Re: Spec help for my TN CS order

Digger4Glory, I bought a Nowak CS in 2008 right after the movie came out, so the jacket is now over 2 years old and aging very well. I'm also 5' 8" and went with the Ford specs since I wanted to be able to wear a sweater under it in the winter. I only asked Tony to shorten the sleeves to 24&quo...

Re: Nowak Jacket Owners Thread

Orb, The Mutt inspired greasers look totally suits you dude! Being a metalhead, I totally dig that style. I still own a perfecto that is over 20 years old now, and I still wear it on occasion, especially when I go to concerts. I just wish I had some extra cash to burn on Tony's version. =P~ I notice...

Re: All Nowak styles with gear

Han Jones,

Incredible gear, it's honestly hard to decide which one looks best because every outfit looks so genuine.
although, I couldn't help noticing the tie on the LC outfit looks too long and out of scale... ;)

Re: How heavy "hot" is Tony Noway CS jacket?

I would venture to say it's the ideal jacket to wear between 30 (with a sweater underneath) and 70 Fahrenheit. it's not a very heavy cowhide and the lining is very thin but very strong, and has some windbreaking qualities. It surprisingly feels much lighter than my cowhide perfecto. Oops, I forgot t...

Re: Nowak Jacket Owners Thread

Thanks for the heads-up Orb, Image

Did Tony say what size Sia is? I'm assuming size 40 or even 38.
If you get the chance, please post an updated picture once you get your pair of 501 55 LVC

Cheers,

Very nice Nowak collection you got goin' on here, are you competing with Castor and Indiana G? ;)

I need to ask you this, what's the back length on your Mutt jacket and how much was it?

Re: Question about the "shine" on TN CS jacket

It's all about lighting, I tend to think that my TN CS looks a bit too light and matt in real life... but when I look at actual pics taken outside using natural light, it does look darker and a little shiny. Just a little bump in contrast in post-production would explain why we see a darker and shin...

Orb, your jacket looks great! As far as the sleeves are concerned, after you've been in the rain a few times they will ride up about 3/4 of an inch. I just re-measured my TN jacket and the whole jacket has shrunk a good 1/2 an inch all around from when I received it back in June. pit to pit measurem...

Hey Orb, I usually wear size 40 jackets, but I went for the Nowak CS size 44 in HF measurements except for the sleeves which I ask Tony to reduce from 26" to 24". I'm 5' 8" and 150 pounds and the jacket is roomy enough to wear a sweater under it, although in that pic I'm just wearing ...
