The Wested's a nice shirt, but used to have somewhat tight sleeves. Don't know if the present-day Wested still has this problem (mine is a 1st gen). It's also a bit light (as perceived in the Cairo scenes in Raiders).
As for fit, the Magnoli is made-to measure. Can't go wrong there (as long as you provide your correct measurements
). Several colors to choose from. Not bad, screen-accuracy-wise either...

It's all about taste and preferance, imho. YOu can't go wrong with either really. Go visit COW for a more detailed breakdown on the differant shirts. Here are a couple but just peruse the board there and you'll find what you're looking for. Just do your reserch first before asking questions. Most of the FAQ's have already been covered you just have to look for them. Good luck!

Never owned a Magnoli, but the Wested shirt, doesn't feel like a shirt. Maybe I'm just used to my 100% soft cotton shirts, but Wested does not feel like cotton.
The Wested pants, however, are very nice.

I know exactly what you mean - that was the impression I got from the Todds shirt on ebay, just judging from that one picture alone. I might be completely wrong on that one though.

Don't limit your choices to just those 2.
There are lots of other options:
AB Adventurebilt from Marc very, very good.
Todds costumes, gets good reports but I've never had one.
Wested, is ok for the less athletic it is not 100 cotton more 65/35 cotton/manmade, results in a slightly lower maintenance shirt, colour is a bit light and some details are a bit simplified.
The creme de la creme was the Noel Howard, if you can find one - buy it. It was the closest out there. He had an original to match for many years.
I've seen and felt a Mag, it's a little bit too brushed cotton for my taste, would probably make a good CS style.
The NH looks really dark doesn't it? Rewatch the banto wind "It Hurts!" sequence, you'll see!

Great pic - who makes the middle shirt? I'm not too fond of the stitching on the collars of that one - it has that kind of 'bunched' look you tend to get on cheaper button down collar dress shirts.

The middle one is the AB, the bunching is one of the things Marc especially looked to replicate. .
