: I am wanting to get a complete Indy costume in the next 6 months and have contacted Noel Howard but he has not replied to my email yet hopefully he will soon. As far as the jacket goes I can only afford one. I am trying to decide if I want the Wested Raiders Jacket or the lambskin U.S. Wings Jacket. Wested is the one that made them for the films however U.S. Wings appears to have the disstressing down perfect. Which do you guys feel is more accurate and what are the delivery times on both of them I have heard Wested is slow what about U.S. Wings? I am wanting the most authintic jacket possible but can not affor the flightsuits jacket. Please give me your opinions. As far as the had I know I want to go with the Peter Bros. I just have to get my head measured :) Also do you guys know what size pants, shirt and jacket that Harrison Ford actually wore in the films. Thanks for your help.

I posted a review of both the "New and Improved" Wested Raiders jacket (which incorporates MANY of the details of the "more accurate" FS jacket, making it a DEAD TIE for first place in my book)
AND a review of the new "Old Look" cowhide Indy jacket....which is as close as you are going to get to a Temple of Doom jacket (so close, in fact, that according to our "resident jacket expert, Patterson", the only thing it needs is for the zipper to be on the left and for the "D" rings to be changed to buckles.
Read the reviews and that might help a little. If you have specific questions, I'll be happy to try and answer them. The two jackets you mention are just VERY different jackets...it depends on so many factors as to which jacket would better suit you.
Good luck! It is a hard decision if you are only buying one;-)
Later!
