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.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

I'm in.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Thank you for the link. It is much appreciated.

Been looking for a Browning Hi-Power pistol replica for cosplay use at comic book conventions.

Hope everyone didn't misconstrue my post as Bill Kelso Mfg Co WAS or IS going to produce versions of "Temple of Doom" and/or "Last Crusade" jackets. Actually meant to say that I WISH Bill Kelso Mfg Co WOULD produce those jackets.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Baldwyn, I share the same feelings concerning Bill Kelso Mfg Co jackets. Have a "Relic Hunter" in their version of the lamb touch cowhide. Beautiful jacket which has fulfilled my personal quest for THE "ROTLA" jacket. Now if they would only produce their versions of the "Tem...

No worries. Here is the link to their website if you haven't already conducted your search.

Hope the information helps.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Have you tried "Johnson Leather Corporation" on Polk Street in San Francisco? They did some custom alterations on my U.S. Wings New Zealand antique lambskin Indy styled jacket and, my IMHO, the work came out great.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Beautiful bullwhip!! :whip: I was hoping to purchase one myself in the very near future. It would be an unfortunate shame if Mr. Del Carpio did retire from producing bullwhips. :( Master craftsmen, such as himself, are few and far between. But, I completely understand his decision, and if he indeed ...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

In speechless awe!!!

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

"Tundrarider", Sorry for taking this thread "off topic" for a bit but, with that look on your face in the picture...remind me to NEVER get you mad at me. :Plymouth: Getting back "on topic", the "Expedition" is a well built jacket with quality craftsmanship. Bu...

COW member "CRB", thank you taking the time to inform us on your findings, along with the pictures of the antique lamb touch cowhide, at Wested Leather. It is greatly appreciated.

Also, glad to hear you survived the trip over there.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Thank you for the update, "CRB". Much appreciated.

And congrats on obtaining a Nowak "Raiders".

Enjoy. Looking forward towards the report of your findings on the hide.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "CRB", any information and updates concerning the Antique Lambtouch hide concerning your planned visit to Wested Leather last week?

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Thank you, sir, for the information. Much appreciated.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Your Gibson and Barnes 4 year old jacket is looking great.

IMHO, seems to have that nice, natural "worn" look. Thank you for sharing the picture.

BTW, what leather is your G&B?

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Just an FYI, I have been in recent contact with Gemma at Wested Leather. Concerning the soft seal brown goatskin availability for the "Hero" jacket along with any custom jacket, Gemma stated the goatskin is limited. Therefore, Wested cannot offer that leather for any custom jacket if you w...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Great pictures, Daren

Thank you for sharing.

Hope to join you gentlemen for the next session.
Keep crackin'.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Michael, thank you for your detailed review and sharing your pictures. Much appreciated as always. :TOH: And, once again, looking great in your gear. :notworthy: :clap: :tup: Not too long ago, I purchased a Gibson and Barnes Expedition 48R in Lambskin. Loved the quality of the jacket but, the jacket...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

VERY nice!

Thank you for sharing, sir.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "Gorak"
GREAT jacket, sir.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "generalFROSTY", Wise investment made, sir. Enough positive words cannot be said about Wade Egan's super whip holders. I have several of his super whip holders. Needless to say, worries about my bullwhip slipping out of place are non-existent. Highly recommend that product. :whip:

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

"Azuma"
Any update concerning the chances of the "Temple of Doom" and/or "Last Crusade" shirts in size xl or xxl?

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

"Mitch LaRue", looking great as always in your gear. You are one of the very few who can pull of the "look".

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

"Mitch LaRue" BEAUTIFUL jacket. :tup: :clap: \:D/ :notworthy: And, as always, you wear it well. :TOH: Mr. Riley Barrie and his staff....what can be said that already has not. :notworthy: :TOH: Recently received my Riley Barrie produce Tony Nowak Original "KOTCS" jacket, with some...

Very nice.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "DarenHenryW",

A unique bachelor party to say the least but, great stuff nonetheless.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Daren.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Beautiful jacket, Mr. Penman. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr, first let me say a sincere Congrats on your purchase... it looks to be a very nice hat that will simply get better and better the more it's worn. :) :tup: Second, deepest respect for your quick willingness to make sure the credit that's due goes to the source: Mr. Lee Kepple...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Again, thank you for all the advice and information, guys. Much appreciated. :TOH: Well, the jacket has already been returned. I contacted Gibson and Barnes concerning the in-stock availability of the next size down, which they did not have. The current turnaround time if I were to order the next si...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Careful you don't get so close in with the body that you start getting your gun, whip, and bag snagged on stuff...part of the reason for the bigger body on the Expo, I feel, is so you can layer under it better AND so the other gear doesn't get caught up in the jacket so much.. I would think that`s ...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

:M: :tup: Another thing that may feel 'odd' the first try is the elastic band between the lining and the back that keeps the action pleats closed. This is an old Navy design, and if you aren't aware it's in there, you think the fit across your shoulder blades is off. Just a thought. Regards! Michae...

Pictures of the Gibson and Barnes "Expedition" pockets from a jacket that was just purchased this past week. In case anyone is wondering, it is one inch from the bottom of the jacket to the bottom of the pockets. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/macayetano/Indiana%20Jones/IMG_0278.jpg...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr...wheres`s the Expo? Did it come in yet? Yes, the Expo arrived this past Monday afternoon. Quick review, it is a VERY nice jacket. Overall sturdy construction. Though the jacket is dark seal lambskin and is lightweight, it is a "substantial" lightweight jacket. But,...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

I'd really recommend this hat to anyone if they were looking for another one, just because. Or the new person getting into the idea of wearing one of these more than just for a costume, but not wanting to kill their wallet. Well put, sir. :TOH: Along with this Lee Keppler fedora, I have two Akubra ...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Cow member "Gorak", thank you sir.

BTW, my Gibson and Barnes lambskin Expedition should arrive this Monday.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Thank you COW member "Noah".

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Thank you, COW member "Raidersbash"

But, again, all the thanks go to Mr. Keppler.

To answer your question on pricing, I don't want to step on any toes so it would be best if you contact Mr. Keepler at the telephone number I provided.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "Tundrarider", thank you, sir. :TOH: Again, the thanks should go to Mr. Keppler. Mr. Keppler and I actually got together at the COW Palace (ironic) in Daly City, San Francisco at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show where he had a booth selling his various products for firearms a...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "Chewbacca Jones", thank you sir.

Actually, the thanks should go to Mr. Keppler.

COW legend "Michaelson",

Mr. Keppler always stated he was not a "self promoter". Just wanted to assist him in getting his name out there once more.

Thank you COW global moderator "BullWhipBorton" and COW member "Bernardodc" for the information and clearing up the situation. Much appreciated. :TOH: So I guess the reports of Mr. Jacka's retirement "have been greatly exaggerated". #-o But, as I have learned the hard w...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "Gorak", My many thanks goes to you, sir. :TOH: After seeing the pictures of your 8 year old lambskin Expedition and reading about how it has been "used and abused" but, still looking great.....it was a "no brainer". :) My thanks also go out to COW member &qu...

COW member "Gorak" Thank you for sharing pictures of your 8 year old "Expedition" jacket. Much appreciated. :TOH: All I have to say is... :shock: That is one great looking jacket. :tup: Can't believe that it is lambskin. And after 8 years of "use and abuse" and it looks...

BEAUTIFUL jacket, sir.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW member "Weston" thank you for the pictures and the information. Much appreciated. :TOH: And you take care of what you need to take care of sir. I am sure everyone here understands the situation. As for your quote "I am currently outnumbered by a party of one"....... :rolling:

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

Looking great as always in your gear, Michael. :TOH: :notworthy: COW member "DarenHenryW" actually suggested the WPG Indy shirt to me and, after purchasing one, needless to say, I am thankful for his suggestion and advice. Thanks, Daren. :TOH: As far as I am concerned, the color, fit, and ...

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

COW Member "Fox Harrison", thank you for sharing the pictures of your jacket.

That leather looks great. Seriously thinking of purchasing one myself.

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr

That jacket, so far, has always been my favorite "Indiana Jones" jacket that I have owned. Besides being my first "Indiana Jones" jacket, the fit, the construction, the leather, the pattern, and regardless it not being "screen accurate", I just love that jacket. Thankfu...
