Club Obi Wan

Dre

How have peoples' saddleback bags held up over a few years? I've heard mixed reviews online...

Love th elook of them though

Dre

So again, no info on spielberg's jacket? He wears it in his interviews in the special features for indy 4.

Perhaps I should start a new topic for it?

Dre

No kidding, wish I would look that good at 66... orSeems like he and Spielberg know each other pretty well, outside of having worked together how many times...I bet they do lunch a lot. From everythign you read and hear, Ford is not particularly social or into "lunch". Read what director ...

So no specifics on this then?

Nice. I'm still considering selling my Todd's standard. I've only worn it to try it on and it just feels too small to feel comfortable in (it's size small). I threw it up on the for sale section for expressions of interest a while back, but might do so again when I have the time to take pictures. Th...

Dre

Sizing also varies greatly between manufacturers, models etc. Plus sizing was probably a bit different back then?

still a nice tidbit.

Dre

sukebe - the fit on that jacket is fantastic - the best fitting jacket out of any jackets at all i've seen on club obiwan. If only indy jackets fit like that.

Dre

What i'd ideally want are indy jackets that fit me like the TOD jackets. The slim, long fit looks best I feel. With the smallest pockets.

I dont think any vendor (maybe aside from Magnoli..not sure though) has gotten that jacket right. And no, it's not simply a raiders jacket over a beefed up indy.

Dre

Definetely go into wested and try on jackets. I wish I could have just tried on jackets there to get the fit I want. Even if you go to tailors and get measured, the fit can still be off. At least if you can try it on (and see the details/feel the different leathers etc) you can be sure to pick a win...

Dre

I'd be curious about his TOD jacket too. Durability? SA (SA more like the indy jacket at the very end and other parts...not the leftover raiders jackets used)? Interested about the fit (more slim in the body than the radiers?)

Dre

I agree. Thinking about getting a new wested or TN soon. My wested from 05 is lacking a bit - lack of scalloping pockets, the back panel is too high up and the pleat is way too wide (not sure if these 2 issues are fixed now?). Also I'm not happy with the overall fit.

Dre

Ok sorry Peter. I wasn't aware of the specifics of what went into the CS jacket pre-production and just assumed it was Nowak alone that had a claim on the CS jacket.

It certainly makes me more itnerested in the wested CS jacket =P

Dre

Cool.

I do have one gripe with the video though...it implies that you made the jacket that they used in crystal skull and doctor who when that isn't the case. Still, should give you a new flood of business.

Dre

I just checked the wested site and there's no mention of the temple of doom jacket...is that not offered anymore? I always preferred the slimmer fit and smaller pockets, but I dont think any company has yet to get it right. Also, have wested's patterns cahnged since 2005? Eg/ raiders pockets now adj...

Dre

If you want to wear it as a jacket i'd recommend at least a wested. Not sure exactly how much it is in USD now. Have prices of westeds gone up since a few years ago?

Todd's standard is pretty much just a costume jacket.

Dre

I have a small todd's standard and regret buying it for 2 reasons. 1. It's too small and way too short.

2. more importantly, it feels incredibly fragile. So no, if you want a 'real' leather jacket dont go for the todds. Go for a wested?

Dre

Am I to understand that wested are now making jackets out of the hide used in indy 4?

Dre

Very nice. I wanted my wested to be much like this as I always thought the TOD jacket looked the best. Alas, the magnoli jacket, while probably awesome, is a tad too pricey for me.

Dre

I quite like the look of the roots jacket. I agree that the back panel often doesnt look good - mainly because most of the time it's ill fitting and just doesn't work. I think this version of the jacket would probably suit people better..maybe. Either way, more choices can only be a good thing. Late...

Dre

Aside from the length I love the actual fit. Especially in the shoulders.

Dre

I think if it was any bigger it'd be WAY too big. As it looks now I think it's even very, very slightly too large in the chest...but I think it's TOTALLY fine as it is.

But ultimately, wear what you feel comfortable in.

Dre

Nice looking jacket - fits well. I wish i'd swapped my small for a medium. Also, is that an omega seamaster 2254? Excellent taste.

Dre

The small is very small. Medium is probably a good way to go even if you are on the small side. That being said, I do like my small, but sometimes feel a bit silly wearing it due to the shortness. I'm not fat, but the sleeves are a little thin for an indy jacket on the small. If you're of a slender ...

Dre

I got my jacket just before summer in Australia. It's too hot to wear any sort of jacket in this heat, ESPECIALLY leather. But come autumn I should be able to actually wear it a bit. I do regret not changing it for a larger size (I got the small). I love the fit overall except it's really quite shor...

Dre

Very much so, Nebraska. When I got mine I got so excitied like a kid - it really is a childhood dream come true to get an indy jacket. When I picked mine up fromn the post office I didnt wait to get it home and try it on. I opened it up at the bus stop and put it on. Got my ipod, put my headphones i...

Dre

Nebraska, the jacket looks great on you. One of the better fitting jackets i've seen on here - not too big, not too small, just right. I wouldnt worry about the minor details - it's the overall impression that's important.

Dre

Mine (with measurements I sent in) has the Great Britain and uk things on it too. Very odd that yours might be made in China, Michaelson...and the first i've heard about that. Interesting.

Dre

Wested or Aero vs. Wilsons....which products are meant to last and which was done using the cheapest materials? Sorry to be slightly OT (although not quite) but I had to ask as this statement confused me. Do you mean that Wilsons are better quality than Wested/Aero? (i'm not sure what Wilsons is i'...

Dre

I think the 'US Wings' tag makes it fairly obvious

Dre

I think Ghos7a55assin carries off the look very well - it looks very modern and fashionable while still retaining the 30s feel. Nice and timeless.

Dre

I think the results are what you would expect. By far most members have tried to get an SA Raiders. TOD and LC are rarely mentioned as must get jackets. Seems that way. It's a shame, as I genuinely beleive the TOD jacket looks the best and more heroic for some reason - but then the raiders jacket l...

Dre

Wasn't the tie just there because he was wearing it as a disguise and didn't have time/forgot to take it off? I never really noticed it was in the movie much until I read people complaining about it on here

I do see how it'd irk some people though.

Dre

I wonder if people's opinions of which jacket looks best is influenced by which movie they liked the most. For years I used to like TOD the most, and I always liked the look of indy in TOD the most so it stuck. (Now, I think my favourite would be raiders - although I still find TOD and LC more re-wa...

Dre

My favourite has always been the TOD jacket. The more-snug fit, the smaller pockets, the way it hung off harrison. I think it's mostly due to his physique in the movie though...but it's just the look I like most, and it somehow looks more rugged in TOD than the other movies.

Dre

You really don't need another one. This one looks good.

Dre

welcome aboard dan :D looks like we share an interest in sw stuff....cool. i got into indygear because you can actually wear your collection....if i would have stayed in the sw world, it would look pretty strange going to a meeting in stormtrooper armour :lol: There's always Han's jacket...but even...

Dre

As for this being a 'fashion indy forum', I think it is that for some people, and for others, it's about getting every single detail perfectly SA. I think both sides are great, and personally, I fall somewhere in the middle. I want my indy jacket to be fairly SA, but as I want to wear the indy jacke...

Dre

Todd's jacket definetely needs to tune the length. The small jacket I bought fits nicely every other way except in length (at least in my opinion). Although, some people think my jacket is way too small but eh. I think even a medium would be too small.

Dre

CM: Oh...sorry must have missed that post. That ***** =\

Dre

I've often thought of getting a local leather jacket place (in Melbourne, Australia) to make replica indy jackets, or even just a custom leather jacket for myself. I'm sure kangaroo leather jackets wouldn't be terribly hard to get made here.

Dre

Well it's still obviously an indy jacket - and even with the smaller size it looks a #### sight more 'indy-like' than my wested. But if i'm going to wear it I want it to look good as well, and to me, the current size I have looks good (in person). That being said, I might still exchange it. Also, ev...

CM wrote:Get another jacket man! you'll never be quite happy with it unless the size works. Sorry... couldn't resist.

In person it works as a normal jacket

Dre

On the topic, still deciding whether to get the jacket replaced or not. On one hand, it looks nice (at least in person) as a jacket, but on the other hand, it'd be more SA if it was a size larger. So it depends if I want a nice looking, snug leather jacket, or a larger, more indy looking jacket.

Dre

Would this work on goat too? I always felt my goat wested was a bit too baggy in the chest.

Dre

After the 2nd day i'm still mostly happy with the jacket, though I haven't actually been able to wear it out as it's warming up now in Australia (now wasn't the best time to actually buy a jacket). I'm still very undecided about the size - i'll leave it for a few days more to make up my mind. While ...

Dre

Also, take note of how open indy's jacket is on him - both the chest and the collar - it might give the jacket a bigger appearance. In my 'hero pose' the jacket isn't open as much - the collar is especially more closed. Having a look at the raven bar sequence, indy's jacket is a little bit less snug...

Dre

Tahnks for the tips guys. I'm still not totally sure if I'll send it back for a medium though. Just a bit worried that a medium will be a tiny bit too big. It would probably be more SA for raiders, but I actually feel the fit on this jacket is closer to SA temple of doom (it was more snug on him in ...

Dre

After seeing a bit of raiders just now, the jacket really is spot on. However, I still think it does look a bit longer on Harrison. Maybe he's wearing his pants a little bit higher up? It's amazing how much they got the overall fit (minus the length) right though. Especially the back pleats - even t...
