Re: "Modern fit" Jacket

Thanks for all of the great suggestions! I really like Magnoli's work...it's a little out of my price range (for now). Wested is something I might consider for a thicker Last Crusade style jacket. But their ROLA standard is intriguing. (No offense to you, Indy Magnoli...your work is drool-worthy). R...

Drat, and I just noticed I got knocked back down to "Dig Worker". It's been a while since I've posted :-P

"Modern fit" Jacket

So, I like the look of the jacket. I like the utility of the pockets, and I like the fact that it looks like a flight jacket without that elastic waist (i.e. it hangs down around the waist). What I would like to see different is a version of the jacket without the shoulder droop (i.e. the shoulder s...

Re: The dilemma...

Alright... I'm a big believer in "try it before you buy it." Unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone here lives close to the metro Detroit area, so that throws that one out the window. :( HOWEVER... It seems like Todd's and US Wings 30th Anniversary lambskin are the two jackets that have...

Re: The dilemma...

BTW - how do I get access to the Bazaar? Some of the links I've found said I'm "not authorized", and I would really like to consider some of the things people are posting for sale...

Re: The dilemma...

Wow - looks like my "dilemma" has brought out the dilemma in all of us... I can really appreciate all the advice, even if people are trying to point me towards getting an Expedition...but I don't think I'm quite there yet. It looks like a cool jacket, and I appreciate what everyone is sayi...

Re: The dilemma...

Yeah, it's marked a 50R, but those measurements sure scream size 44, don't they? ;) Fantastic price ($100), but I wonder what shipping would be coming from South America. :-k Anyway, they come up all the time due to sizing issues for the original buyer, or the fact they prefer something they can fa...

Re: The dilemma...

Wow - so many responses in such a short amount of time...wish I could respond as quickly, but my job takes a lot out of me. To answer some questions: 1. Price: trying to keep it around $300. $500 is pushing it just a bit too far to me, especially since this is a belated gift someone is giving me. 2....

The dilemma...

Hi all - first time caller, long time listener... So, I've been boggling my mind for quite a while now on a jacket to purchase. It always seemed to me that Indy's was a good blend of form and function. After looking at ALL the styles/types/ways of ordering a jacket - I've come to a few decisions in ...
