: Hi Patterson,

: I've sent a couple of e-mails now but you may not have received them. I was wandering if you could let us know what the status is regarding the additional measurements from the Original Raiders jacket that you were sent? Have you passed this info onto Flight Suits yet?

: I Sent my 42 T back to Flight Suits because of the already documented problems with fit and sleeve length. I am now getting a 40 inch jacket that should hopefully match the original much more closely.

: I'd like to know if Flight Suits are going to use all your measurements for their 40 inch version, or are they going to change it to suit the average man's shape?

: Also, more importantly - did you receive the photos of the original jacket? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would love to see some good photos of the original jacket that Flight Suits are basing their reproduction on!!!

: Let us know. Thanks.

: Chris.

I'm awaiting photos - will send a reminder if nothing shows up in the next few days. Don't want to be a pest.

FS has asked me not to publish measurements, and I agree with their reasoning. This is their livlihood, not mine. Peter may argue that it is his jacket, but the specs FS is using are clearly not the same as the current Wested. Again, Peter had first shot and dropped the ball. For all intents and purposes, these are now the property of FS, and I have no right to publish them.

Cheers!
