: I was thumbin' through my old 'Raiders Read-Along Record' book and I found somethin' that contradicts Wested's claim of producing an "exact" replica of Indy's jacket. It's in a picture(hopefully posted above) of the fight scene in Marion's bar. It show in pretty clear detail the back of Indy's jacket. I've seen this picture dozens of times before but this one was larger and clearer than other books'. It shows that the left-hand side-strap is sewn on the OUTSIDE of the back flap, rather than on the underside of it. I always assumed it was on the underside in the movies, so maybe this's an extra, maybe "French" coat like used in 'Temple'. But nonetheless, the Wested's on the underside, and my Cooper is on the outside....which's the real deal? I'm not so sure anymore.

: You Can see both strap attachments in Raiders. I think it depended which stitcher at Wested assembled which jacket. Dr.Brody PS: Check with Patterson
