The more pictures I see the more it seems that Wested jackets look nothing like the real thing...
...while at the same time, the more photos of TN jackets I see the more close to the real thing they look.
Some members of various forums came around and ordered longer (than standard) back from TN and the result is indeed pretty nice. I was shouting all along that TN's jackets were too short but nobody listened. They also banned me for making too much noise about this... Now they came around, go figure...
The bad thing is that Todd got influenced by the shortness of TN's jackets and made his jackets shorter. Too bad, didn't have the chance to get one of the long ones.

Platon,
Haven't been here for a while! My bad! The next run will be longer. While the one Tony had was shorter in the back, it just doesn't look as good on most people. I'm going back to my original design next time around.

Hey, Todd! It's nice to see you still drop in every once in a while! This is awesome! Now, when I get my Todd's Jacket, it'll be the right length!  Steven |

Sleeves could be also a bit longer  |

The length, especially in the back, could be a little longer. Oh and don't forget about the yoke seam in the back being a little higher than the shoulder seam. Either way I'm happy with mine. |

Longer sleeves?? They're already long! That's the first time I've heard that request.
Yeah, I know about the seams. Trust me. The factory screwed up the last order. Now I'm stuck with them. Fortunately, there are enough people in this world who still like them even with the altered sleeve seam!

I'll buy them no matter what little details are screwed, as long as the big details are accurate. And maybe if you include Riveted Whipholders as an option for your Weapon Belts, I'd buy the Gunbelt from you, too. Steven |

Longer sleeves?? They're already long! That's the first time I've heard that request. Yes Todd, for example when I'm buying jacket I need 26.5-27" sleeve and sleevs in your jackets are way too short for me, I'd go with M A size for chest but 3 inches shorter sleeves would look funny |

We could do a riveted whip holder. I'll put it on the list (yeah, there's really a list).
tomek, I'm not sure what 26.5" - 27" means exactly on you, since the seam drops off the shoulder. What is your shirt sleeve measurement? For a medium 32" - 33" is average.

My both custom Wested jackets have 27" sleeve (shoulder seam to cuff) and the shoulder seam is exactly where it is supposed to be, no drop off

He's working on it. It took him years to come out with the PFC Bapty, how long do you think it'll take with the pants, if he's working on them at all? Let's not rush him.

Not necessary at this point. It should wait till Todd gives the update or says their here. By the way Todd, I know they'll be awesome, just like the rest of your gear! |

Fortunately, there are enough people in this world who still like them even with the altered sleeve seam! Just thought I'd throw in my two cents... I agree on adding to the sleeve length. I'd add an inch. The thing with sleeves, you can always shorten them at a good tailor, but you can't really lengthen them by much and not without messy fold creases. |

Yes, + sleeves are getting shorter while wearing the jacket.
For example Wested 40L sleeve is 25.25" and Todd M B 34.5 (24.5 shoulder to cuff).

I think it depends on the leather.
I have a washed goat jacket where the sleeves seem to be getting longer.
Some leathers seem more resilient to the concertina effect and some seem to stretch.

Thanks for the input. I'll take another look at that.
