That looks beautiful!!

indyrocks

Still have it :TOH: Sorry I had to ask, but I'm dreadfully terrible at names :oops: Did you finally sell that gorgeous TN jacket you wanted to sell to fund your travels or did you keep it? The one in that lighter shade of brown I mean. Again, Welcome back my friend, and please do stay around this t...

anyhow, Welcome back!

Indeed I did! How is it these days? Still got it I hope??

Thanks for the greetings friends!

indyrocks

hello all- I've not posted here since 2008!!! So greetings to one and all. I've been living in Israel on and off the past couple of years while doing graduate work. I'm now back permanently in the US and getting back to some old habits. ;) So I had (that's right, had ) an AB beaver which Steve gener...

indyrocks

666??? That is freaking awesome! I know, I know. I am so cool to be the first one to think of that. :twisted: Just kidding..... Anyways Tony emailed saying I'll have it in my hands on Monday 12/15. It probably won't look terribly different but will FEEL different as I asked for 1/2 inch on each sid...

indyrocks

Hey Indyrocks, the jacket may be a bit too tight compared to the screen version, but definitely looks hot and you look great in it, but I can understand if you want to tweak it -- especially as the man himself is suggesting a fix. Just looking at the pics though, my first impression was that it loo...

indyrocks

Agreed. So I spoke with Tony again, he's got the jacket back and will be going to work on it "right away." Here's a question to ponder while I wait: Is he going to have to completely reconstruct it in order to give me more room in the chest? I would assume he'll have to re-cut a from piece...

indyrocks

Well after discussing some things with Tony he told me "not to compromise with anything." I'm sending it back to him to have 2 small sizing issues adjusted. After wearing it around a bit the sleeves felt a tad long so I'm taking 1/2 inch off, and he's going to resize the chest as well. Wha...

indyrocks

It looks right (good) to me. You don't have the same body type as Ford and these guys are telling you that it doesn't fit based on one picture where the jacket is zipped up farther than Ford ever did in Raiders (except for the still above where Ford is in a different position). Cheers PS- Ford neve...

indyrocks

Beautiful hat Mitch! So glad to see you've finally got it after the long wait. Enjoy it!!

Cheers

indyrocks

Love that color and the look from the back especially has like a 30's feel going to it...almost a "Rocketman" meets Indy with a little motorcycle thrown in....Hatch Hah! I thought of the Rocketeer movie as well. Although it's darker than in those last pics I took. The camera flash definit...

indyrocks

It is indeed an interesting fit. I actually love the tapered look from behind. It's sort of a blend between an Indy jacket and a motorcycle jacket. In any case the most important thing to me is functionality and fit, and when I wear it I see both. It's not uncomfortable in the chest nor is it diffic...

indyrocks

So here are a few more pics. It initially felt slightly snug in the chest but I called Tony and he actually told me to beat the tick out of it and let it stretch out and that the lamb would eventually stretch and mold to my body. He said he's "got my back" and "to not baby the jacket ...

indyrocks

Dr.J: That last pic of the sidestraps shows a pattern (where the x-box stitching would be on a Wested) that is on Todd's jackets. It looks like a "k". I wonder if that was on a production jacket Tony copied or if he borrowed that from Todd? IndyRocks: I asked for an exact copy of the Hawa...

indyrocks

Has anyone experienced the sleeve ride up with the TN jackets made from this leather? Depending on the level of distressing, some jackets cannot hold the creases. They are too soft. The KOTCS jacket would wrinkle nicely, but it did not seem to hold the folds once Ford straightened his arms. You cou...

indyrocks

Indyrocks,as has been stated before "that will shape to your body like a "black spidey suit".......bet you won't want to take it off for the next three days......Hatch Yeah it's beginning to already. I don't know if it's the construction, hide quality, or a combo, but this is really ...

indyrocks

it looks like big tony is using my spec......that i took from my todd's custom ;-) this is one of the questions that i posted for asiana jones in the other thread btw. Yeah I'm curious about these questions as well. Obviously my jacket is not the same as Slydni's in regards to certain details. Eith...

indyrocks

Indyrocks, thanks for the pics, I've been anxiously awaiting them! The leather looks great, and I think the fit is perfect. Congrats! Now your avatar is even more appropriate :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I know, I know. I figured why not? Tony got a kick out of it too. He said "ahhh the...

indyrocks

pics are funny aren't they? that's why you can't rely on screen grabs or even what you see on the big screen :lol: the front view looks spot on but the back is giving off the illusion that its too big......what does that mean? it means that if indyrocks likes the fit, then the fit is right :) congr...

indyrocks

From the back the jacket looks really big on you. Seems like nice texture to the leather although the color appears to be lighter than the shrunken lamb. It's actually pretty snug in the chest. I don't know how it SHOULD look but I like the fit a lot. Reminds me of the spider scene in the temple, i...

indyrocks

Looks good just out of the box....those sleeves should shorten up a little with a little water and bending at the elbow.......looking forward to what it looks like outside.....look forward to Indy G's opinion....it'll only get better with wearing..... LOVE the smile on your face in the first pic......

indyrocks

Okay so here are some quick pics of the jacket. My first impression is that I absolutley love it. I love the color, love the fit, and love how well made it is. It's the best jacket, let alone Indy jacket, I've ever handled, period. Now I know everyone is going to go nuts about the details and why it...

indyrocks

It was just delivered here at work. I'm going to try and get a few shots in during lunch.

indyrocks

Got the phone call from Tony and according to FedEx I will have jacket number 666/888 in my hands by 3PM today. I asked for an exact copy of the Hawaii jacket with NO specs other than sizing. Now, mine is in the flat/matte lamb, not the shrunken lamb. So it will be interesting to compare. Pics will ...

indyrocks

Well done Holt!

Your hard work has paid off and that's one handsome jacket! Great details and awesome work Peter as well!

indyrocks

. I just think that a $250-$300 jacket, of any make, will not last forever. As has been stated, you get what you pay for. Cheers Well the problem with that is that the stitching is the easiest part to get right and the cheapest. It's in the cutting and buying the right leather that costs count. In ...

indyrocks

Glad to hear things worked out. No one likes a bad taste in their mouth and I'm sure Tony wouldn't have wanted to leave it that way, hence his follow. He's an awesome guy and great to speak with if you don't mind the crude verbiage. :[ There is nothing that is fake about Tony Nowak. He's "colo...

indyrocks

Does anyone know how many of the 60 have been sold?

indyrocks

Great jacket! I agree that the fit is perfect. ;-)

get the 40. Raiders jacket wasn't tight. See the movie. In some scenes it wasn't tight. In others, it looks much more fitted and even shorter in some places. As has been discussed in numerous threads, there was more than one jacket in Raiders. I don't think you can say "THE Raiders" jacke...

indyrocks

I've owned 3 Westeds and was never impressed with the quality of the seams. I saw seams come apart on the pockets and straps within 3 months on each jacket. I'm in no way bashing Wested, I loved the leather and the fit of each one. I always got what I asked for and when some problems arose they were...

indyrocks

Very nice color indeed!

indyrocks

I don't believe Tony has mentioned any goat offerings yet. However I'm sure nothing is beyond his reach as far as leather choices.

Side note-My matte lamb is being over-nighted and will be in my posession tomorrow.

indyrocks

Interesting thoughts. However, as time goes on, and a quality beaver hat is worn, it takes on it's own distinct characteristics and becomes more floppy. No, not the same as a rabbit, but it obviously has it's place. Never said that it didn't. However there is a prevailing idea that beaver felt is e...

indyrocks

Also Bink, where did the "matte/flat" lamb title come from? Was that what Tony called it? The reason I ask this is because when first placing my order Tony didn't know what I meant when I said "flat/matte" lamb, he needed me to send him the picture :lol: Yeah, that's what he cal...

Speaking of Terry Leonard, what was his Indy I made from? Was it the lighter colored shrunken lamb? Was any of this confirmed by Tony? Also Bink, where did the "matte/flat" lamb title come from? Was that what Tony called it? The reason I ask this is because when first placing my order Tony...

indyrocks

Has no one else ordered or received one of these yet? Only about 5 or so people have posted that they have one. If you mean Indy I's from Tony, he's sold quite a few according to him. Not everyone who's bought them is a member here. (Yes I know, weird to think we aren't the only Indy fans... :[ ) I...

Yeah more or less. Although there is much to be said for fan input. Then again, Peter was trying to please his customers which is fair also.

indyrocks

I knew you guys were going to fall for this. I was only joking. Wested did not copy TN's jacket (at least not yet as far as I know) But isn't it very similar??? This jacket is circa 99 (see this thread http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=20725&highlight=99) Amazing? What you've proven i...

I already post a photo from Hawaii which clearly shows a jacket longer than 27/888 but it was ignored.

Whether or not it's "clear" is subjective. That's certainly a blurry photo.....

indyrocks

You shall bring me another shrubbery!

They sure do Michaelson...

indyrocks

I think you misunderstood. It would be beneficial to have Tony give us some of the specs so we will know exactly what we're getting, not us send him a requested list. Maybe not size measurements, but things like the hardware, the straps in question above, the standard collar length and width, hides...

indyrocks

I doubt it will be THE LAST jacket people who are into all this will ever get. I'm sure that's been said about Wested's, G&B's, and even Tony's CS jacket in the past, and hasn't proven to be true for those either. Valid point. But to play :twisted: 's advocate, no other vendor had THE jacket in...

indyrocks

I'm fairly sure Tony told me the pockets were not correct on the 001 jacket and that the lack of piping was an oversight. But then, I'm usually asleep when he calls me... Hmmm, I would be very curious to know if this is true or not. I'm sure I'll speak to Tony before I get mine so I could always as...

indyrocks

Yes, I'm presuming that slydini got the exact copy. However, that concerns me a bit because the pockets on his jacket were clearly not the same as the jacket in the screengrab I've shown earlier. Previously I thought that screengrab was from the Elstree set, but it appears Ford IS wearing the Hawai...

indyrocks

G-the fit is PERFECT. It's so raiders to me. Something I've noticed on these Indy I jackets is how high the side openings go up. This can be seen best when viewing the jacket from the inside front-like G's second shot above. This is a very important detail to achieving the look that I haven't seen o...
