Arty pic of my Raiders Jacket just chucked on the sofa with my notebook on top of it.

Major West said:Why not? Looking at the pictures it seems to be a top notch replica of the Raiders jacket. Available in two of the screen used styles from the film.

If you don't already own a LC jacket I think this skin would be a good option. As above though, I really like the jacket. It's thicker, a little heavier, but the more it's worn the more it breaks in. Already had some 'that's a cool jacket' looks from people.

Like a few of the gentlemen on this forum I already have several Westeds, in fact my new Hero in shrunken lamb arrived this week, replacing the Ill-fitting one I posted pics of in this thread, and it's a thing of beauty. Wested, in my opinion, consistently deliver the highest quality product and very best customer service I've encountered.
However I believe a healthy curiosity about other manufacturers is not a bad thing, from the allegedly ultra-screen-accurate Bill Kelso to the apparently shoddy Todds.
