jacket in ToD is a great looking jacket, BUT the details are all wrong for it to be a Wested, ala the Raiders and LC jackets. I'd be happy to revisit those details if anybody wants to hear it.

: I guess in summary, deep in the back of my mind, I don't believe Peter made any jackets that ever made it into the second movie. He's a great guy, but the changing stories, along with the revelation of loosing the original patterns for a time, make me question Peter's involvement in the second movie.

: Oh, yea - they're not Coopers, though the details are closer to what's on screen. The Coopers are "full cut". The real giveaway, though, is the zipper; the Coopers have the American zipper, i.e. it’s on the right. The jackets on the screen have a European zipper, that is they are on the left, under the storm flap.

: Cheers!

: Patterson

I've thought about this for awhile. This is what I've been inclined to believe as well. Isn't ironic that my favorite of my Wested's is the Temple version? Oh well. A great jacket anyway.
See ya! DeWayne
