Hi folks!!! Let's clear something with S&J Horsehide option Since year 2012 approx. we offer Horsehide. And ALWAYS had 2 thicknesses: STANDARD = 1.0 mm thick (the one we recommended for LC and CS jackets. MICHAELSON jacket ) -----> ALL GONE - NO LONGER AVAILABLE THIN = 0.8 mm thick (works great...

Thin horsehide isn’t good for LC?! :shock: Since when? :-k He never said that when he made mine! :-k Regards! Michaelson I'm in the same group...My LC is made of thin horse and I think matches really nicely what I see on screen...Diego also was into the horse when he made mine, although I suspect w...

I see any Indy jackets as 2.5-3 season jacket, regardless of type leather, but that’s just my opinion. I’ve found goatskin to be my best ‘all round’ leather choice for various seasonal wear. I find my S&J thin horsehide a perfect mid range weight. Not too heavy, not too light. I just wish I had...

Heyjude7

No need to feel bad. As I said, I was just surprised, as you are going for exactly what I was after, and that’s what he steered me toward, which I am very happy he did! I’m puzzled as to the change of direction now. No big deal, just puzzled. Regards! M I got the impression that he believed the thi...

Heyjude7

Howdy stranger! :TOH: Not sure! Drapes fine for me, and they offered no hesitation in making an LC version for me, so that remark caught me by surprise. And no, it’s cold down here too. ;) Regards! M I feel bad now. Diego has been great and I don’t think anything negative was meant about it. I am n...

I think what he means is the drape doesn’t work for LC. I’m guessing cuz it was a thicker lamb and th...

Heyjude7

Great question! I just pulled the trigger on my first Indy Jacket with S&J! Diego has been super responsive and helpful. I too am going with the ‘38. It’s my favorite and raiders very close second. I too was curious about horsehide and thin cowhide. Diego told me the thick/normal cowhide works ...

Heyjude7

I don't know about thin horsehide but I own S&J ToD in thin cowhide. It feels and drapes like lambskin. Very light leather. About thin horsehide, just send email to Diego from Steele and Jones and he will be happy to answer to any of your questions. Regards Thank ya for the reply. We are writin...

Heyjude7

Greetings all! Happy new year and happy holidays I am placing my order soon(ish) with Diego and wanted horsehide this time for my LC jacket. I’m going for a comfortable wearing jacket with modern clothes. So kinda looser fit than normal and slightly longer so screen accuracy is not needed in that de...

Heyjude7

Anyone else have any good experience with jacket upsizing ?

Heyjude7

Thanks. :TOH: This is a size 44. Im 6'2 so I had this made at 27. Sleeve is 25 I believe. Holt, I know you’re a stickler for details so seeing your action pleats on your jacket made me feel better about mine. I was noticing the other day that my action pleats are opened like yours. I couldn’t remem...

Heyjude7

Hey fellow Indy fans. Recently got a Steele and Jones Crusade jacket in cow and it’s a tad bit fitted. Overall it’s amazing just a smidge too tight. I wanna be able to wear a thicker sweater in it. Any suggestions on stretching it ? Was lookin around and saw the water treatment works for some. Any s...

Heyjude7

I ordered a OTR Crusade jacket in predistressed hide from Wested on December 9th and received it on the evening of January 11th. I went with my proper size of 42 and it feels great! Slightly tighter in the chest when zipped up than my OTR Raiders, but that isn't a big deal. My initial thought when ...

Heyjude7

So is it safe to say they got the details right and ordering the hero would include these details or I’d have to request them?

Heyjude7

Thank you for the quick reply. The hero pics on their site have the hem sewn. I want that accuracy detail on it. I have a Nowak Raiders but It has gotten a tad snug these days and I am gonna give it to my son. I got it the year he was born (2009) and now he can fit it. 13 years old and shot up to my...

Heyjude7

Good day all, I have a question about the wested Hero LC jacket. Is the back bottom panel stitched or is it folded over like the legacy LC?
I’m on the fence about which one to get. I plan on getting it in goat skin.

Heyjude7

Has anyone tried their antique dressing ? https://pecard.com/shop/antique/antique-leather-dressing/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I bought a small can of it Along with the original dressing. The original “dressing” is correct for a leather jacket ? https://pecard.com/shop/...

How do these fedoras hold up?

Heyjude7

Thomas used to offer lower end hats that were a Christy's that he would change the ribbon and swap out the liner and bash to as close as you could get with a Christy's. I don't think he would reblock them as that's a lot of work and would make them quite a bit more expensive than the roughly $100 t...

Heyjude7

This fedora is a thing of beauty and I can’t wait til it arrives !
Thank you for looking and any information anyone has.

Good day! Just got a great deal on a Fedora from a forum member and a member of the Raiders FB page. We were both wondering about the fedora. It has a Christys sweatband and an Advintage liner. The brim dimensions are 2 1/2 x 2 5/8 It’s an amazing looking fed and zero regrets about it jus curious on...

Here’s a Fed IV Deluxe I had back in 2014 (sold it a while back though)
It has a good color but also could be the lighting

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heyjude7

How do you lighten the color? Will it eventually fade to a lighter brown?
Anyone try any methods to lighten the color ?

Heyjude7

Is the Fed IV dark brown close to the color seen in the Movies? Any of the 3 (ok..4!)

Heyjude7

Looking at pics of Magnoli's Adventure Jacket White label, the hide looks very similar to the 747.. or is it my bad eyes?

Leather is a natural material and it is not unusual for some panels to be thinner or softer than others. This may only become aparent when the hide softens. It is highly unlikely leather has worn thinner. The surface would need to be abraided for that to happen. I think Nowak used a thickness of 2....

Heyjude7

Hey Jude, don't be afraid (sorry, couldn't resist ;) ). I suspect your jacket is just loosening up, as I can't imagine why the leather would be getting thinner. However, if you're starting to feel worried about wearing a jacket that is by now almost irreplaceable, Bill Kelso's relic hunter was made...

Heyjude7

Greetings all, I’ve been back on my Indy kick for a lil while now and had a question about my 11 year old Nowak Raiders in 747. It has been my Goto jacket and worn any chance I can. It’s super broken in and in some areas it’s starting to look/feel thinner. Will these areas eventually tear ? You can ...

Heyjude7

With these sorts of offerings it is not always certain that the photo is of the jacket you are getting. A common ploy is to use someone else's worth jacket for your photos and sell junk. But I Cady may be more ethical than that. With the Fury jacket, the jacket was exactly like the photo. every det...

Heyjude7

Redesigning the arm hole and adding gussets. Wested's normal add-on gussets are not all that functional, however. I haven't really had a problem with a standard Raiders with gussets, but the LC does it no matter what and the LC Hero is the worst offender. I once experimented and got Wested to send ...

Nice ! Sweet pjs.
That’s my biggest gripe with Wested is the squirrel effect. How does one get a jacket that doesn’t have this ?

Heyjude7

Any pics ?

Heyjude7

Do these Wested hero LC have the flying squirrel effect ?

I own a max cady Fury jacket and it’s a well made jacket. They had good customer service too.

Thanks Brandon. Fascinating and greatly appreciated. Confirms my view on the Tony Nowak jacket and on the lack of evidence that your truck jacket is the Iman jacket.

Heyjude7

What kind of buckles are those ?

Heyjude7

I am fully convinced Tony had a screen used jacket. The things I would say are similar are pocket details and placement of collar and seams.
I get it though, that Indy jackets are all related and one big happy family.
