Looks like something went wrong with the attachments.

I always liked his jacket, but like everyone else, I never noticed all the little details. I too thought the collar was corduroy and never really paid any attention to the cuffs. The leather looks similar to modern-day G-1s.

The Tale of Two Hats, it sounds like a good mystery story.

Those are some amazing fedoras. I had a cheap look-a-like a dozen years ago and have wanted the real deal so many times. The unfortunate issue to me is that I just don't have any practical reason for a fedora. My daily wear is does go well (at all) with one. I have a lamb-skin Wested ROL made for me...

Great looking jacket. Do you have any pics while wearing it?

davyjones007

Those are some great looking jackets yawl have. I've been searching for a non-military, music jacket for a while. I think USW might be the ticket. Both of my A-2's are russet and look great, but they are the only ones in a sea of brown, leather jackets. I usually were a 48-50 tall. Any recommendati...

I have one of Tony's original numbered jackets he made for me. He was great to talk with and loved that we loved this hobby. I don't own a US Wings jacket yet. They look great in many posts that I have seen and yours is no exception. Would be great to see some with you in it.

Such great looking jackets. Temptation is a dangerous thing....

davyjones007

As always, great to have choices.

I second the Alden shop in DC. Great service and excellent selection of boots, dress shoes and casual shoes.

davyjones007

I loved my Wested pants. They were great in so many situations. If only I could have kept them, but time and gravity take over. The quality of their pants is amazing. The material was soft and held a crease forever and a day. And, as mentioned before, the price makes them the best thing in town.

Great looking jacket. I love when the sleeves have that accordion look to them. All of my custom made jackets have about 2 extra inches in length for that very purpose and still be long enough to wear on a bike. I have used the hot water treatment on goat and hh with decent success. Both times to he...

I have three currently:

1) Wested Lamb in authentic brown - 2005
2) Wested Pre-distressed cow - 2007
3) Tony Nowak Original Crystal Skull hide - 2008?

I want to add a Wested HH eventually.

davyjones007

Looks like it's time to add another jacket to the collection. HH has always been on my wish list.

davyjones007

Jacket looks great. Magnoli knows hot to put one together. The leather color and texture is amazing.

davyjones007

Now that is one fine looking jacket!

davyjones007

Great looking LC jacket!

davyjones007

Such a great story about your Aldens. I have had my 405s for about 8 years and they look nothing like yours. But I didn't wear mine everyday. I used to save them for special occasions. Not anymore!

davyjones007

Such an amazing looking jacket. Overtime I see something from Magnoli's collection, my wallet starts running for its life.

davyjones007

That is awesome I wonder if their HH is the same thickness as John Chapmans on his A-2s.

davyjones007

That is a sweet deal!

davyjones007

My second Indy jacket has the same issues with the arm holes being too big. On the flip side, it makes it easier to layer without feeling too tight.

davyjones007

I have pre distressed cow Raiders and I think it looks good when I apply some pecards. Once it dries out some, it looks odd. Not a supple as when it's wet.

davyjones007

I have my eye on a Raiders HH to supplement my lamb skin for different seasons.

davyjones007

The only Indy jacket I own is a Todd's. It's as SA as I'll ever need to get, should it ever come up. Now I want a tough jacket. I'm really itching for a Hero (and it's in my budget) as my next purchase, but I'm on the fence as far as goatskin or horsehide. From what I can gather, horse is a bit tou...

davyjones007

I know several folks on here had a few special order jackets made by G&B. So are all the jacket going to be made to order? The ones still listed on the site show sizes. Maybe for off the rack orders?

davyjones007

Great looking jacket. When the measurements are done right, the jacket looks its best. Well done!

davyjones007

Can't wait to see some pics with you in that bad boy! I always wanted a HH Raiders for those colder days.

davyjones007

Not sure about their Indy jackets, but I own two of their A-2s, one in goat and the other in HH. The goat is amazing and soft and the HH is tough (not Aero or LW tough) but very durable and looks great as well.

Anyone else have trouble with the tongues on the 405's not staying centered? Always sliding towards the outer side of the foot. I did for a while but I googled different ways of lacing boots and that helped a LOT. Just find the one that works for you, it apparently is a common issue with easy fixes...

davyjones007

Makes me a bit sad that I never pulled the trigger on one of these great jackets. At least they still sell all their other great mil spec jackets.

davyjones007

A little late on this thread, but those are great looking jackets.

davyjones007

You really got lucky there. Nice find.

davyjones007

Nubuck does seem to give the jacket an aged, distressed look to it. Does it drape differently the lamb or goat? How is it on thickness?

davyjones007

Sleeve length always seems to be the jacket maker or jacket killer. Measure twice, order once

davyjones007

I remember seeing a similar jacket at Tokyo Disneyland around 2006 or so. It looks like yours has already been on an adventure or 2

davyjones007

And that is the reason I always wanted a Raiders in HH. Great story and looking jacket.

Remember, we're talking about a guy who wore wool pants, a leather jacket, and fur felt hat in the jungles of Peru and the Egyptian desert.

Very true. So maybe not every adventure was "well planed"...

davyjones007

Going back to the original question about Indy's choice of jacket, I can't help think that it would really depend on where he is at. We know that if Indy went to Nepal to seek out Abner, he would be wearing something a bit more substantial than his usual lambskin jacket. We've seen his house and he ...

davyjones007

Great looking jacket Holt. I would not have thought that was lamb by the way it was standing up. It almost looks like HH, but not as thick as Aero's FQHH. Great work on the details.

Diego, now that Car96 received his jacket, whose LC jacket is next up for assembly? Next is order #40 (Glenville86) Functionality has to do with the diameter of the armholes. Yeah, you get a little bit from the gussets, but not as much as slimmer diameter arm holes, if functionality is your game. S...

My distressed cow does the exact same thing.

davyjones007

No, it did not!

davyjones007

Agreed! Agreed!

davyjones007

I always thought horsehide would be make a great Indy jacket. I love my lambskin, but HH would take a real beating.

davyjones007

All those great looking Hero jackets makes my wallet a bit nervous...

davyjones007

Great looking jacket. Really like the texture of the leather and slight reddish undertones.

My Wested lamb had a heavy smell for a few months. It went away after I wore it the rain a few times. That was also from 2002 when I got mine.

davyjones007

Having tried this on my A-2 Goatskin jacket, I thought I would give it a go on my Aero HHHB. I wore it for about 30 mins during a recent rain shower and simply kept bending my arms and also several sets of arm rotations. Sometimes I would rub the sleeves up and down as well as keep my hands in my po...
