Hmm, gusset or no gusset. Does the screen used one not have gussets?

I was curious about sleeves once and I took my Gibson & Barnes jacket to the G&B storefront/factory and inquired about lengthening the sleeves. They said it was basically impossible unless you wanted to gain less than an inch and in turn destroy how the end of the sleeve looked. Afterwards, ...

I have seen side straps attach like those ones on other older US Wings jackets that were sizes XXL and XXXL. Seems like they're normal straps when they're XL and below. I had a china-made blue label jacket just like this about 15+ years ago; great jacket, wish I hadn't sold it now.

Great pic of the bag in action, there! Do the new bags have the "double bottom" like the early Magnoli bags? Much better for keeping dust out while allowing drainage and breathability. I have one of those first run bags (which is still solid and gets used from time to time!), but unfortun...

I took my new modern mkvii out adventuring the other day, and I have to say I love the new interior. As someone who has carried repro Indy bags out in the wilderness countless times, this one is my new favorite! I love the increased viability/usability with the pockets, and my smaller gear pieces do...

Photoss

They're pretty good at sticking with a two-month wait time (though there are exceptions for leather types that aren't in-stock).

Photoss

Great pics, thanks! Your jacket looks really good, you're making me want one...

The size of the collar is giving me Last Crusade vibes. Also not sure how I feel about the storm flap snap placement on what seems to be a Raiders pattern collar though.

Okay, so I know this thread is old, but I thought it deserved resurrection, because US Wings recently released their new Goatskin Indy jackets! :D Anyone purchase one yet? They have two different versions just like the old days, domestic and imported: - 'Indy style' [looks like Legend pattern?], Ita...

I received a shipping notice today from Andy! Anyone know how long it takes for a Relic Hunter to reach Los Angeles? My new one arrived in San Diego in 7 days from when the email was sent to me. My previous Kelso was in US Customs for like 3 weeks though, bit the likelihood of that happening is pro...

Photoss

Yes, mine looks exactly like pdraycott's.

I received my goatskin seal Relic Hunter this morning, and wow, what a thing of beauty. Here's a few shots I took this morning. I would've taken some gear pics, but my hard drive decided to crash and I worked on that all day. For reference, you can see my previous goat RH on page 16 of this thread. ...

Photoss

Mine just arrived (tracking number must've been incorrect,) and it's awesome! I'll post a quick review in the main Kelso thread once I take pics.

Photoss

https://ibb.co/jGaQex https://ibb.co/ikKkex https://ibb.co/gNzkex https://ibb.co/iSzkex Looks terrific! Those striations are beautiful, be sure and post some pics of it on you! I don't think mine is in the US yet, since it's still not trackable. My last Kelso was in the mail for 3 weeks, so I'm kin...

Photoss

I ordered January 19th, and their turnaround time seems to be about 2-3 months, so you're getting close! That seems like a long period to wait, especially since Wested can typically get theirs done in 3 weeks, but it's not so long. I had one order from another vendor that was a perfect jacket in the...

Photoss

Congrats pdraycott! I too just got an email that my RH in goat was shipped; so exciting.

Photoss

Perfect! The S&J merino is as Raiders as it gets, and yours looks terrific distressed.

The hats from Adventurebilt and Penman Hats were made in a way to fade naturally over time. This is not a freak phenomenon; rather, it is ny design. This was done so that an AB or a Penman could fade into the correct color, rather than fading out of it. The kind of fading that IndyRiv has comes fro...

Photoss

So I'm pretty close to getting an Everyman. I haven't bought a fedora in few years, so I'm pretty excited, but IndyRiv brought up an issue with his hat fading in color. Does that seem to be an issue with the Everyman's? Mine would be spending a lot of time outside. I have an Akubra slouch and it's h...

That jacket was a US Wings jacket in their limited run of New Zealand lambskin a few years ago. Previously owned one myself. The camera flash makes the markings more pronounced than they really were in person. It wasn't a bad jacket but, the overall jacket seemed to have a longer cut than usual. Oh...

Photoss

Yeah, that looks exactly like the roo hide. A would-be valuable jacket, now excellent for hunting instead!

The default is all cotton. I don't think I've seen a satin-lined Kelso, but I could be wrong.

Photoss

Well I couldn't stay well enough away, and decided to get another goatskin relic hunter. :o :D I really loved the one I bought back in 2016 (as seen on pages 16 and 17), but it was just too small. I haven't stopped thinking about it though, and decided it was time to get an outdoor use jacket for ac...

Great looking jacket Photoss! Where is the ToD tighter? Is it more of a slimmer fit overall that the Raiders Hero? Thank you! I've never owned a Hero, but I know it's a slimmer fit than my S&J Raiders. The upper chest/arms/back shoulder area seems the slimmest. It hangs off me in an ill-fitting...

Got another response from Wested. Apparently they can do the larger sizes in lamb. Maybe there was some confusion over email. I remember Peter posted that he was working on the patterns for larger sizes 46+ years back. Good, glad they can still do that! They really are great jackets. I'm a size 46 ...

Photoss

Incredible! Just so perfect right out of the box!

Photoss

I live in San Diego also, and I wear my lambskin jackets probably at least a couple times a month or so. I wore my goatskin jacket all of one time last year, so that one definitely gets less use. I will say though, that if that ebay jacket in goat that you posted is in your exact measurements, you m...

I received a star wars Magnoli jacket this evening (two days from Pakistan to San Diego!) and the measurements are correct. Might be a bit short in the chest, but everything else seemed fine. Hope everything works out okay for everyone!

Photoss

My Wested Temple is from mid-2016, and it definitely has the wrong vent. I went for authentic brown lamb, and was disappointed. It ended up very gray underneath, and had a different physical feel from my late-2015 ABL LC. Construction-wise it's fine, and the jacket sits/hangs exactly the same on me ...

That's crazy!! That has to be a typo or something! I thought they were like $20, but I never looked at the price. I'll have to check while I'm at Disneyland tomorrow [and will likely be horrified].

EDIT: They're 47.99 at Disneyland. That's 46.99 over what I would pay for them!

Ok... maybe not the lottery, but... if you notice the label in Nebraska's jacket... it's a White Label. This was a special job for the good doctor and, since there seems to be a bit of interest, we've now expanded our White Label offering to include this LC version (Model C). Available on our site ...

I can't wait to see all of them! Hopefully they're perfect.

I'm planning one for one in cow or horse. I'm glad they were all bought up so quickly.

Photoss

I just echo what the others said above, the signature series is a great line of real-world jackets, but they all seem to run at least one size larger than what they say. I'm a 46 (220 lbs) and a sig series Large fits me well, though if you want to layer XL might be the way to go. US Wing's Legend li...

Beautiful jacket! I like the snaps as is personally, they remind me of the Secret of the Incas jacket. Fits you perfectly too!

Photoss

That looks great! Can't wait to get one in one of the other skins!

Photoss

I corresponded with him through email a number of times. Was always knowledgeable and understood exactly what I was asking for. I'm sorry I never went through with an order with him I started 6 months ago.

Photoss

Niiiiiiiiiiccccceeeee! I'm excited!

Photoss

I always wondered too, until I saw LC in theaters last year, and low and behold there was the gear! (Amazing how much more you see on the big screen.) The holster looks almost black.

Photoss

Nice hero Thuggee! Are the pockets kind of high or is it just me?

My favourite tutorial is this one by Penman Hats:

If you don't mind the lighter Raiders tan, a Caicedo is a terrific real budget whip. They run $260 for an 8ft, and $300 for a 10ft. I love mine, and it cracks real nice. It's not a kangaroo, but it's 1/3 of the price!

This is the exact same reply Drew gave me a year ago (last reply, March 15, 2016), so hopefully seeing others chime in will REALLY make him take this up with the company president of G&B, like he promised he would do LAST year. #-o [-o< Well that's kind of depressing! I just wore my goat G&...

Love the picture of the jacket and grail diary! It really shows how close Wested's Authentic Lamb is to the leather on the original LC jacket. Now if only Wested wouldn't mess with requests... Thanks again for the link.

Check out my thread here for the current LC options. Though long story short, S&J is definitely the way to go.

Make It Jones definitely does great work, but I have to recommend Brian Lalonde's company Screen Capped Leather. He does a fantastic job making screen accurate gear, AND will distress it for you! Haven't seen any vendors distressing job come close yet. You can check out my review of both the LC and ...

After two custom Wested's and another one second hand I can say they are great jackets. After one Steele & Jones jacket...I do not have the need to buy or wear another jacket. It fits perfect. Diego will do above and beyond to make sure the jacket you buy from them is going to fit to your stand...

Now that's a real-world SA Raiders jacket! Looks perfect to the Peruvian Temple scenes. Looking forward to seeing it on you.

Photoss

Perfect!

Congratz on getting THE jacket!

I've owned a lot of Indy jackets, from every maker except Nowak. Just to echo what's above, all my US Wings I've either resold or sent back, and Wested jackets have been hit and miss for me (though I've kept them). You absolutely cannot go wrong with Steele & Jones, they will make you exactly wh...

Shame it's on-hold; if they can pull it off well, it'll bring in a lot of business. I know I was hoping to order a LC Hero in HH and take advantage of the drop in the £. You can get a custom for $242 right now! (Spotty work with requests are keeping me from going that route right now, something that...
