I ordered back in the spring of '99, right before all that "Lucasfilm Sueing Wested" business. I thought I'd never get my jacket, but apparently the rumor was just a joke. Anyway, here're my answers.

01. Not sure exactly, but it was pretty closer to a month give or take a few days.

02. I ordered a "new finish lambskin 'Raiders' w/ satin lining"
but I got a "new finish lambskin 'Raiders' w/ COTTON lining".

03. It fit(s) perfect. I gave Wested my measurements, yet I think they sent me an "off-the-rack" jacket because it has a "40R" tag inside.

04. I suppose I could've sent it back for the correct lining.

05. But I didn't send it back.

06. Didn't want to face another month-long wait.

07. Well I'm not a genetic freak like some fans are, so a "custom-fitted" jacket isn't a big deal. But I'd hoped the Wested would've LOOKED more like Indy's jacket. I'm not saying it had to be 100% accurate, just that it looked the same.

08. E-mail.

09. Couple days to a week, not positive.

10. Not extremely happy. The leather was nearly black, it SQUEAKED(still does), NEVER aged, and the design was plenty off.
