The ToD jacket's storm flap always looked very narrow to me. As I've said before, my Wested ToD makes the best (of my Wested's), uhh...., Raiders jacket?
: : What exactly makes Peter's ToD jacket a bad copy besides the size of the pockets?
: Off the top of my head...
: -Side strap placement and length. Very short straps, with rectangular pronged buckles - not slides or rings.
: -Storm flap is too damned wide on the Wested
: -Side vent is too long. It's only about 3 inches long on the ToD.
: -Collar is wrong shape, though I don't know that I've ever seen a Wested with the same shape of collar.
: -You said other than the cargo pockets, right?
: -Bi-swing pleat should be lower across the back, and the seams should line up pretty close - within 1/2-3/8 inch.
: I'm probably forgetting something...
: Cheers!
