Well the point is that Wested did make the original jacket but they don't have the original patterns. Wested is thought to have thrown away the original Raider patterns, but still to have the Last Crusade patterns, which makes them the best place to get a LC jacket. Many of the current things included into the Raiders jacket offered by Wested is wrong when compared to the original used in the movies (like no gussets and the side strap config is wrong) and the purpose of Flightsuits is to offer the best Raiders model jacket on the market to all Indyfans. (The Flightsuits version being based on an actual jacket used in Raiders) Now Wested has done some changes to their patterns to correct this but there hasn't been any word from anyone who has ordered this new version of it yet.

Hope this helps,
West
P.S. If I got any fact wrong, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure this is the story.
