Good job Patterson,

So, who's going to ask Peter why his jacket has got so many inaccuracies? Are you going to let Peter have your measurements and notes and get him to tailor a new jacket?

I went to M.B.A costumes on Friday and met Noel Howard. I also tried on the jacket in his possession. It definitely looks like a Temple of Doom jacket. It was the same colour as the predistressed Wested, but the cargo pockets were very small in comparison to the Raiders Wested. Also, the side strap buckles were very similar to what your observations were. I also noticed that the back seam lined up perfectly with the sleeve seam and the collar was smaller.

Noel was an incredibly helpful and friendly man. His original Raiders shirt and trousers were just like the reproductions that he offers. He also had a pair of very worn and dusty Alden's.

Keep us posted.

Chris King.
