Thanks Dude!

Gorak is the latest owner (I guess?) of my ex Nowak Goat.
My only Indy Jacket is the new Kelso.

OK there is my BK Relic Hunter jacket in size 38: http://s14.directupload.net/images/120802/iczchcqp.jpg #612 of 1981 http://s7.directupload.net/images/120802/x9iqfuay.jpg June 12 1981 was the release date of ROTLA ;) I will post some pics wearing it very soon. Best jacket since TNO! Cheers orb

You need to lay the jacket flat, zip it all up and stretch it a bit in the chest. Then measure it and you should get the 22" to 22.5" measurement.
Do not include the gussets. Just pit to pit.

So Wested has the right to make a clone of a TNO Raiders jacket?

orb

The Nowak looks 10 times better. But that's not hard

The collar on your Nowak is just perfection.

Cheers

whiskyman you maybe should mention too that you carried a christmas tree when you ripped your TN SL jacket.
Oh and Tony made you a free jacket because of this issue.

Nuff said

I have said several times that I think we tend to exaggerate how short the Raiders and ToD jackets should be. I think it still goes on today. The most frequent criticism posted when people get new jackets is about length. We've studied it ad-nauseam, but I still think we aim too short. Of course, t...

There is a close up photo of the LC with Lucas, Spielberg and Ford standing close together in a Last Cursade a promo shoot. You can see the flap very clearly in the shot. That jacket has no piping.

Show photo?

I started this thread in memory of my friend Tony. But now I don't like what happened to it.
Please lock this thread.

IMO get what zipper you personally prefer and always keep in mind that a zipper doesn't make a jacket.
It's a small detail and won't make your jacket look more LC.

orb

I think the jacket fits Holt much better then other guys I recently saw here BUT even Holt had to tighten up the sidestraps very much to make it look better. We all not blind. The pictures speak for itself. The jackets are probably 1-2 sizes to big for everyone. 1 size for Holt. This should might ge...

Another real winner out there! SpeedRxrX how much Nowaks O:) do you have? Must be a few then? Love the rich Brown color of the 747 leather! Just an advice... You should relax and sit back and let your Surrogate wear the jacket. That would be me then I guess :Plymouth: I'm really jealous man! =P~ Reg...

I also have a Type 2 Shrunken Lamb but I don't think Riley still have something of that leather left.
This was the more smoother SL batch which Tony got once.

Just saw this thread and wow what a great jacket!
I believe no matter what Indy Jacket 1,2,3 or 4 would look great in the 747 leather!
That's a real jacket! Wear it with proud!

the zipper was brass. dont you all think that it would take more then just a few days, weeks even months after they got the new jackets to develop that ''yellowish'' look on the zipper you all are talking about? does it not develop over time because of the elements, stress and use? this makes me sm...

orb

Yeah it's nickel. Just get back to the screenshots and do us all a favour.

orb

What can be wrong on a zipper? Yeah you know just read the top of the thread. I requested a dull skin. So your the opinion is worthless. Because I never said this is the most and best screen accurate LC ever made.

orb

LJ the embroidery was a request.

Thanks for all the positiv inputs folks!

I just use very thick hangers for all my Nowak jackets and I store the older non Nowak Indy jackets in the nice Nowak Jacket Bags. I got plenty of them.

IMO the whole jacket is bulky so are the sleeves. But the sleeves will look better with wear. So when the wrinkles come the Sleeves will look more tapered.

Here is it! My newest jacket from Riley! Ordered in October 2009 but it took quite a while and after the big loss of Tony it took even longer! I had complete control over my jacket and Riley nailed everything I asked for! For the leather I requested the CS hide but very dull with only small grain an...

I wonder what the definition of ''big'' is in your country orb? because here were I live big is BIG. On tremolos jacket I dont see ''big'' to me it look like the collar is on the stormflap seam which is exaclty the way the smithsonian jacket is constructed. Compare this: http://i169.photobucket.com...

orb

What does this have to do with my country Holt?

I just saw that gap by the stormflap and it doesn't look very good.
The collar starts much after the stormflap seam. That's a huge (big!) gap for me.

That's how it should be IMO:

orb

On the newer pics it's clearly visible that there is again some big gap between the collar and the stormflap!
The collar should normally go to the 1/3 or middle of the stormflap.
Very strange pattern they use

I've been my own boss since September 1st, 1999. The word "deserve" is used by people who collect paychecks, NOT somebody who has ever written paychecks... It's a different world. Personally, I'm excited for him about the adventure ahead of him. It's not for everyone, but for those of us ...

Believe it or believe it not! I got a Reply from Riley a couple hours ago. Here it is:

Got it Gerald, will be back in the factory on the 7th of July.
Thank you
Riley

I don't know where he'd been but this guy may deserved some vacation time

Best Wested I have seen in a while!

Wear it with proud!

orb

I think maybe some others are interested to know that some Companies aren't that exactly when it's about SA.
This jacket isn't just a bargain. They pricey. But hey no hard feelings it's still a nice jacket!

The owner must like it! That's what matters in the end.

orb

Is it just me or does the brass snap on the lower part of the jacket looks really odd?
The snaps should be brown anyway. There's also a huge gap on the back of the jacket on each side.
Was this requested or is this the Magnoli cut?
Good jacket but I've seen better LCs.

All my jackets (only TN) are at least 6 Inches bigger as my actual Chest size.

Nothing to worry PSBIndy. My new nowak goat looks about quite the same as yours. Some parts on my jacket are also more grainy then others. All that just adds character to the jacket and be happy that the leather didn't came totally smooth. I have a small "burn-through" on my Happy Cow ToD ...

Baldwyn you got a great looking jacket there! Congrats.
I can assure you that I got the same leather tone as you. Just try making pics of the jacket in natural daylight.

The Mutt jacket leather is the heaviest leather of all my 7 Nowak jackets.
It's about two times heavier as a single TN1 Indy jacket.

Hey Clutters.

I also a got a second inner pocket and leather facings on my new Nowak Goat Raiders Jacket.

Hello Clutters. My true chest size is 38" at the moment. I'm 5ft. 10 tall. C-D 22.5" G-H 6.75" M-N 25" I know it sounds kinda weird over 6 inches of movement. But that is the cut of the Nowaks. Even Tony himself always recommended me to get atleast 22" at the chest. Every ja...

So orb, if you could pick just one leather which would it be? :-k Hehe. It's not like just to pick a leather. It must match the look of the jackets used in the LC. Tony recommends the CS Leather. But somehow I don't like it that much. I think my Italian Cowhide is a dead on leather for CS. Even wit...

Thanks for all the replies. The pleats aren't that deep. It's an optical illusion on the picture. The shadow makes it look deep. It's the same as on my other TN jackets. Castor I also always wanted a jacket in goatskin. I thought I never get one. Crismans I wouldn't recommend it for a ToD jacket. IM...

Thank you Tundrarider. It's my 7th Nowak so far. I'm not interested in the rest of the gear anymore. My head isn't made for hats I think. I also don't have time for other gear equipment beside the jackets. I bought a Adventure Built Shirt in Small and I don't like it at all. Doesn't even come close ...

Hello guys. I present you here my latest Nowak Addition. Raiders Jacket in the New Nowak Goatskin. Here a few photos. I'm wearing lowboot cut jeans. So this makes the jacket look shorter as it is. It's IMO the perfect Raiders length. The leather reminds me a bit of that Wested Horsehide but it got m...

orb

What leather will you get?
If you get the shrunken lambskin you should get it original. So without leather facings. This will recreate the same drape as on the film used jackets.
