This is very interesting.

I'm bothered with how fake everything looks in this still picture though. I love this movie...

Speaking of Magnoli White Label, just after I wrote on here I saw one for sale on facebook for $135. Nearly new. It might be your size and you don't have to wait...

Back: 24"
Sleeves: 24"
Pit-to-Pit: 22.25"
Bottom: 20.5"

It's probably just best to do what I did when I ordered a Magnoli White Label years ago, and measure another jacket that fits about the same as you want this jacket to fit. I know Steele & Jones sort of specialize in doing what you're talking about, taking your measurements and then putting it t...

Arch Stanton

I sure hope so. I appreciate this update. For the past year I was checking their site every day up until a few weeks ago.

Arch Stanton

I think this is a good image for measuring yourself if you want it to fit like the movie...

Regular Magnoli White Label. Version A. It's heavy cowhide, if you ask me...

Arch Stanton

I really want to say I love this jacket, I just don't love it as an "Indiana Jones" jacket. I'd say it's about 3 years old. It's more functional, I suppose. It's certainly the heaviest jacket I own. Even heavier than a knee-length thick wool overcoat I wear sometimes in the winter. It fits...

Do you know what the wait time is for these currently?

Arch Stanton

I don't see how Wested's Last Crusade jacket can be cow. I have the Legacy version, and it is by far and hands down the lightest Indy jacket I have.

EDIT: Oh! I missread your post. Yeah, KotCS is surely cow...

Arch Stanton

I can't believe it's been years that I've been considering a beaver Northwest hat. Why I never pulled the trigger long ago is really sad. Now I'm ust doing the thing where I measure my head like a dozen times over the next couple days to make sure of the fit.

That's why I'm bummed HJ's not doing beaver lids at the moment.

Arch Stanton

Interesting, do you know if the reverse taper was specifically requested by your friend? Every photo (official or not) I've seen of Ford's HJs in DoD looked to me like they were starting to do a normal taper, and not a reverse taper :-k Oh, it was for sure not requested. He bought a size 60 Destiny...

Arch Stanton

EDIT: Oops, double post...

Arch Stanton

Arch. Thanks for your input. Tell me why Cowhide is bad? First I will add that cow is thick, stiffer and doesn't drape as well as Lamb. but S & J offers a thin 0.9mm thin cowhide. Also I just sold an Indiana Jones Raiders Jacket that I believe to be cow and it was definitely thicker, heavier an...

Arch Stanton

I mentioned this is the other thread, but I will say it here. If you're going to go with Steele & Jones Cazadora '36, then save up longer, or invest more in the lambskin, which is $650 before shipping. The Wested Raiders Legacy in lambskin is about $325, before shipping. Cowhide is bad for scree...

Arch Stanton

See my other post the Cazadora 36 is $390 shipped to Texas and the Wested Legacy ToD is $340 + $ 40 shipping and maybe there are additional customs/duty fees??? If my figures are right then it comes down to Wested 6-8 weeks lukewarm customer service and Steele & Jones better cust serv but longe...

Arch Stanton

Thanks, everybody. Yeah, it came out that light. It truly is the dark brown Rit. The leather really soaks it up. Some spots I had to go over again after a couple days because it soaked it in so much. I didn't dilute it at all. Just kind of dab and lightly rub it in. Then whatever dye is still on the...

Arch Stanton

I have the Legacy Temple of Doom jacket, which has the same leather as the Raiders. I gave mine the water treatment and then weathered it with 2000 grit, and then rougher paper for the spots that are supposed to look more rough and a tiny bit "shredded", like on screen. It is a hideous gre...

Arch Stanton

And reverse taper from the side! Very Raiders-esque, if you ask me...

Arch Stanton

And the crown on screen seemed quite short and had a lot more taper than the one shown on the HJ site. This is a friend of mine's HJ Destiny hat. I think it has a wonderful slight REVERSE taper to it. He's the same hat size as me, so I hope mine will look the same when I get it. https://iili.io/HLG...

Arch Stanton

That's all so awesome, Michaelson. Yeah, I mentioned you on the facebook Indiana Jones Cosplay Group a while back when talking about the Fed IV's developement. I'm glad I got that part right. :D I don't know if I've ever posted pics of the "newer" Fed IV Deluxe I've had for about four year...

So in his little comparison chart, which one is "True-Sable"?

Is it Sable or Bright-Sable? I just ordered a True-Sable and am not sure if that is the way to go or not...

Arch Stanton

https://wested.com/en-us/products/the-indy-destiny-jacket It's on the page for the jacket if you scroll down. Just above the customer reviews. Thank you. I don't know how the heck I missed that all this time. I'm going to go with a size 38 then, which appears to measure 22 inches pit to pit, since ...

Arch Stanton

Looks great! How did you size it if I may ask. I am a 42" chest and usually buy size 42 from Wested (Raiders Hero, Legacy LC), but the reference size chart tends to suggest a size down on this one to a 40 based on the chest measurement, as a 24" chest for a size 42 is too large and roomy ...

Can you tell me what what your actual chest size and height is and what size specs your ordered for the jacket?

Arch Stanton

Am I safe in assuming that the shoulder seam isn't way the heck far down the shoulder as it is in the Raiders jacket? I'm trying to decide on sleeve length. I have an old Wested Raiders that has 25.5" sleeves and it's way too long and actually ended up folding them under for years before I had ...

Arch Stanton

I am so pleased this thread is here.

Two questions up front:

- Does your chest measure 36 with a measuring tape?

- How tall are you?

Arch Stanton

I have tried acetone on a magnoli jacket and it seemed to not do much at all, actually. It's sort of more good for blending in spots that look to be too distressed, or scrapes where I don't want them. I still find the best option to be the rough side of a dish sponge, and putting it on, taking a qui...

Arch Stanton

This is a cowboy curl on a carbon grey Fed IV. I didn't do it on purpose. I accidentally left it in the back of a friend's car for a couple weeks and it got baked. When I retrieved it there was a cowboy curl! But I actually think it looks neat.

Arch Stanton

I just now noticed that my White Label Magnoli Adventure Jacket has these straps sewn in there. I didn't know they were even there until I was fiddling around with it and felt them. I can't notice them when it's being worn. Since it's White Label then these must be standard for Magnoli jackets. That...

Arch Stanton

The pattern is the Version A. I believe this is what you were asking, nitzche.

Arch Stanton

Gorgeous leather. I am curious about the pattern. Why is the bottom edge both hemmed and topstitched? I actually don't know what that means. I looked it up, but am more confused. But whatever it is I did not notice. It is a very substantial jacket. Not a costume thing. Something I could wear anywhe...

Arch Stanton

Whoa!! That is fantastic!! That looks a lot more ‘browner’ than the last WL jackets I saw posted here- they looked closer to black in color than brown…I’d this a recent purchase? Yes. It is about 2 months old. I wear it a lot, though. Even wear it to bed per some people's advice. I was told that th...

Arch Stanton

I would go with Magnoli. They ask for a ridiculous amount of measurements(in a good way). The other places ask for chest, arm and back. Ill-fitting, if you ask me.

Arch Stanton

Arch Stanton

You seem to know a lot about that photo, Michaelson!

Tell us the truth, you used to have that poster on your wall, didn't you?

Arch Stanton

Is water even necessary? I'm sure if you wear it around the house for a week or so with the sleeves bunched up like Don Johnson then the wrinkles will probably work themselves in. Or am I way off the mark here?

Arch Stanton

How long have these been around? Does anyone have one?

I like it!

Arch Stanton

Didn't Joe Strain make them for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, though?

I like how his KOTCS ones look darker, so I was kind of leaning that way.

Now I don't know what to do...

Arch Stanton

I used to live in Arizona for a few years back in the day. I managed to learn some Spanish. I have not heard the word "rasposo" in about 20 revolutions around the Sun. I love this website.

I apologize if this is off-topic.

Arch Stanton

Yeah, Penman is actually the one I explicitly asked about it a while back. So maybe my frame of reference is askew due to that. I just find it odd that there is no open crown option on many sites. I'm just looking for the most squared away open crown and don't see it offered much of anywhere. Thank ...

Arch Stanton

I ordered one on May 10th, I think? It's not really jacket weather, so I am not really in a bind or anything. What I can say is that I traded emails with someone at Magnoli where I was pretty much having an existential crisis trying to find my correct measurements. I'm in a position now where even 3...

I believe they are "sold out", though. I see that now, so I am sort of relieved. I'm already having a hard time trying to decide if I order a "White Label" Magnoli Adventure jacket, or spend 300 bucks more just to have it in the color I REALLY want. It's hard for me to justify. ...
