I love Hans Jacket....I really do....but I like the real distressing....but then again this post isn't about that is it 8) Well the way I see it, if you want a true LC jacket, then you should be getting one that doesn't have "real distressing", considering that the actual LC jackets were ...

I agree that some stunt shirts were light ....and there are man variations But here's what I am talking about Look at the thickness here http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq322/stuartdammery/SHIRT%20DETAILS/Picture2.png and here http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq322/stuartdammery/SHIRT%20DETAILS...

Indiana Citroen

Simple...nobody is making it thick enough :( Back when I was a teenager and had seen Raiders for the 5th time, I 'nicked one of my fathers oldest keepsakes, his old cadet shirt. It was a perfect match to a real Indy shirt...bar the front pleats. That sucker was thick...twice a Todds, twice more than...

I don't have any experience with goat....but with my lamb....I did as explained above. Wet it, but don't soak it....damp is good. Scrunch it up and leave it under the matress for the night. When using this method two things are important..... 1. Watch out for the back.....the pleats get distressed a...

after a bit more, I think I'll leave it or now...
here's a good tip, use a brush after applying leather dressing.....soften the leather and tones down the look

what do you mean pieces of leather? you are talking about the soles, right? I thought the soles were neoprene? thanx!!! Charlie Yeah, it was the soles the cobbler was talking about.

I spoke to Gemma this week about my special order and she said 3-4 weeks. It is worth calling if you really want to know more...I was seeing if my requests had been recieved....and YEP....

I think its completely fair to wait a month!

Indiana Citroen

I am also a heel coming apart guy....they are only a month old and worn 5 times.

I am not out to get todds....but is a little dissapointing.

Well despite all the SA or not talk....here's my jacket 80% done. Just taking it slowly, but really loving the way it's coming along. Love your thoughts....(well nice ones). here are some pics Straight out of the box http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq322/stuartdammery/distressing%20a%20Wested/Pic...

Indiana Citroen

GO WESTED...they had recieved my emails...and there's a 3-4 week wait...oh and my requests (made from this post) are fine.

IC

(and calling was a simple, yet effective way to confirm

)

Indiana Citroen

no no no....I DO HAVE THE ORDER CONFIRMATION! It's that I sent my "Special Requests" 2 minutes later via email....and I want confirmation that they have been recieved. I am prepared for the construction wait....just want to know that I will be getting what I want. :P I need to point out to...

Indiana Citroen

Ordered a week ago, and sent special requests along in a seperate email....

no response?

Last time I ordered an off the rack it was here in a week.

Is this standard wait time for a special order?????????????????????????

Indiana Citroen

I love mine, and will order a slightly larger pair too, for the CS look.
I cannot fault them, and I'm starting to get more picky than when I ordered them first time

Indiana Citroen

well the order is in.

I am yet to hear back about the order (which is FINE) to confirm all is well.

I guess I'll be happy with a reasonably SA jacket...I don't need 100% ......99 would be good though

Will keep you all informed of the progress.

these are pics of my LC?CS wested under going LC distressing.....SLOWLY

Indiana Citroen

did you know they wanted HF to wear a hat in Blade Runner to keep with the 40s detective theme, but he said that he just got off a film where he wore one all the time and refused

As for a man crush..... $\:D/$

Indiana Citroen

mmmmm....what were you planning on?

Indiana Citroen

with all the jacket pics on at the moment....I was just thinking of where Indy met the "other" adventurer in the beginning of Last Crusade...Isn't that the original influence??

Indiana Citroen

what's an iron?

left to dry on the line too

Indiana Citroen

Indy went with the longer jacket style at the back ( and other differences )

...because of the guy on the train?

Indiana Citroen

the advertise the jacket as a LC/CS....

Indiana Citroen

As promised PICS

http://s460.photobucket.com/albums/qq32 ... ry/Shirts/

Still very overcast so the pics only show the lengths and details...but the colour sees about the same close up.

My opinion...for the money Todds is a great buy!

Enjoy

After seeing the TN jacket I thought it best to update on my jacket. I decided a few weeks ago that I would get a CS jacket in Novapelle....so set to work making this jacket exclusively Last Crusade. So here it is.... http://s460.photobucket.com/albums/qq322/stuartdammery/Wested%20LC%20Lamb/ Not wit...

Please feel free to use my pics in this thread...and if you want more detail please ask. As shown it's in good condition and I can't wait to add a strap. It will be my "hero" piece http://s460.photobucket.com/albums/qq322/stuartdammery/MARK%20VI%20Bag/ IC (stuart) I suppose it is a UK bag ...

Indiana Citroen

love it

happy with my Jacka, but I'm a floosy when it comes to gear

Indiana Citroen

Saw this on ebay last week and thought...why not...was cheap and honestly distressed by time. But it has some quirks....most noteable....a pocket on the back as well! I have a new strap coming as mine is too short on my other bag, and will add it to this bag. Lots of pics here..... http://s460.photo...

Indiana Citroen

Raining here in Old Sydney Town...so not much chance to do the photographs....promise to do it though! So my opinions after a few wears. The XL is XL.... Bit long on the old arms, but as it's certainly longer at the back I do not mind. USELESS WITHOUT PICS...YES....but The colour really settles down...

Indiana Citroen

excellent question

I bought a Leather Pea Coat here in Australia 3 years ago, not SA, but really close. @#$% Leather, but has aged well, and should get more wear than it does.
