The Indygear FAQ is in dire need of updating, and that is my fault...

But, each jacket out there offers something different. Wested makes a fine jacket, and the current exchange rates make it even more attractive. Wested did in fact make jackets for Raiders of the Lost Ark. It also seems some of the jackets for RotLA were made by Wilsons House of Leather's LA factory - no, really. Some of the finer details of the actual history are actively debated, but I have had the very recent opportunity to see one of the revised Westeds. Very nice work. Flight Suits Expedition is still my personal choice, but there is room for all. Many of the finer points would only matter to a very few.

If your heart is set on a Wested, then ask Peter about the goatskin version he's apparently made recently. Otherwise, my choice of a Wested would certainly be the new finish cowhide over the lambskin. On predistressed - I'd avoid it. IMHO.

Cheers!
