Raiders cloth jacket

With the new 4K release some better screen shots are appearing. Here are a few good shots of the cloth jacket used as Indy runs to Jock’s plane as the dust billows off of it. This jacket was a Western Costume creation made specifically for this scene. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210716/b67695...
