Yes, this seems more plausible. Maybe someday a screen-used jacket will resurface.

Dunross76

Maybe this is just me, but I still see a leather jacket in this scene. Has anyone ever confirmed with D. Landis that a cloth jacket was actually made? It's obvious it's not leather from the scene in the movie. You have to see the clip in motion in 4k resolution. Thanks for the suggestion. I watched...

Very nice jacket. I saw it posted on Facebook yesterday and as I was looking at it, I was thinking that I cannot justify buying yet another Indy jacket. I like my Nowak CS although I find it a little too heavy. My custom Raiders and Crusade jackets made by Wested fit me really well and after several...

Congratulations to Gemma!!!! It's awesome that Peter posted the pictures!!!

Dunross76

What a beauty!

Dunross76

Great looking jacket and IMO the CS jacket looks bigger on HF too. What size is this? Looking at your jacket, I wish my CN TN was a little baggier.

Dunross76

For me my favorite is my TN CS. I've owned many jackets over the years from several different vendors and I must say that the only jacket that looks the part (for me) is my TN. I've never owned G&B and think that I'd like it too, but for now my TN keeps me happy.

Dunross76

awesome jacket and looks great on you. I wouldn't even think of selling it.

Dunross76

Super nice jacket! Looks great on you! Where did you get the T-Shirt?

Dunross76

I think the jacket looks great on you. The only thing I would prefer is a little longer sleeve. You can take them out and get an extra inch. This is what I did with my last Wested. Otherwise, the jacket looks great!

Dunross76

The TL stunt jacket had action pleats. He was wearing protective gear underneath the shirt.

Dunross76

awesome fit! looks great!

Dunross76

Indy Croft ! Great pictures and AWESOME jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dunross76

well, I own several indy jackets including TNO and Westeds. I must say that the Bantu Wind pattern and look is great- I am just not too keen on the leather after wearing the jacket for a while now. I know it may seem like a silly question, but I got my "Bantu Wind" jacket wet today and I s...

Dunross76

All of them look like nice jackets. The only thing that I don't like about them are the pocket flaps. Maybe they just appear wrong to me on the pics, but I think if this is to be a copy of the TNO Raiders, then the flaps look completely different. Otherwise, it's a nice looking jacket.

Dunross76

I know it may seem like a silly question, but I got my "Bantu Wind" jacket wet today and I started wondering what it's made of? Is it actually leather?

Dunross76

Very Raiders Holt! Awesome jacket! here is my 5 year old Todds standard xxl old pattern. one of the BEST jackets I own. it's so screen accurate it's crazy. leather, grain, details and fit. man, I'm telling ya, if you have the old pattern todds standard you have a treasure, never let it go. here show...

Dunross76

Yeah, it has become my favorite jacket now too....well, second favorite after my TNO. Great looking jacket! For a hundred bucks, I had to know. http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/269125_10150234118206564_577781563_7474685_2316442_n.jpg Only been fooling around with it for about an hour, ...

Dunross76

My apologies- I was referring to the cut of the jacket, not the hide.

Dunross76

Great jacket, but I must say that TNO, so far, was the only one able to make the jacket look like the Raiders jacket. Maybe it's my eyes, but when I look at these pics, I see another great Wested jacket, but not exactly what I see in the movie. I guess it takes Harrison Ford to make any jacket look ...

Dunross76

This is exactly the jacket I saw in Tony's factory- as I said and evident on the pics, it has Tony's signature on the back panel.

Dunross76

Correction to my previous post. I said that I might be thinking about a different jacket. Nope. It's the jacket. I looked at the screen shots from the movie and it is exactly the jacket I saw in Tony's factory.

Dunross76

Gentlemen, I was in Tony's factory as usual very late at night and he was showing me different jackets. I remember him showing the jacket to me and showing me his signature on the inside of the back panel. If I recall correctly it was on March 31, 2010 just a few days before he left for Italy. Unles...

Dunross76

This is interesting as I had the jacket in my hands. somewhere on inside of the back panel, Tony put his signature.
He looked at me and said that he did it, so if it ends up in some museum, they would know it was made by him.

Dunross76

My TN CS got recognized once! Surprisingly, it was one of my Chinese clients who happens to be female. She asked me if it was "HF's jacket from Indiana Jones?". I was really surprised as I would never expect this especially from a client from China. I get "nice bomber jacket" onc...

Dunross76

I am surprised to hear that they cause you discomfort and sorry to hear this. I've had my Aldens since 2007 and have been wearing all the time. They were a little stiff in the ankle area at first, but after a week of wearing they became very comfortable. I'd say give it a solid week and you won't co...

Dunross76

Despite the zipper issue on my jacket and it's becoming "the jacket" for me. I love the way it drapes. I am glad it wasn't my 1st jacket in the hobby as I wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do. I concur with Holt, it reminds of the jacket from the Peruvian temple scene.

Dunross76

As i posted in the other thread. I've got Nowak jackets, Wested and now Bantu Wind. I think Bantu Wind- despite that curved yoke- still screams Raiders and I am really happy with it. Zippers fail and luckily can be fixed. That a $99 jacket could compete with a $900 and hold its own. I think we need...

loose stitching. oh well...I never expected the jacket to last, but didn't expect the zipper to fail as quickly as it did either.

Dunross76

Hi Guys,

I love my Bantu Wind jacket, but after wearing it for little over a week, the zipper got ripped out. I guess it makes sense to never zip the jacket up as the zipper won't last.

D.

Dunross76

Thank you very much guys! He is the biggest joy of my life and if he can help me distress my jackets by puking on them, even better!

Dunross76

Hi! When I showed my son my TNO, he fell asleep. When I showed him one of my Westeds, he fell asleep too. When I showed him my most recent acquisition, he looked at me and muttered: "Not SA enough". Just look at the pics and his facial expression says it all ;) He probably thinks his dad i...

Dunross76

It rained while I was wearing my jacket last night. It got soaked quite a bit and this morning the jacket was a little stiff and started breaking in

) also, it's no longer as shiny which makes me happy, of course. I think it will distress naturally and fast too.

Dunross76

yes, my jacket is a little tight in shoulders. I wonder if my "L" is actually "M"?

Dunross76

yes, there is a slight crease, but H2O took care of most of it. not a big deal anyway. just from wearing the jacket for 1 day, the crease is hardly there...

Dunross76

I would say that it has a tighter fit than my other jackets with the exception of my Nowaks. I don't think it needs any distressing apart from some light H2O treatment. I can tell that it will distress quickly. I may consider ordering one size up to see what the jacket looks like when it's a little ...

Dunross76

it's LARGE.

The back is 24,5
The sleeve is +- 25

chest is 41.

Dunross76

ok Holt! This should make you a little happier. I added more pics of the back, front and me wearing the jacket. This should give you an idea what the jacket looks like. Also, I took them without the flash, so its color is more true to what the jacket looks like...very dark brown. here's the link to ...

Dunross76

I have just posted some pics. Sorry that they're kinda lousy, but I took them myself at my local Starbucks and my camera run out of juice. http://s1131.photobucket.com/albums/m555/andrewbuks1976/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Also, I must say that the pics do a tremendous ...

Dunross76

Sorry....spent quite few years on COW now and still no idea how post pics. I guess I can post a link to my FB. Yes, the yoke does seem to restrict my movement, but it will stretch and I've never owned an Indy jacket that would be super comfortable. I am 5'11, 41 chest, 34 waist and 10 1/2 EE Alden. ...

Dunross76

Ok boys and girls! I received my jacket and after owning several Westeds and a couple of Nowaks, this was the first time in this hobby that I was truly impressed with what I bought. I don't know...maybe all Todd's jackets are like this one, but it feels like the Raiders jacket for sure. The leather....

Dunross76

Very nice jacket. It has this relaxed Indy jacket look. I love it.

Dunross76

Are you referring to the famous immigrant pocket?

Dunross76

This is one of the best LC jackets I've ever seen. I love my CS Nowak, but I agree with Holt that there's no need for cowhide for the appearance reasons. At the same time, I know since my CS is made of cowhide, it will last forever. It can take the kind of abuse no other jacket can take.

Dunross76

Awesome jacket! I gotta call Peter and get one too...best Wested I've ever seen! Congrats!

Dunross76

What a sweet looking jacket! It's really nice to see a jacket which actually looks like The Jacket.

Dunross76

Awesome jacket! G&B is my next purchase now!

Dunross76

Can you show us the back of the jacket?
