Hey guys, new to the forum but have always been huge Indy fan. I am a taller slim guy with small waist but broad shoulders, any clue where I can find a "fitted" Indy jacket thats not too baggy? I have check out wested and US wings but cannot tell a lot by looking at pics. Any help would be greatly appreciated  |

When in doubt, have one custom-made. Try saving up for a custom from either Todd's Costumes or Magnoli Clothiers. Send either of them an email and ask. Todd's might be more accurate for Raiders, because his standard jacket is accurate. Of course, Magnoli does all four Indy styles. Find the one you want the most, and go with it. Steven |

I can't remember at the moment what jackets would fit like that, but custom might be the best choice. I'd suggest Todds, Wested, and Magnoli for custom. Todd's jackets are excellent Raiders jackets. Probably the most SA I've seen so far. I'll see if I can find anymore info on what jacket could fit you well.

The US Wings Legend style is said to be fitted pretty well, supposed to be a very good "Raiders" jacket.
Available in antique cowhide, and soon in bison and striated lamb.

Ron is right, the US Wings Legend jacket is said to be rather fitted. From pictures it even seems to taper, where it's wider by the chest and slimmer at the waist.

Good for you! I really like the look of the Legend Striated Lamb jacket. If you can post up some pictures of the jacket! |

You didn't specify the jacket you got.  Was it a Legend or a Sig Series? Steven |

Signature series, forgot to specify. I didnt want to wait on the "legend" series, though i am interested.

Received the US wings lambskin signature series in today and must say, it was not what I expected. The collar was HUGE and the cuffs seemed "rolled" up and not quite finished. Already called us wings and am sending back.
On a different note I ordered Gibson and Barnes 40T in lambskin, never heard back from Gemma at Wested so I'm trying the expedition jacket out. If anyone has one I would love to hear what you think of them.

Our Administrator, Ken, has a Lambskin G&B, and he LOVES IT. I'm sure he'll chime in at some point.

I had an Expedition, my thoughts were that it isn't "fitted" at all, but kind of roomy, however mine was not a Tall, perhaps that would have made a difference.
I think you would have been happy with one of the US Wings Legend jackets, they are made to a completely different pattern from the Signature Series, said to be the same as the Cooper pattern from 30 years ago.
