Yes I have to admit the US Wings are one of the best value for money jackets out there. But they never got their patterns quite right, sleeves too short especially. I've had three and had to sell them all due to the sleeve length. But if they fit you, you've found a winner.

With all the hype of Indy V around (and the jacket of course) I dug out my older Indy IV TNO jacket recently and have been wearing it non-stop. It's just perfect. Now that Tony is gone I don't think the TNO jackets get enough credit or light of day unfortunately. Mine's taken on a slight marbling ef...

CRB

Thanks for the kind comments. I've been wearing the jacket almost literally non-stop since it arrived last week and it is beginning to loosen up. This is just how horse is, it needs work :) Although I must stress that compared to "normal" thickness horsehide this stuff IS soft and IS thinn...

CRB

My LC "tank" jacket has arrived, in the regular horsehide ...

CRB

I’ve put my BK Holy Grail on eBay now, will see if I can list it in the classifieds here too

CRB

And here's my striated lambskin after (I think) about 5 years. Haven't actually worn it that much ...

CRB

Nah, mine's got nothing. But I bought it off a member here so he may have requested it not to be on originally ?

CRB

This is interesting, I didn't know they have numbers, where is the number - is it on the jacket ?

CRB

Yes, it was a terrible photo of mine, even worse to see it re-quoted a few more times ! It was the first time I wore it out on a long walk so took that photo. The backpack didn't help (and for the record the shirt is a thick overshirt by Matchless and not designed to be tucked in :) ). However, in c...

CRB

I do agree with you ! I chose the Venice lambskin as that was the one that was supposedly tailor made for the design and made to distress like the film. The shoulders feel too square on it though to really give it that screen accurate look, and quite frankly the leather feels no different than what ...

CRB

After a very long time wait, finally get to wear my Bill Kelso Holy Grail jacket out ...

CRB

Some measurements would be good. Is it an Indy I or Indy IV Nowak ? Nowaks are the best, I have two myself and still some of my favourite jackets.

CRB

Hopefully mine will be too. It's been 7 months ...

CRB

Looks great. I was hoping to have had mine by now - I'm a few days short of six months since the order. I hope it's worth the wait.

CRB

My Holy Grail is still in production. But when it arrives it's highly likely I'll let my Relic Hunter go. Will advertise here of course.

CRB

My Relic is number 22, but I've ordered a Grail today so will most likely be letting the Relic go when the Grail arrives

CRB

So would anyone order a 40 in the Last Crusade if they were happy with the 40 Relic ? What about sleeve adjustments or back adjustments - do they work out the same ?

CRB

Do you have the Relic and the Grail ? Is it wise to order the same size in each ?

CRB

Has no one received the Grail jacket yet ? Was looking forward to hearing about the leather and fit compared with the Relic Hunter

CRB

Awesome fit and look in that one, well done

Excited to see the Grail when it arrives ...

CRB

Anyone got the Grail yet ?

CRB

"Just when I think I'm out ... they pull me back in..."

May be selling my Relic striated lamb to get the Holy Grail.

What is the leather like in comparison Andy and if I wear a 40 Relic should I buy a 40 Grail ?

CRB

I personally think that with this type of item, being 40 years old, from an era when everything wasn't documented on the internet, that we could never know the true story now. Too many opinions, not enough facts. Anyhow, here's my photos from the exhibition. Deborah Nadoolman was stood behind me whe...

CRB

How funny, just popped across to see the items displayed at the IMAX and guess who was there also looking at the items ... Deborah Nadoolman ! She was talking to a couple that she didn't think that was the actual Raiders hat and that she had used an Australian hat in the end as HJ couldn't match the...

Hi,

Have posted the sales ad and measurements here:
viewtopic.php?f=40&t=69071" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

... bit confused which measurements you're after ?

CRB

After much debate, I have decided to sell my Horsehide Liberty Relic Hunter. It's size 40 and I'll put up some picture, measurements etc. in the classifieds soon enough. It's a tough jacket and I'm never going to get the time to wear it to make it break in more than I have done (which isn't much!)

CRB

Some shots of the thin cow Relic seeing as Photobucket held my previous photos to ransom

CRB

About the same as my lamb weight I'd say but tougher. I have a first run lamb that was heavier than the repeat runs.

CRB

I have a one off special made for me in thin brown cowhide. It's fantastic.

CRB

Surprising and sad news indeed. I wonder what the future holds for Wested now ?

CRB

My jacket is striated lamb too. Andy's already confirmed that the original batch was a tad heavier.

CRB

Is anyone able to weigh these new lamb jackets for me ? I may be tempted to et my 5th Relic Hunter My BK weighs 956grams. Compared to the Wested which is 1165grams there's just over 200 grams of difference but you notice it. Both size 38's. Thanks for that - My size 40 lamb weighs 1.2Kg but that wa...

CRB

Thanks, sorry meant the new BK ones

CRB

Is anyone able to weigh these new lamb jackets for me ? I may be tempted to et my 5th Relic Hunter

So I bought a Todds jacket years ago and didn't really warm to it (viewed it as more of a costume rather than something I'd wear out). Anyhow I gave it to my dad... who it turns out has worn it repeatedly for the last five years. Here's what it looks like now ... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...

CRB

FYI... I visited the American Classics store in London a few days ago and they have a size 40 relic hunter on the rack waited to get snatched up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I popped in for a look the other day - £800 ! For a Relic. And it wasn't horse hide. That's some cheek, they are only ...

CRB

Does this enlarges photo help ?

CRB

Saw it on display today in London, Waterloo

CRB

It's in the lobby of the imax cinema next door to the station

CRB

And I met the little fellow in real life today ...

CRB

CRB

Very interesting

CRB

They do have the real Indy 3 whip by the way too

CRB

Ok so it's not the regular one, but made me laugh anyhow !

CRB

But aren't they closed for the summer or was it in stock already ?

CRB

Starting to give this wear time and break it in ... noticed tonight the great patina that's starting to pop out ...

CRB

Well here's a great story. The jacket I have in these photos is the very same jacket sent back by Canasta to BK then bought by me once they did an amazing job in resizing it downwards to my size and to do a refresh treatment in the leather surface. It feels like a brand new Liberty HH jacket and boy...

CRB

1) 5
2) Kelso Relic in striated lamb (original run), Kelso Relic in thin cow, Kelso Relic in Liberty horse (on its way),Tony Nowak Indy IV, Belstaff Indy jacket
3) Belstaff Brad jacket in Antique Black

CRB

Is the jacket heavy ? Is it supple or stiff ?

CRB

Very intriguing, I can feel my 6th Bill Kelso order coming on ...
