Glad you like the photos. It's a cool jacket! It says 44 on the inside collar. It basically fits me, but it's too tight in the underarms (if you raise your arms, the whole jacket bunches up to accommodate the movement).
Which is a drag because I sent Wested my measurements to make the jacket. Oh well. Always intended to have them redo it or get another one... don't think I'll ever follow through though now.
I don't remember how I found Wested in 1992. The internet was up and running back then. It was probably through fan connections/websites, etc.
I have a Wested Indy jacket which I just love and wear a lot (weather permitting). They didn't have the size I wanted and I went a size larger. It fits great! So, maybe that's the thing to do. Though I should add, even though it fits me very well, the proportions don't seem to match the seemingly much tighter fit Harrison Ford wears in the Indy movies.
But that's a subject for a different thread.
I should put this Ripley jacket up for sale. Watch the Junkyard section in the weeks ahead!
Best,
Alan
