: What exactly makes Peter's ToD jacket a bad copy besides the size of the pockets?

Off the top of my head...

-Side strap placement and length. Very short straps, with rectangular pronged buckles - not slides or rings.

-Storm flap is too damned wide on the Wested

-Side vent is too long. It's only about 3 inches long on the ToD.

-Collar is wrong shape, though I don't know that I've ever seen a Wested with the same shape of collar.

-You said other than the cargo pockets, right?

-Bi-swing pleat should be lower across the back, and the seams should line up pretty close - within 1/2-3/8 inch.

I'm probably forgetting something...

Cheers!
