Seeing the jackets side by side like that makes the Raiders look even more correct in colour terms. Of course after a few rain showers it will dull down and get a bit darker still. Have you put anything on it are are you planning to leave it as is? I just left mine as is, for the time being.
That Last Crusade jacket is really showing some good wear. Looks excellent. Still tempted to get a Novapelle Crusade jacket at some point, especially after reading the latest Wested Blog (and seeing your jacket there). I might wait to see what the Hero Crusade jacket is like before diving in though.

Jedi Jones said:But couldn't the designers have easily just gotten a brass/copper zipper rather than go through the trouble of painting in brass/copper the zippers of the multiple jackets used during the filming of ROTLA?
Is it possible that the jacket designer and the filmmakers thought that the contrast between a dark jacket and a silver zipper was aesthetically interesting on film, just as some of us on this forum believe?

That's interesting. I hadn't realised the shoulder overhangs so much on Wested's TOD. Quite slouchy, I like it. Do you think that's happening as the lambskin softens and begins to conform to your shape, or were they like that to begin with?Major West said:It's without inner facings. Just the jacket with no special requests. I recommend ordering your sleeve length at least half an inch less on this jacket, otherwise they will be too long, because as you can see the shoulder overhangs. 23.5 on this. 24 on the Raiders.

Glenville86 said:If you order a Wested ToD Jacket, do you just use your regular order size? I noticed on their site, the jackets are only listed up to 46. Their size chart for the ToD shows larger sizes. I see the recommendation to order the sleeves 1/2 inch shorter.
