Nice jacket! My personal favorite hide,

. Thanks for posting!

Captain D

Lookin' good! A jacket of mine is being done now too (along with some other historical reenactment gear). Once I get it back, I'll be sure to post some pics, as well. Thanks for posting!

Captain D

I do like the adventure bag w/ Indy's name on it at least, lol.

Captain D

Wow, that Steele & Jones in thin horsehide would be something that I would be interested in, lol...

Captain D

We'll done!

I love the look & age of the jacket, indeed. And, good point, mine (I thought too) was a good match for the Indy 5 jackets, which I love. Thanks for sharing and keep em' comin'!

Captain D

Yeah, mine certainly doesn't have any gray undertones either. I'm going to try and break mine in a lil' further and I'll be sure to post some update pics...

Captain D

Lookin' good - I'm still working on breaking mine in some yet, lol. Keep us posted on the pics / how it breaks in, etc.!

Captain D

PM sent,

Btw, I'd love to see your work on the new Wested Legacy jackets...

Captain D

Hmm, interesting post! I was always hoping that someone would offer this service for the jackets and gear in general. Although I can certainly reach out myself, just curious if there is there a degree of distressing / fee chart, etc. just out of curiosity...?

Captain D

Hmm, I've never had any structural concerns (stitching, etc.) on any of my Magnoli jackets - everything is nice & tight. Heck, personally, I prefer it to USWings and a few Westeds' that I've owned. But, of course, to each his/her own. Looking forward to seeing your new jacket once you get it reg...

Captain D

The undertones of my jacket weren't grey, but I did notice a very minor nick in the leather too. I've owned two Magnoli jackets and between the two, one was more tailored in the waist than the other (despite the measurements regarding the waist being exactly the same). For me, they're not deal-break...

Captain D

Simply amazing - after seeing these distressed jackets, it's tempting to put in an order for one, lol...

Captain D

Yes, please don't ever stop making these jackets, Indy Magnoli - I'm a customer for life,

Captain D

Agh, I was hoping that he would put together a thin cowhide this time round.' And, I agree, the texture looks a dinosaur or alligator was filleted. I wonder if he'll re-produce the fedoras. They looked pretty good from what I had seen advertised & thought about going for one. Overall, great to s...

Captain D

Back side shot. Although I'm tall / thin, I did give myself extra room in the upper arm sleeve sections because, maybe it's just due to the Indy jacket design, I always found that I needed extra room in those areas to take into account the sleeve ride-up while driving, etc. Thanks for looking!

Captain D

Hello all, here is jacket #2 from Magnoli (sunlight angle is making it look lighter than it actually is). Just applying some minor Fuller's Earth:

Captain D

Anyone have any luck distressing these jackets to look as good as they do on the Wested website, update progress pics, etc. lol?

Captain D

Hmmm, can't say that anything was glued on mine (as far as I can tell) as all of the stitching looks nice & tight. Although my Raider's WL jacket is a touch lighter brown in color than my former WL LC: 1.) Maybe it's supposed to be that way since a darker leather is intended for the LC to contra...

Captain D

My first Magnoli WL jacket (LC version) was absolutely superb (color, weight, distressing, etc.). However, it was just too snug around the armpit & upper arms while driving or essentially anytime I raised my arms. It truly pained me to sell it as it was 'everything' I was looking for in an Indy ...

Captain D

Absolutely, it does look fantastic - I love it! Thanks a bunch for sharing!

Captain D

TexanScott - wow, thank you for your efforts in inquiring. Great to hear & something to keep an eye on for sure :

Captain D

Is that lambskin? If so, dang, it looks awesome,

Captain D

Yes, the washed goatskin - my personal fav,

.

IndyOriginal - what size jacket is that? You want to sell it, lol?

Captain D

Cool jacket - if they offer a pre-distressed version, I'd be more inclined to opt for one. As a side note, however, as much as I love both the ROLA and LC jackets (I'm very anxious to see the Legacy LC jacket though), I'm leaning towards their Legacy ToD jacket. Reason being, with my being tall / th...

Captain D

Lookin' great - congrats and thanks for sharing pics! Btw, is the leather soft? Reason being, my 2nd Magnoli jacket wasn't as soft as my first (more stiff / course in texture). Not a biggie, but was just curious...

Captain D

Wow, simply amazing - thank you Brandon for taking the time to share your knowledge with the good folks here in the forum as that was very kind and generous of you!!

Captain D

The more replies, the merrier! As for me, I alternated between a cloth measuring tape & a regular measuring tape on a jacket that did fit very well. In the end, stick with the cloth measuring tape because: 1.) That's what Magnoli recommends for greater accuracy, 2.) It's what they utilize on the...

Captain D

Dang, that's really fast - one month!

Please post pics too when you get the chance! Did you go with Model A or C version?

Captain D

Thanks! It's actually super easy - I reckon' that, yes, you could use a brush. But, I simply used an old sock, dabbed it in the Fuller's Earth (which, is essentially a powder), & merely rubbed it in. Of course, you can equally wipe it off on areas that had too much applied to help blend in. What...

Captain D

Hard to tell some of the dust elsewhere on the jacket (if the mods needs to move this thread to the gear care and distressing - no prob!

).

Captain D

Vic's cool lookin' jacket. I wonder if he also wore it in Raiders' + ToD films, as well...?

Captain D

Pic #2: It's getting there with the Fuller's Earth.

Captain D

Hey man, lol, how're you doing? Yeah, I peek in every so often and see what's new going on (mostly in the Indy 5 threads lately). Thanks for checking out the jacket as I'm still in the hobby. Great to see you and the good folks here at IndyGear! :D Attached are a few more pics of the jacket - I adde...

Captain D

Lol, I've been Fuller's Earthing it up some. I'll post in next day or two...

Captain D

Sure, I believe that it took exactly 3 months from order date to delivery date...

Captain D

Thanks man! Yeah, I found a lil' tub of light brown Fuller's Earth & I confess - I gave into temptation by taking an old sock, dabbing it in, and applying some of the movie magic dust to the jacket - pics to come as it tended to give it a nice ToD feel to it ;) ... beauty about the Fuller's Eart...

Captain D

Thanks a bunch for the reply! The fit + feel is absolutely perfect. I'll see if I can get someone to take a few pics of me wearing it. But, it's 96 degrees outside right now, lol. The grain of the leather is very consistent throughout, which I can appreciate. Although I'm going to 'try' and let it a...

Pic #2:

Captain D

Hi all, It's been awhile since I've posted, but here are a few pics of the new Magnoli 'Version A' Indy jacket. I once owned another Magnoli Indy jacket, but I sized up the arm-holes just a tad too narrow (completely my fault) so it truly pained me to sell it as the distressing was absolutely superb...

Captain D

Fantastic research - well done!

I always liked Vic Armstrong as Ford's double & thank you for sharing the pics!

Captain D

Indy Magnoli - Every time I see your avatar, I can't help but see the similarities between you and Mike Wolfe from the TV show, 'American Pickers,'

.

Captain D

Hi there M, I had a feeling that you may pop up and note the amount of distressing, tee-hee, lol, :lol: . And, you're absolutely correct - the attention to detail by Magnoli is highly commendable indeed. :clap: There will be another jacket purchase in the future, no doubt. And, I'm curious what othe...

Captain D

Many thanks folks for checking out the jacket! Yeah, lol, I may have elluded to Magnoli to not be bashful on the amount of distressing, ;) . The cool thing is that it looks like it's right off the set of LC at the conclusion of the film. It also kind of reminds me of Noel Howard's screen-used ToD ja...

Captain D

Received my Magnoli Indy jacket recently (pictures are in the works ;) ). Without question: quality workmanship, color, stitching, attention to detail, lightweight of the cowhide, customer service, etc. Although some of the measurements were slightly off, it's not bad overall. Magnoli was kind enoug...

Captain D

Lookin' good, thanks man! Only a couple more weeks to go til' mine arrives, lol. I appreciate you taking the time to snap a few pics for me. I've watched Raiders' 3x this past week as I (somewhat patiently) await the jacket! As for a shirt, I may simply opt for a Costume Base rendition. Granted, it ...

Captain D

Likewise, I too 'really' liked the leather & overall construction. But, the fitment just wasn't there. I don't blame you in that I too was getting irked with the amount of time to receive the refund (month and a half, ugh). But, it worked out & all is good. I gave US Wings a shot & moved...

Captain D

Hi, I did finally receive a refund (a month and a half later). However, they were supposed to send an email indicating a refund but I learned of it only by checking my bank statement. Granted, I realize that it may simply be a busy time of the year for them, such as for military contracts, etc. But,...

Captain D

As mentioned in an above post, I went with custom (Magnoli) because the OTR jackets (Wested, US Wings, etc.), are all huge in the body for me when trying to accommodate the extra sleeve length. Plus, when I raise my arms up, the whole jacket itself also raises up. I need it thinner in the body, some...

Captain D

...good luck if you ever have to return yours. Mine has been one month and counting for a refund. Between not being overly impressed with the fitting and the long refund process, my first initial impression of US Wings has been rather mixed, I'm sorry to report back.
