Yeah, I must've looked at those pants for a full 5-minutes and they looked like a pair of Dockers, little to no texture at all...

Cassidy

I saw them too, and they look pretty close to the boots he's wearing in the full-on promo shot in the "Ultimate Guide" book.

Yep. And I've got three COA's from the early days to prove it.

I will say this new offering looks good on the surface and in spite of everything it's nice to have Wested as an option when dropping dough on "just a jacket."

Cassidy

Please see this thread http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=52266 if you're interested in a Bantu Wind jacket but have no means to attain one.

Cassidy

Mine just cleared customs yesterday, so I'm hopeful it will arrive this week. I will post it up once it's here. $\:D/$

Don't talk about Black Widow that way - she's a wonderful lady.

L - I'm sure it'll be close but I couldn't sit on the deal any longer...

Cassidy

I couldn't help myself and I ordered one of the 2nd's. It'll be my first Indiana Jones jacket since my late 90's Wested.

Problem is they only had the large available and I'm 6 foot even.

So if it doesn't fit it'll go up in the bazaar at cost but I can't wait to see it!

Cassidy

Dear Every Thread Ever Created About How Great Your Wested Is, It was a good run, but you've lost. Bow to your king and accept it gracefully. There will never be another Wested as legitimately awesome as tekors'. ____________ I'm glad you're ok man, that's a pretty hairy situation and it seems to be...

Cassidy

@KramStaar - that is a thing of beauty. I really like it and look forward to hopefully getting one some day. It looks incredible!

Cassidy

Wow, that last pic reminds me of the Temple jacket right after Indy whips Barranca for some reason...cool jacket.

Cassidy

First off, welcome and it's too bad that this is your first post.

Second, Wested is notorious for communication issues - not always their fault - so it's best to persist or try to call them on the phone.

Cassidy

...sigh...

I was contemplating not filling my order with all of the bad blood over the project, but darned if that isn't one of the greatest Indy jackets I've ever seen.

Not a big fan of the initial gloss, but over time I can see this being the pinnacle of Raiders jackets.

Thanks for sharing.

Cassidy

Only two, good Indiana Jones films...

No, no - I'm at work right now and just bought a fresh coffee. This could be good. Please, continue.

I worked at Wizards of the Coast in 1999 when irrational people were paying $3.35 for all the stupid Pokemon cards I could print and get on the shelves. Retailers were selling them for $20 a pack? These cards cost me $0.17 a pack - fully loaded - to make. I could sell all I made all day long. It wa...

Cassidy

This has been an interesting conversation so far, thanks mates.

Just turn the D rings inside out and bend them apart and chimey them out of the loop.

Thanks, Holt - figured that. What about installing the sliders? Where to purchase?

Cassidy

I'm notorious for flip-flopping on my ca. 1998 Wested Raiders. This week I currently love it. :lol: Some of the things I can overlook on it are the satin lining and pocket flaps but the D-rings really bother me for some reason. Do any vendors offer replacement sliders and how hard are they to swap o...

Cassidy

Great jackets... I enjoy my Todds that's now a little I've 4 years old. I've been Leary to sing her praises as my posts seem to be the kiss of death around here - and these are, to me, the sweet spot for the fan jacket. Fair price, strong accuracy, and my favorite weight in SA leather. He listens a...

Don't you mean until there's an unexplained UFO encounter followed up with a wedding?

Cassidy

I don't think it will even end per se - we've been through a roller coaster ride of a story over the years and it's taken a few ugly turns, but we're all in good company (ray of sunshine or otherwise) that have our best interests at heart.

Seriously.

Cassidy

Nice tag! My Cooper/Disney jacket from 1992/1993 had that exact tag. I carried it around in the jacket pocket until it perished in a wet, drunken escapade. I still have a t-shirt with the same art. Memories!

Cassidy

Sorry - can't help myself any time I get a chance to make a joke about that "elusive French Temple of Doom jacket." Not to derail the thread or anything.

Cassidy

Wasn't the zipper for the Last Crusade jacket made by a French company? It's on the internet so it's a fact. :twisted: Cassidy, Actually, I believe you are thinking about the ToD zippers. They were made by a French company out of adamantium. Unfortunately, Ford is allergic to adamantium, so the lef...

Cassidy

LOL. And here I am usually known for my attention to deta....HEY! Look, a squirrel!

Cassidy

Yes! Very good, M.

Something that looks like it came off of a movie set...any digital-artists want to take a stab at recreating something like that?

Cassidy

Were there any labels in the original Cooper Raiders jackets?

Even ones put in by LFL or Paramount or whatever?

Cassidy

Wasn't the zipper for the Last Crusade jacket made by a French company? It's on the internet so it's a fact.

Cassidy

...of course with Dear, old M. making the decision, I'm surprised no one has attempted to curry favour by using his mugg in the logo design.

Cassidy

Only 100? Man I'm glad I got my name in for a calfskin. The labels look great, guys. I'm a big fan of the text ones without being image heavy. Something with NC's signature would be nice too, but not like the Nowak jackets - those are great and all, but I'm just not a fan of a novel on the inside of...

I think that is why so many of us who have been long in this hobby are excited, Sarge.

as light as lambskin, but a lot tougher
Sounds like the perfect choice.

Any drawback explaining why calfskin never was offered by our vendors ?

jack

Not even sure if this was on anyone's radar until _'s thread regarding the Cooper jacket.

Cassidy

Sarge, I put my name on the list today and asked for a standard size (L) which I am ok with. Should I re-submit my numerical sizing with hide preference or would that be done at a later date? Thanks.

Cassidy

Great! Just emailed Myke & info@.

This is the first time I've been excited about a jacket in 15 years. Can't wait!

Cassidy

Thanks man - that is totally enlightening. I wonder if this is the same jacket that HF was wearing in the promo shots/cover of Premiere Magazine roundabout the time LC was released. That jacket didn't look like any lamb/cow I've ever seen...but I'm not an expert with opinions, just a fan. This is a ...

Nice looking jackets.

In due time, I'd like to know what Steve has to say about this particular hat.

How did you find your first Indy Jacket? I turned left at Greenland. :lol: Similar story to the others. Went on a family vacation to Florida roundabout 1990 and saw the Epic Stunt Spectacular at MGM Studios. I saw (I think, it could have been one of the 'bad' Indy jackets) the leather jacket, or so...

Cassidy

If you've ruled out every possibility that this is your fault then I say you're owed a new jacket from scratch. Don't listen to the "it's not that bad," crowd. When you're shelling out that much money for a jacket you should receive nothing short of complete customer satisfaction. Everyone...

Cassidy

Great jacket!

Also, I love seeing more of the 90's Westeds. The leather just does something that the newer ones don't...

Cassidy

...would that be consistent with a pocket on the inside?

No, no, no...in the original airing it was a gun, but ILM replaced it digitally with a walkie-talkie for the DVD release, at Spielberg's request.

You remind me a bit of the King of Queens in the last one - thanks for all the pics, the jacket looks absolutely stunning.

Makes me wish all my money wasn't going to the mortgage and student loans, I WANT a TN KotCS jacket.

What might be nice is if someone hosted this info off-site, so the hands are kept clean here but the info would be accessible were a new member to ask.
