Hey pal, I was just going by what Indygear says- namely that Wested was the company that provided the jackets for the films and has the certificate of authenticity to prove it. I would have to say that in terms of authenticity, they would be the highest rated in that category therefore, but perhaps it's all that propaganda and mythology I've been hearing that's warped my thinking.

: What does sticking with Wested have to do with being a stickler for details and authenticity? There is absolutely nothing authentic about a Wested. It's a myth. The jackets they are selling have no more claim to authenticity then any of the others out on the market. They aren't based on any original patterns. People seem to like them though and they are very reasonably priced.
