Really illustrates how much an integral part of the Last Crusade jacket the distressing is.

I agree nick I personally wouldn't order my hat 'dirty' but some people seem to want a hat matching a certain scene or look. That's not bad in itself, just not for everyone. While I respect DR Ulloa for not mentioning specific hat makers he does infer specific hats, and it would be nice to be on the...

RCSignals

I see. so it's 'not that old', but has 'had a long life'.

It's really looking great and will probably last you a lifetime.

RCSignals

Great work John, looks fantastic.

Beaverlid how old is it?

RCSignals

You obviously have some specific hats in mind. Could you point out which ones you see as "awful looking hats covered in dirt" so we can all be on the same reference point?

RCSignals

Actually the 'Ford size' jacket sizing is about the same for all the movies. His jacket requirement measurements don't seem to have change much over time.

RCSignals

The leather is hand aged and prepared. No two jackets will be alike in that regard

RCSignals

You did get them for a bargain at that price. They look t be in fine shape, and are fine white leather, not cotton. They are also used for top end civilian formal dress. Such gloves are rare and on eBay when such appear often sell at a price much higher than what you paid. That said, once again they...

RCSignals

Those gloves have more value as they are, white military dress leather gloves.
But you own them so do what you want, or buy some work gloves.

RCSignals

you may have to go to a place that does 'tarp and awning' or upholstery work
The heaviest tread most fabric stores usually have is 'button' thread, which may be OK for your bag.

RCSignals

yes, 58,59,60, we aren't talking inches there

RCSignals

a lot of speculation over the zipper pull. I'm sure Neil Cooper must know the answer.

RCSignals

backstagejack even if you casually cross your arms a jacket will naturally tighten some across the back, question is how much it does it.
If your jacket is a large you may be in luck as Sarge is having some Large Regulars made with longer sleeves.

RCSignals

backstagejack can you post photos of you wearing it? People often try to judge fit by crossing their arms in front in a manner that is 'extreme'. This is not a normal method for judging fit, and it's an unnatural action. How does the back feel in a normal pose with your hands at your side? How long ...

Holt previously posted this

the collar is one of the best Last crusade collars I have seen to date. the tip is 3.5''

the collarstand is 1.5'' and guess what! it curls exactly like it does on film! this is it! FINALLY! St. Dumas would love this feature.

RCSignals

Dawg made it

RCSignals

thanks Sarge

Will the jackets with the longer arms be in all sizes or just Large?

RCSignals

for 2000 - 2001 Biltmore had a great 'millenium collection' of historic and iconic style hats.

I understand they are a shadow of what they once were. Sad.

RCSignals

Well pull up a seat, man.... Regards! Indydawg Okay IndyDawg while we are here I guess I best tell you the rest of the story... I have been making a G-1 Jacket for the US Navy and USMC plus the USCG this Jacket is for the 100th Year in Navy Aviation.. We will release this Jacket this week end.. HF ...

RCSignals

Yes, that was kind of the point I tried to make but wanted to make sure these hides will only be used for the special edition jackets. The current sizing chart posted won't apply.

RCSignals

Was there sizing information for these Raiders jackets yet?
I think those hides will be used for the 100% screen accurate jackets, or is that incorrect?

RCSignals

LJ are you in Canada? I seem to remember you are.
If you bought that in Canada it was probably made by Biltmore, and labeled Stetson.
The two companies were closely related for some time, and Biltmore made pretty much all the ' Stetson's ' sold in Canada.

RCSignals

................. I rest my case. take care ya'll. Im done :TOH: yeah you know what. thats it bink. they probably made the ''yellow'' zipper color like they made the lightsaber effects in Start wars. just having that ''color'' effect laying on top of the zipper all the time. lol.

the zipper was brass. dont you all think that it would take more then just a few days, weeks even months after they got the new jackets to develop that ''yellowish'' look on the zipper you all are talking about? does it not develop over time because of the elements, stress and use? this makes me sm...

RCSignals

Kentucky blues, I understand what you are saying, but that is the position the 'Hero' fills, a great streetable-functional jacket for the multitudes.

The Neil Cooper/USWings cooperative 4 movie jackets are to be as Sarge says, 100% accurate. Not adjusted as you imagine, except for varying sizes.

Anyway....thanks, again, for the compliments, all! But I think the jacket is the real star here!

High Regards!
Indydawg

well yeah, lets not get carried away with the 'star' thing

but your photos especially these last ones should go up on the Wings site for the jacket.

RCSignals

Well _ if you are getting your suits tailor made you shouldn't have a problem.
Tailor made suits beat OTR suits for fit everytime anyway even though some OTR can cost just as much more.

RCSignals

Maybe Michaelson, but using that thinking, Peter also likes sewn hems, and the LC does not have a sewn hem

don't forget there is also a swing set in the yard!

RCSignals

Correct Han. Nickel will develop a yellowish hue especially over time. In those screen shots the zipper looks yellowish but could easily be nickel. If it were Bronze it would be darker. That's not to say the actual jacket had a nickel zipper, just that by the screen shots shown it could very well be.

RCSignals

And....a few more taken this morning in a little different light...man, I can't get over this jacket! http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll59/Wolf-Dawg/US%20Wings%20Lightweight%20New%20Zealand%20Lamb%20Hero%20III/IMG_4835.jpg And here's the rest... http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll59/Wolf-Dawg/...

Sarge should use some of those new shots.

RCSignals

Great review Dawg.

RCSignals

Depends who Holt meant.......Jimmy Olsen?

RCSignals

That jacket has some grain but it is the 'less grain' 'smoother type' Tony sourced after all the 'complaints'. Hide from a different breed of sheep, not so much of the blocky/scaly grain, more of the 'puckered wet fingertip' and 'bump' grain. So not the same grain as the Hawaii jacket. Ironically af...

I think he's just trying to explain the wire in Akubra's saying an Aussie is less likely to buck tradition and just stick with what they see as 'good old wire in a hat sweat' than go with new fangled modern plastic filament.

I know on Barbour etc wax jackets it tends not to, just wondering about this.

[That's a horrible example of a Half-Windsor. Whoever tied it took a wrong turn.
