I just ordered one like it off eBay. Only paid $80 for it. I'll post a review with pictures once it arrives.

Very nicely done.

No doubt about it, it's a very "Raiders" looking jacket!

Thumbs up!

My apologies, once I found out how to get the pics up on the thread I neglected to be mindful of quantity. I have reduced the total to 6 pictures.

Here's my Todd's standard XL bought on eBay about a year ago.

Thanks to Indiana Jeff for the specific intructions... the pics should appear now in the first post! Here are some additional shots of the jacket detail: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5147/5612382652_7bc29b0393.jpg FanClub details (6) by bargle65 , on Flickr http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5029/5612...

It's about time I posted some pics of this nice jacket I bought from IndyBlues in the bazzar about a year ago! It's also worth mentioning that the transaction went smoothly and I ended up with a very nice jacket, which is currently my favorite (I own this one and a Todd's standard XL). http://farm6....

I'll keep my eye on G&B for an option in the future, since I still have not found the "one" perfect jacket yet. Great information and extremely well documented!

I followed the washing machine method as well. I did this twice, first using medium brown and getting a sort of "pink" result. Not the least bit splotchy, just not quite the color I wanted. I tested a darker brown on a cotton jacket and it was just right, so I did the pants in that color a...

Has anyone had any experience dying cotton pants? I have been experimenting a bit but not yet got the color quite right. I will post some pics as soon as I can so you can let me know if I got it right.

Mine is also 24.5"

Nice Jacket! I have a similar jacket with the same sleeve issue. I purchased a "Fan Club" jacket here on Cow a few months back and I am very happy with it. I think mine is essentially the same as the Disney Jacket of that era. If I'm not mistaken it may have been a Cooper design but I'm no...

Anything to do with Indy is cool, IMHO. I had one of those hats too, and now my son wears it with his toy whip. It's all about admiration for a great (though fictional) hero.

Nice to see a deal gone good! I had seriously considered this jacket for myself, but what's really ironic is, without realizing it at first, I had actually tried it on when it was still in the hands of its original owner a couple of years ago...before he sold it to riothamus!! Small world huh!? Now ...

Impressive, most impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see that the way to go is with something more proven like Todd's or Wested.
I should have dug around for that previous thread before starting up a new one... but I'll learn.
Thanks again.

Has anyone had any dealings with this company or have any idea about their product?

According to Southbeach Leather's eBay auction this is a picture of the back of their jacket. This picture is only on eBay and apparently not on their website.
I suspect it is not really what they are selling. http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/1/2/7/ ... 2029_o.jpg

The Goatskin is for truckdragging! The titanium of leathers! :TOH: Thanks for the advice Raider 57. I was actually thinking today "I want a jacket that would withstand a good Indy style truck dragging" but alas my budget doesn't agree. However I will definitely keep it in mind for a down ...

I appreciate you sharing that and saving me the grief.

Bargle, You DO remember that US Wings Indy I sold at my garage sale a couple years ago for $100! ](*,) I think I do. Wasn't I standing there when the guy tried it on? I'd like to believe that it didn't fit me so I didn't want to buy it from you... but truthfully, I think I just didn't know what it ...

I'm new here as many of you know so I apologize for my limited knowledge on this subject. In my quest for an inexpensive jacket option I came across these guys. They sell online via their store (and on eBay). I'm wondering if anyone can offer an opinion on it. I've seen pics of the back and they app...
