Did you get your hat? I placed an order in December and after a lot of good discussion about sizing and material, have not heard from them since. Not sure if they are not getting my emails or I'm not getting theirs. I'm a month or so past the anticipated delivery time. Please, let me know your orde...

The #179 means the 179th jacket made… (Diego will have to confirm if that’s overall or just Raiders “Cazadora ‘36” jackets). Exactly. Overall. Our order numbers are consecutive. It doesn't matter the jacket style. Assigned in chronological order to the date of deposit. # 179 Ordered: Dec 28, 2018 J...

In their commitment to screen accuracy, I've had trouble with the linings in my jackets as well to the point that I can't use the internal pocket. Even given that, I recommend them above every jacket manufacturer I've owned. I've owned Gibson & Barnes, Wested and US Wings and Steele and Jones i...

Indiego Jones

Agreed. I have owned more Indy jackets from so many vendors that I just can’t keep track of how many. I think it was about 2 years ago I purchased a Steele & Jones Last Crusade jacket. Diego just nailed it! Finally- a jacket that nailed the look that I wanted a fit me like a dream. The only iss...

Happy Sunday Indy fans. I've done a lot of looking at this website but not much posting, so I wanted to contribute a little to the community. I have always wanted a great Indy jacket and I looked and looked and read reviews and did a lot of watching for what all of the makers manufactured and decid...

Good eye!
Our '36 and '69 patterns are pretty similar.
I'd say like 90% close.

Great photos!
Thanks for the kind review.

Thank you so much for all the kind words!

Velahrn, you look great in that jacket.

PS: in the CAIRO BAZAAR https://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=73832 there's an amazing Raiders jacket in this very same leather, for sale.
brand new. Size 40. Cheers.-

Hi Johnny,
Thank you so much for your amazing and detailed review.
Certainly, with time and wear the new jacket will mold to your body shape and it will fit even better.
We wish you many years of joy and adventure!
All the best,
Diego.-

Indiego Jones

Wow, that looks almost perfect for a Raiders. That's the nature of teacore; that top coat acts more like a lens for the brown underneath than it does a cover. Very cool. Are you planning on stocking more, Diego? Are you hiding any other leathers up you sleeve? We have in stock this "Blackstone...

Hi Drew,
Thank you for this review and pictures.
Wow...in the pics looks like a deep dark brown.
Happened also to me, when I took the pictures.
Hard to catch the black color. Perhaps sunlight pics will show.

ENJOY IT!

Hi guys,

Just to inform waiting time, for anyone ordering a jacket these days, according to our current schedule.

Steele & Jones

SIZING AND MEASUREMENTS PROCESS = January, 23rd (approx.)
JACKET COMPLETION = Febraury, 27th (approx.)

Indiego Jones

Hi are they something you’d sell separately? No. We don't sell buckles separately. I'm sorry we can't help you on that matter. Also it’s driving me nuts as I can’t get conclusive search results. Did Last Crusade have cotton or satin lining? Original LC jacket at Smithsonian Museum have 100% polyest...

Indiego Jones

How does Fiocchi factor in? Are they accurate buckles? Does anyone have a source to buy extra black strap buckles, preferably SA but no biggie if not. Thanks FIOCCHI snaps are on Last Crusade original jackets. NOT on Raiders ones. We offer 2-prongs rectangular black buckles for our Raiders in accur...

Indiego Jones

Agreed, but mixed feelings as well. We dealt with Mr. Swales directly for many years, and the prevailing opinion at the time was the Indy fan was a member of the unwashed masses who were taking up his valuable time. Don’t misunderstand, he was a nice man, but he could be AC/DC at times, and some da...

Indiego Jones

Nice text.
Lots of real facts we've learned over the years.
A pity they have omitted to mention Mr Swales.
Thanks Canyon for sharing!

I've never posted here before but I couldn't resist showing of my new Raiders jacket. It's a Cazadora '36 hero in lightly distressed chocolate cowhide, size 40. The leather is soft, and for all the fit idiosyncrasies of the screen-accurate Raiders cut I think it works surprisingly well as a modern ...

Indiego Jones

There are several details to take into account, when setting size and measurements First, what we have as starting point, is Harrison Ford size jacket. On every style. From that, we have to increase or decrease the sizing, of course, proportionally. Chest size, weight and height, are the most import...

ahem....

We had many orders that were particularly difficult to set sizing....maybe yours was a bit hard, nothing serious....

Indiego Jones

Thanks guys! I didn't know Diego offered cloth samples for fittings. Might have to keep an eye out for that. I did however request medium distressing, with room for my to put my own unique touches on it. Since last year, we have a new service. The MOCK-UP jacket. It's a tryout jacket. For USD 65.-(...

This may not be the place to ask this question but is there much difference on the fit between the LC jacket and the Hawaii Raiders version. I know the LC has a clasp or button at the top of the zipper, wider collar, and D rings with the straps, but is the fit much different ? Thanks Cabe 8) Raider...

Indiego Jones

Hi! As KramStaar said (thanks mate), the horsehide is the most resistant skins. Fibers are closer and tougher. We still have the THIN version (0.7 mm thick) Makes a lightweight jacket, that will last decades. Good for Raiders and ToD styles. But for better water resistant, we also recommend our new ...

Indiego Jones

Diego I’m so happy to hear that. I must have missed it. You two are a force to reckon with. Keep up the great work and look forward to more awesome pictures of the two of you work/art. And you are always welcome, my words are from the heart (awwwww) you make a beautiful jacket. Now if you can only ...

Thanks Croft!!! Diego’s work is spot on, what surprises me is this is just a part time job for him. As on our updated site: "We are Roberto and Diego, friends and fans of Dr. Jones, who in 2008 started this as a hobby, just for fun and now, after some years, we’ve perfected our craft and it has...

Indiego Jones

Thank you so much for your kind words.

We (S&J) love Tony, and what he did for all of the fans. Gone too soon.
Our CAZADORA '57 is a humble homage to Tony Nowak's work for the movie KOTCS.

I am certain the truck jacket is the imam jacket. I will make a thread regarding it soon. We had confirmation from Brandon Alinger(Propstore), who have the TRUCK HERO jacket in possession, that it isn't the same jacket as the IMAM'S HOUSE scene. That's a different jacket. The why or how of this con...

Indiego Jones

It was mentioned when we introduced the TRUCK HERO style.

Right in the sequence when Indy gets shot, the MAIN HERO changes to the TRUCK HERO.

It was an email a while back, but I appreciate your response! I may still check out one of your Indy hats as I really liked what I saw for the raiders options on your Facebook.

I reached out to Steele and Jones for a hat but they never got back to me so I could only do a review on these three. I wanted one of their SoC hats for sure though. Hi, I've just read this. You got no reply from us? Very strange. First, we apologize for this inconvenience. We don't know what happe...

Indiego Jones

I can only echo what everyone else has said. Gorgeous, gorgeous jacket! I've had my eye on the '38 for awhile now. Going to be a difficult decision between that and the Wested Legacy. I recommend an S&J, it is very well made, the leather is soft and firm, the finishes and details are fantastic,...

LC jacket

Plus:
* underarm gussets
* elastic on back panel
* leather facings
* 2 inside lining pockets (right one with zipper)
* front pockets positioning "corrected" with center of the jacket

I'll post pictures of the first jacket in the new cowhide in about 15 days.
Is a "very" customized LC jacket.

Well, this new cowhide is no "rasposo" at all :D A nice soft finish, very pliable, and it drapes amazingly. Deep chocolate color with warm light brown undertones. And offers the durability and strenght known on cowhide skins. In comparison, our Horsehide (in standard thickness) was a littl...

Kokopelli wrote:Indiego Jones, can you show some pictures of the Cowhide for the CS jacket? What kind of Cowhide- pre-distressed or ‘normal’ skin?

We made no jacket in the new cowhide, yet.
Not predistressed. I make the accurate distressing job by hand.
CS pictures on website are are horsehide.

And you did a fantastic job on the distressing.

Hi Kokopelli, Many differences between LC and CS. Some I can name, without getting too technical about patterning: * Front pockets shape and position * Leather facings on CS, not on LC * Lining material * Different zipper * Different snaps (type and color) Patterns: very different. CS is a "mor...
