Great looking jacket. Couldn't tell you if it's completely SA but the pocket size and shape look perfect with that jacket.

Well done TN.

That is a cool looking jacket.

That's spot on.

Regardless of the keep/sell debate, thanks for the pictures and your candid opinion Whiskyman.

It does look great in the pictures.............

If anyone here is looking at picking up an A-2 repro, I would highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Good Wear Leather. It's a one-man operation up in Seattle. John Chapman is the owner/maker, and all of his jackets are directly based on original makers' patterns. http://www.goodwearleather.com Good Wear...

That's really nice.........color/cut..........

I emailed Tony about that very thing. I told him it wasn't because I was opposed to what he's using, I said I was simply looking for a cheaper option. He said he would know within a couple of days about different leather options. I will be sure to relay the info. ;-) Well done! I think we'd all be ...

Hatch,
Give us some idea of the fit/feel of the jacket.......does it 'feel Raders?'

Is it breaking in and how does it look like it might distress down the road?



Thanks

This thread is starting to beat a dead horse.

Well done on the macro photos!

Perfect color.....in a couple of years it'll really have some character.

I certainly can't critique the SA aspects of the Raiders TN. Either way, that's a nice jacket and I'm sure looks & feels fantastic. Thanks for sharing the pictures.........

Great looking pockets/flaps & collar BTW.

Wow........this is refreshing an old thread.

Yep.....Todd has the drape, color, and fit exactly like ROLA.

Looks good!

The change in the yolk height definitely improves the fit/drape qualities. I wish I could get one to fit like that.

By the way, did I say the color was spot on? Just about perfect IMHO.

Indy Strones has a good point......Does the invoice say 170 Pounds or Dollars? 170P would be the equivalent of $300 or so.

Nice jacket by the way!

Great jacket........looks like it fits perfectly.

Well done.

So that's what happened to the low numbers of Tony's jackets.......

Looks good.....Todd makes a great SA looking jacket.

That looks really good. Looks like a good fit, good length, good color.

Nice!

It's got a lot of the more popular A2 reproductions and their actual sizes. It's pretty good as a reference if you're looking to purchase one...........

Thanks for all the good information........ You never really hear much about Magnoli (probably because of the price) but everyone seems to agree the fit & construction are top rate and the result is worth the price. Thanks again.......I'm sure your experience and descriptive comparison will help...

Fantastic looking jacket........good color & great fit. So, how do the two Magnoli leathers compare.......the cowhide and the washed lamb? Different feel/drape? Colors? Difference in how they might age or distress. I've been considering a Magnoli Indy style in the dark brown cowhide but your lam...
