Really, it's a right of passage and you just have to go through it. When you first go out wearing a fedora (or when I did anyway), you feel very self-conscious. And yes, you'll get the remarks (especially from those that know you) and the looks from strangers. But, if you'll just keep wearing it, it...

Neil and I talking about that in detail Neil and I made the decision that He and and I will not have any outside advice.We will offer all Four Jackets as close to spec as Neil Cooper and US Wings Inc. can make.. again spec quality and price is the bottom line Not that you need my "blessing&quo...

I agree. Great looking jacket. Very nicely done.

crismans

i've read the backstory, just curious if anybody else had a preference for the calf or lamb. Understood. And, just to clarify on my end, I don't think there's a big question on hides as used in the movie as a whole, just for one jacket in particular. ;) Those question aside, I think Sarge is dead o...

crismans

any thoughts on calf vs lamb for the Raiders?

I don't think you know what a can of worms is there, my friend.

crismans

Very nice! Despite my love for the Indy jacket, I think the Surrogates jacket is Tony's finest work. From what I hear, he shared that opinion.

Nice.

I'm really excited to see the final results of these Indy jackets. It'll be great to get a 100% standard screen-accurate hero Indy jacket from each of the movies w/out having to request those features; regardless of whom the vendor may be. I sent Myke an email to be placed on the list for the Templ...

Choice of both as I understand it.

crismans

Both hats look great (thanks for this side by side)! The AB has really worn well and you can tell it's a much travelled, much loved hat. YJ's hat looks great and like it's ready to handle adventures for the years to come.

crismans

I think you'll like it and, yeah, the shipping usually doesn't take that long at all.

crismans

Beautiful work, YJ!

And like KramStaar, I can feel the excitement just radiating off Ms. Yojimbo! She seems as interested in this stuff as my Mrs.

crismans

Sarge has stated that these jackets are to be 100%, cut and dried and stitch for stich, made to the same patterns Neil Cooper used for the movie jackets (I'm thinking Raiders and Temple here) without ANY outside influence. EVERY dealing I have had with Sarge has shown his honesty and integrity so I ...

crismans

Little late with this, Weston, but you're jacket looks really great on you. The antique cow is a really special jacket.

crismans

It falls between a Todd's and the Nowak CS (or the Wings CE--same leather) if you held any of those for comparison. It's light for a cowhide.

crismans

It looks really, really nice Vaderbreath. You've taken the cake in my book for modeling this jacket.

crismans

they may be alittle too big for a raiders screen accurate jacket but not by much. the sleeves are being adjusted to fit the screen one.

I think I understand what you're saying here, but do you care to clarify it for me, just so I'm sure?

This is one of the unwritten, yet irrefutable, laws of jacket buying.

Been there MANY times, my friend!

crismans

I know when things turn into this level of discussion, I have more important things to do then to sit here overanalyzing some zipper made on a jacket so many years ago... it all turns very geeky.

Pot...meet kettle.

crismans

And just to make another point, my Nowak TN-1 is a "carbon copy" taken directly from that jacket in question, reproducing all the flaws and faults of the original, the only "difference" being that I had it made in my size. There were no other "alterations." I still com...

crismans

Very nice jacket, Orb. I really like the (a little) more subtle but distinctive LC weathering!

Your grandkids should be enjoying this jacket.

crismans

Sarge, if you can get 100% screen accurate jackets (especially licensed and with Cooper getting his 50% [fair share]) out the door for $295? This will be vastly more than fair and you would have even more of my admiration. Of course, you would have revealed your secret identity as a wizard to the wo...

In the corner of my "man cave", there is an office chair. On that office chair is a pretty large pile of leather jackets.

crismans

Edited because I read something wrong and my response, thus, makes no sense!

crismans

I may sound like Crismans, but there is a reality in between that is closer to the truth.

There are certainly worse people to sound like!

crismans

The Standard isn't the most robust Indy jacket out there, but it is far from a costume jacket as well. I've had mine for several months now and went to it a lot as it is really good for fall/spring/mild winter days. It's held up well.

crismans

Congratulations Dan! That jacket looks like you went to Tony's shop and had him fit it for you. Terrific look.

That's right. The introductory price is for a year for us here. Extremely generous of the Sarge.

crismans

I'm really loving the color of that jacket.

crismans

Looking very good from what I see here. Can't wait to see some more pics!

crismans

Ah, I remember mine from back in the day. Thought it was the coolest thing on the planet when I got it.

crismans

Indy35: thank you! Chewbacca: You're absolutely right! Is very difficult to find the right matches, it depends so much by a lot of mixed factor.. just the same reason the same hat look completely different on different persons.. And Sean, yes it's from Magnoli, and is the Barnett College suit. I'm ...

crismans

Thank you for the picture! hmm.. looks fine to me, but it seems that it might distress very fast, doesn't it? I especcialy like the collour which comes through the surface. Would you rather call it a though or a soft jacket? It was distressed through the dark art of "on purpose" if I reme...

crismans

Let me add my condolences for your family, Sarge.

crismans

Very nice. I really think the LC screams out for that "seam" distressing to really complete the look. It's made this jacket look even better!

crismans

I definitely think it can carry the look. It's a darker brown which lends itself well into the "non-earth" tones section.

crismans

Congratulations Vaderbreath and Solent on your jackets! You've both got some keepers there!

crismans

Iamhomer, if you can just get your two companions to travel around with you, I guarantee people will be looking your way. Not at you but looking your way.

And yes, the jacket seems to be a nice fit.

Anyone know if horsehide is a option on the custom ROTLA jacket? According to the Wested website horsehide is listed as a option for the Raiders jacket and the Last crusade/Crystal skull jacket. I understand that heavy hides are not available for the Temple of Doom jacket because of the way it's co...

Based on your last post, I believe we are.

And Rundquist, I agree with your post as well. Again (and I'll try to shut up about this afterward), I hope the situation can be resolved quickly for both current customers and future ones.

crismans

I would try to talk (phone is best or via email if the phone isn't practical) to Peter directly. He would be able to give you the best advice.

The conformature pictured looks like it should be paired up with an iron maiden!

I have a size 50 chest and have had several Westeds. Fit was never a problem but CJ is completely correct that a little

I need to take the advise being given to me and just accept exactly what you say and move along...

Wested can make an excellent product, it's just a sporadic experience at times when you deal with them. Since you are close and can go to the shop directly, your chances of coming out satisfied would be much higher, I would think. I have to agree with the previous posters that, if you're still on th...

Nicely played, Sir!

I tried getting some head shots today...

Crismans - I'll leave you to continue making my point? I suppose. Although, in my ignorance, I must confess I don't understand how I'm doing that. :lol: But, I will gladly sheath the sabre and say, once again, that I truly love your jacket, Mitch. It's terrific and you wear it very well. I was genu...
