What's the model name for Ali Express search? Or do you have the product page link?

Ark101

Anyone else get one of these Destiny jackets delivered recently to compare? Would love to see more samples.

Ark101

I wish they were half the price to better match Wested and the sleeves weren't so long! Love these jackets' strength but just doesn't fit my body type.
Really jealous of that map lining!

Ark101

When I ordered my Legacy LC from Wested I asked for all leather pieces to have the finest most consistent grain so there wouldn’t be any surprise stirations or large wrinkles where I didn’t want them. If I order the Destiny jacket I will do the same so it would look closer to the set pics.

Ark101

I am leaning towards a Crusader style bash in True Sable.
That color looks so perfect in all the photos of the other customer hats.
Considering the vintage map liner with dark brown sweatband.
What do you think of this quote for sweatband?
“You have chosen wisely.”

Ark101

Just started the order process on a Masterpiece!
Upgrading from my current Fed IV deluxe which will still get tons of wear after the Advintage arrives later this spring.

Ark101

Jacket looks so beautiful! I'll definitely be ordering mine soon in the new year. Interesting they have 6-8 week production time. Going to start saving now!

Ark101

I love the durability of US Wings, they were my first ever Indy jacket and bought a few more since they are stateside. However as I have a generally smaller build 5’4 135 lbs I can never get sizing right. Their size small is still huge on me especially in the arms. Lately I’ve had to go custom sizin...

Ark101

Found these from Skechers, super comfy! Shape around the toe is a little wider than the more angular Indy boots but the overall stitching and design with more modern tread underneath will do perfect for my outfit and every day casual wear. For $72 with discount code not bad! :TOH: Work Relaxed Fit: ...

Ark101

I’ve never had a Wested yet and this really has me tempted! Just drives me crazy that the shortest sleeve is 23” when I likely will need a 22 or 22.5” sleeve custom. Just pick 23” in the tab and send Wested your exact custom measurements via e-mail. That’s what I did back then since I also needed 2...

What does pricing come to for this SA Lamb version?

Ark101

Wow this looks absolutely incredible! I love my 2018 S&J ‘38 but man I may have to add this to my Indy closet in the new year!

Wested just posted a “Summer” Cotton Last Crusade!

I wear my Akubra Fed IV Deluxe and any one of my 3 Indy jackets together or separate with nearly any outfit. I get compliments pretty often wherever I go!

Ark101

Anyone found any “new” similar looking compasses out there? Definitely would be nice to have a classy retro compass to add to the gear without the radium issue and rarity/cost.

Ark101

Definitely hoping so! I could also buy a currently available Raiders Sable Harrison to help free up warehouse space!

Ark101

Got an email back from Thomas. He says currently the Harrison is not available in the new True Sable, but maybe in a few months when some space opens up in the warehouse.

Ark101

I haven’t sent him a message yet but I definitely will in the next couple days.
The more I see it the more I feel I absolutely need my next hat in that color!

Ark101

Been considering an Advintage Harrison to upgrade from my Akubra Fed IV Deluxe and stumbled upon a blog entry detailing a new color coming soon- “True Sable”. Color looks beautiful! https://www.advintage.de/index.php/2019/01/30/future-prospects-of-advintage/?lang=en" onclick="window.open(t...

Just got my first Todd’s bag! Definitely will be applying Lexol to darken the strap a bit!

Ark101

I also have used Lexol on my jackets over the years with great results! 3 US Wings and 1 S&J LC are all still going strong and soft!

Ark101

Maybe I’m silly and missed it someplace what’s the difference in the Chicago jacket from the castle sequences compared with the rest of the film and/or the Smithsonian? I purchased my S&J LC ‘38 last year just before their reveal of their Smithsonian trip. I love the jacket more every time I wea...

Ark101

Anyone bought one of these more recently? How is the jacket holding up? Is Wested correctly delivering the the ordered specifications?

I have a S&J LC I love wearing but something in me says I still need a Wested!

Ark101

Anybody happen to order a size small get a sleeve measurement? Sleeves are always tricky for me with USW jackets in the past.

Ark101

I’ll do that. Thanks!

Ark101

Do we know anything about the fit? I really want one but even in the Small size the regular cut has felt a little big in the past. I gather it will not be similar to the Legend pattern which is more of a trim fit.

Ark101

Thanks for all the suggestions! I’m looking to retain the Indy felt look as I’m not a fan of the straw style on me. I was curious if some hatters might have slightly different thicknesses in felt and of course rabbit vs rabbit/beaver combos which might impact warmth on the head.

Ark101

Hello all! I currently have an Akubra Fed IV deluxe. I love wearing it and I get compliments often when I’m out. However as many have noted it’s a bit warm during the summer months. Down the road I’m considering upgrading to a 2nd hat on the higher end and I’m curious from the community of fedora ex...

Ark101

Fantastic jacket! I can’t wait for mine!

Ark101

US Wings is featuring an extra 20% off clearance. Code C20SALE Signature Series Stirated Lambskin is still available. 20% takes $99 off, very tempting. Anybody have pictures of this jacket? How does the hide texture look?

Ark101

Also remember Spielberg shot Raiders quick and dirty, and also stated he wasn’t going to do a million takes if costuming or hair wasn’t perfect. So it’s definitely inevitable a teardrop, misshaped bash, or other shape changes (more noticeable in Cairo) would appear at some point. Fascinating to see ...

Ark101

So what details are most important to everyone for SA? Obviously for most of us factoring in body type and sizing for best fit can take away from SA a little since we’re not Harrison. Is it the D Rings & stitches? Shoulder length? Collar style? Pocket size/style? I’ve noticed lots of preference ...

Ark101

Wow Indiego thanks for all the info! Great to hear about the awesomeness of the latest horsehide you’ve acquired! Looking forward to conversing more when I get closer to being ready to order soon!

Ark101

Thanks for the chart Jeremiah! I shall keep those numbers in mind while I consider my measurements.

Ark101

I've had my Akubra Fed IV Deluxe for about a year now and I love it! I wear it pretty much everywhere and I get lots of compliments. It definitely is little warm in the summer months. Sometime soon I'd like to upgrade to a slightly thinner hat for the warmer weather.

Ark101

Hello all! New member here. Looking for acquiring a new jacket to add to the collection in the next couple months, but would much prefer one that fits me best. From browsing the forums here seems everyone loves the Steele & Jones jackets, particularly the latest Last Crusade offering. For compar...
