: Any chance that those of us who haven't been following this discussion very closely will see a laundry list of differences between this jacket and the Raiders Wested? If there's a post like this, please forgive me, but I'd like to know the message number.

I can rattle one off the top of my head, though at this point I'm sure Dr. Brody and Michaelson will catch any omissions:

The Wested's collar stand is too high.
The Wested's storm flap is too wide.
The Wested does not have underarm gussets.
The Wested has d-rings vs. rectangular rings on the original.
The Wested's side straps are attached too close to the hand warmers.
The Wested's side straps are attached too low in relation to the cargo pockets.
The Wested's side straps and rings are just attached incorrectly.
The bi-swing pleat on the Wested is too shallow.
The side vent on the Wested is too short.
The Wested has a nasty habit of not having the shoulder yoke across the back being adjusted for different sizes, resulting in the seams not lined up correctly, resulting in the bi-swing pleat operating improperly.
Leather collar facings...

Oh, no - I'm running out of gray matter – what have I missed, guys?

Cheers!
