Chris,
Regarding your rear-facing shoulder seams, I don't think THAT was an isolated error on FS' part, because mine is the same way.
Now, I know I'm nowhere near as detail-minded as some jacket lovers on here are, but this design flaw has really bugged me. I could really care less how close the stitches are on the collar, or how "scalloped" the pocket flaps are, but I do care when something on my jacket is blatantly different than what I see on screen and in photos. Like I've said before, my FS jacket is WAY more Indyesque in appearance than my 2-year-old Wested, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a fellow fan. But every time I see the movies I see the shoulder seams facing FORWARD. And on 99.99% of other jackets I've seen the seam faces forward as well.
Yeah if I were to order a "custom" FS I'd definitely tell them to fix that flaw.
