: Now that I've managed to get you to open this post...

: I have received photographs (Polaroid’s) and diagrams from Noel Howard of the Raiders II (Temple of Doom) jacket he has in his shop. They are very interesting – I’m trying to get them scanned.

: Guess what – every detail but two says this is a Cooper. The ONLY differences are the zipper (on the left – European) and the rings on the side straps (square buckles vs. d-rings). This has to be a Cooper knock-off. I have an email and voicemail into David Hack to confirm the timing of Cooper’s acquisition of the license from Lucas films.

: Every detail right down to the size and shape of the pockets, the configuration of the side straps other than the buckle), and even the very short bi-swing pleat.

: Thoughts, or are you all tired of my jacket-related ranting? If so, I apologize. You may go ahead and buy the Disney jacket – I’m sure you’ll love it.
