My experience from emailing Tony was the “standard” CS jacket was $650. Immediately after his death the guy who took over TNO raises the price to $950. Indiana Jeff "The guy" was Riley, Tony's stepson. He ran the shop in a reduced capacity for roughly two years, though the last several mo...

There's plenty of Alden retailers:

I have a Venice Pier LC hat that Steve made for me in 2006

Rikimaru

propercloth, luxire, and kent wang all have made to measure programs.

Rikimaru

I sort of pulled one off today. Ordered a TOD from Wested but they only go up to size 46. I ordered the 46 but in the comments requested a size 50 jacket, larger pockets but smaller than the raiders and in horsehide. Have plenty of lightweight Indy jackets. Wested did their normal screening of the ...

Rikimaru

Count me in Dan. This has been a long time coming and I've wanted something to replace my Nowak.

Aren't we all!

There were 3 original LC orders. So knowing that Car received his means mine is behind Glenville. If I had placed any other order, I wouldn't be keeping track.

Thank you. I'm gauging to see how long before my order is up.

Rikimaru

Diego, now that Car96 received his jacket, whose LC jacket is next up for assembly?

Rikimaru

Onstat, If I can offer up one bit of advice, I'd say double-check the back length by comparing a sport coat or some other jacket. At worst, tape paper together to get the length you are considering and then have someone tape/hold it to your back and see where it hits. You said you'll be wearing thi...

Does anyone have pics of worn-in Alden 405s in chromexcel (not 403s)? I am pulling the trigger on a pair from Alden SF and since I already have a newish pair of the regular 405s in brickish-brown and thought for the second pair I might try a more brown color. Do these darken over time to look more ...

Rikimaru

Depending on how tall you are IndyJames, a Med.Long may be the way to go once they are re-stocked.

Rikimaru

@Chewbacca Jones, thank you for addressing that the body type determines the cut of the jacket. People get too caught up on what the back length should be. Short or long-torso, broad shouldered or sloped shoulders, and stomach size are just a few of the factors that people should take into considera...

Rikimaru

Azuma, Any possibility of doing a custom size shirt? I have some broad shoulders and need a "fitted" shirt; otherwise to have a shirt fit the shoulders and arms the body hangs to my knees. Thanks, Ted III Why not just purchase a larger size and have it tailored to achieve your "fitte...

Rikimaru

Is the LC more functional that the others? I would have thought the Nowak one is the most functional - it's the most professionally tailored even if it is not as magical as an accurate LC. My TN is a great jacket that I worked with Tony to work better for my day to day needs. We slimmed the sleeves...

Rikimaru

I was one of the people who requested gussets on the LC as I wanted more functionality out of the jacket rather than "screen-accurate".

Rikimaru

It looks to be coming along nicely. I look forward to having my jacket go into production as soon as you have the pattern finalized. I'm hoping the weight of the premium cow isn't as heavy as my TNO LC.

Rikimaru

I think both of them look great. Did S&J age your jacket or did you give it the same treatment as you did the Wested?

Rikimaru

How did you protect Tony,Riley and Peter? Riley did himself in with fans. My own experience is an example, I had made contact with Tony shortly before he died about a Surrogates jacket. I thought that ship had sailed with his passing, but then Riley took over TNO. I contacted Riley and the price ha...

Rikimaru

The founder of the company, Tony Nowak, passed away and his son took up the business, however they no longer make Indiana Jones jackets and only work on larger corporate accounts I believe. Your best bet is to watch the Cairo Bazaar here and eBay to find one second hand, though they're getting more...

Rikimaru

Something I always wondered was whether or not Ford's jacket may have been one size too small on him? I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if they made him a jacket one size too small in the chest to make him look bulkier and more rakish by doing so. It wouldn't be unusual to do so. Rumor has it that Da...

If you want to boil it down, I think the bigger issue is this...some think that a jacket vendor is playing dirty pool, and offends their sensibilities, so they do not want people to buy from the vendor, but to buy a jacket from the other vendor(s)...? It's apparent that we share different beliefs a...

Rikimaru

This has nothing to do with Tony's death. Don't make it about that. None of these people are making the jacket themselves. In this case a Nowak jacket was taken apart for the sake of a exact pattern then turning it over to jacket makers to fullfill orders. There is no skill by this person. They are...

Rikimaru

Thanks John, at least you can see where I'm coming from. If BK had utilized the same leathers and made their own pattern, it wouldn't be such an issue. But taking apart one of Tony's HF sized jackets and using that as their basis has always struck a wrong cord with me. You can make a great jacket wi...

Rikimaru

What is there to compare? Other than Kelso sourcing a nice lamb leather, they have done nothing other than rip-off the work that someone else has done.

Rikimaru

Oildale, That is one jacket that should NEVER leave your collection. It has such unique character to it, that I have not seen in any other from TNO. But I do believe there was only one other person who had a Raiders made up from the same hide that was used for yours. To top it all off, you got Tony'...

Rikimaru

T -

You enter your information for back and sleeve length on the second page of the checkout process.

Rikimaru

That's a great looking hide. I only recall seeing two other jackets made in that skin and both of them were also TOD.

Rikimaru

The only way to be certain of how many Raiders jackets have left TNO, you would have to be able to see the folder containing each customers order (name, jacket number, inscription). As for the numbering, it remained the same after Riley took over the shop.

Rikimaru

#3 for sure. Even at that price its still a great deal. On a side note, would the color remain about the same as the previous batch or would you be sourcing a darker color?

Rikimaru

As stated previously, when there is any new info or updates he will post them.

Rikimaru

Well put CM. I agree with all that was said.

Well mountaineer, going by the photos posted I'd say the medium looks like the better fitting of the two.

Rikimaru

It's always great that the item your posts are about, are pictured with other articles of gear. Makes it stand out more

Rikimaru

Thats a great looking jacket on you. I have thought about purchasing this same jacket, but opted not to. I just don't think that I would get enough wear out of it :/ But I will say that Magnoli makes a superb product!

BTW, that's a nice looking fedora

Rikimaru

Top photo appears to be the 403 based off of the darker color and darker laces

Rikimaru

Its a great feature to have for sure. Magnoli places those on his jackets also

Rikimaru

Multiple posts have covered those jackets before....

Rikimaru

All of the linings for the LC jackets were dark brown silk? I thought I had seen a black one before. Guess my eyes have been playing tricks on me

Rikimaru

Placed my order once I saw they were available. Look forward to seeing it in person

Rikimaru

RC- What is the happy cow? I don't recall reading anything about it or seeing pictures

But I'm aware of the price of the italiain cowhide and I'm not concerned about that. I just wanted to see which is closer to the color seen on screen; that or the dark CS. Thx

Rikimaru

In regards to the LC jacket by Tony, which leather looks closer to what is seen on screen? Italian cowhide or the dark CS cowhide? I'm going off of crismans and orbs jackets, but we all know how misleading pictures can be....

Rikimaru

Look forward to getting one of these once available

Rikimaru

K.A.

Holt has been talking about getting his new LC jacket in goat from Wested but it would probably be better for him to say it than I. Dont want to put words into anyones mouth....

Rikimaru

look forward to seeing more photos of this jacket

Rikimaru

It's a nice looking shirt, but I wouldn't say it's "distressed"

Rikimaru

Great looking jacket Orb. Now you just have to get your black comb and switchblade

Rikimaru

Thanks RC. I dont mean to steal the thunder from Hans post, I was just wondering what size I need to make my pockets. I was going use the measurements off of my Manoli but its basically a size 40 and the one I'm going to order from Tony will be a 42. Maybe its not that much of a difference where I w...
