My best fitting jacket right now, is alittle loose when i wear just a shirt, when I wear a sweater underneath its a bit tight but comfortable. I'm 28 now so hopefully ill put on some weight in a few years, but I'm the kinda person who can eat all I want when I want and never gain a pound so. This ja...

Ok here's the deal. I wear a size 36 jacket, the measurements for my best fitting jacket are Full shoulder 18" Chest across 20" Bottom across 18" Back length 25" Sleeve length 24.5 to 25" I'm thinking about buying a jacket second hand from a guy here, it's a size 38 His meas...

I was wondering if anyone knew, I was thinking about getting ANOTHER jacket , I would really like to get another LC in the shrunken lamb, I emailed Gemma about it, she said no. But I know Peter usually gives the ok. However I haven't been able to reach him personally to ask. So, has anyone here mana...

dresden

There's gotta be at least a few specs we can all agree on, the basic specs?

dresden

Isn't the motorcycle jacket the same one as the Castle jacket?

I really like the collar on your jacket, looks great!

dresden

Oh by the way, has anyone seen a Nowak LC on eBay in a size 36? I've been searching for awhile but no luck. I would love to own a TNO. But I've never seen one in a 36.

dresden

My contribution: three wested LC's. well two LC/CS jackets and one LC attempt by me. I went with a light last crusade style distressing for my latest jacket, the LC style distressing looks the coolest to me at least. When I took the sand paper to it, there was an ugly grayish color, so I used some b...

dresden

Totally agree with you tex, the NP & PD cowhides do make a good looking LC, unfortunately my PD jacket is about 1-1 1/2 inches to short.

dresden

Thanks KT! I'm a little OCD about my jackets, especially the LC version, I've been try to get a very close version to the film jacket or at least a good facsimile. It's like an itch I can't scratch. But this jacket is definitely my go to jacket.

dresden

I got this jacket last October, but didn't wear it much in the beginning, I was wear mostly my wested pre-distressed cowhide for the winter months. This is a LC/CS jacket in very thick lambskin. I made a few requests like no hem stitch, no top stitch on the back sleeves, a wider collar stand and a f...

dresden

KT nice jacket, looks great! I've really been thinking of trying the lamb touch, your pics sold me on it. I am kind of hesitant of asking wested for a bunch of specs though to nail down the LC look, I wish they just had OTR ones that looked like that, it would save a lot of trouble.

dresden

The man- I was wondering which LC you are intending to replicate, the hero or the smithsonian jacket?

dresden

If I were you I'd go with the shrunken lamb first, the LC version requires A LOT of specs, it's taken me awhile to research and help from members here to get all the important specs, and I'm still hesitant to order with all the specs, I'd like it more if I could talk to Peter face to face instead of...

dresden

Hey zoltar nice jacket, those pockets and collar look great , do you mind if I ask what you asked for, I'm thinking of getting a custom LC again and I really love those pockets on your jacket. Congrats

dresden

I ask for no leather facings for two of my LC jackets, and got what I asked for, along with other requests I've made. Like pocket size, pocket placement, SF width, back sleeve seam same as the front- no top stitch ect. And I've always got what I asked for? Maybe I'm lucky?

dresden

Does anyone know what separates the LC collar from the rest? I mean what exactly is the difference other than its bigger and rounder? Let's say I asked a vendor " I want an exact or close enough LC style collar" how would I describe it? I'm not an expert on the subject. So what is the LC c...

dresden

Hi all, I want to get a new pair of todds boots for winter, I wear a size 8 , however todds only has size 7 in stock, so do you guys think they would fit? I've heard they run big anyway.? Thanks

dresden

Nice! I'm so getting one of these. I see on the website that its sizes are in small, med, large, ect. I wear I size 36 jacket so I'm guessing I need a small but does anyone have any idea about those sizes?

dresden

A tailor can fix that problem. However you may want to reconsider it, you may want that extra length in the future when the sleeves start to wrinkle up as you wear them, I've had sleeves that were about n inch to long also but as i wore the jacket I ended up needing that extra bit of length. Hope th...

dresden

Looks good to me, nice jacket. If I had to not pick id say the pockets look too talk, not far enough from the hem, SF doesn't look wide enough, the collar looks good. Other than that I like it. Is this a jacket from a new vendor or a one off?

dresden

I'm diggin your style magnoli, very 1930's ish

dresden

You can't get much cooler than Steve mcqueen, except maybe james dean or marlon brando

dresden

Is it just me , the people I've seen wearing A-2's lately are wearing them too big, they look more like coats than jackets, when I look at photos of pilots from WWll they look much slimmer, much more fitted. But the ones I see nowadays look baggy and way too big. Anyone notice that to?

dresden

No, I'm not trying to age it. I was trying to lighten the color some, to more of a warmer brown, its a bit dark. But I'm really liking this jacket fits good, the lamb is really thick compared to my other one. Pockets are perfect to me at least.

dresden

Thanks, my older auth br looks very much like the pictures of the chicago jacket. I'm just confused about the new one, I've been trying every possible way to distress it but with no luck, alcohol & acetone just make the color duller not lighter, and sand paper reveals a very dark grey/ purplish ...

dresden

So I got my LC jacket on Tuesday and love it, pretty SA with some minor flaws but I'm no SA nazi so I'm happy. My question is about the color of my jacket. I ordered it in authentic brown lamb, but it seems VERY dark brown, I compared it to my other auth br jacket and this new one is a tad darker, b...

dresden

That's one great lookin jacket holt! I just got my custom LC in lamb the other day, I used some of your specs and I think it came out nice. The pockets are perfect. The lamb also appears to be VERY thick ,so when I give her some distressing I think it'll look the part. Post some pics soon.

dresden

Fateoftheduck, I'm aslo 5'9 with a 25 back & it fits perfect. Remember that ford wore his pants high on his waist whice makes the jacket appear longer.

dresden

Hey guys, I've noticed that some of you guys like to dress up as indy in full gear, whice isn't really my thing but, because of my love for history I've always been attracted to 'vintage' styles, I always find myself wearing aviation kinda styles, like cheno pants, dress shirts with ties and such. I...

dresden

Its 95 degrees here, I can barely get away with wearing my lambskin, id probably have a heat stroke in cowhide

I guess I have to wait till it cools down to break her in. Its by far my fav jacket so far though, looks great for a LC/CS style. Not so much for a raiders I would think.

dresden

I got the PD hide last december, I use it as my special occasion jacket, I've gotten the most kind remarks with that jacket. I got it in the CS style and its lovely stuff. My only problem I've been having is its still abit to stiff, but that's only because I don't wear it as often as my others.

dresden

Lookin cool, looks likes it fits perfectly

dresden

Yep, no top stitch. It should look nice Abit more streamline.

dresden

Yeah I know about the pockets, I wear a size 36 jacket I'm skinny as a rail, but they should be fine, the pockets on my other jacket are 7' tall so one inch less should work perfectly.

dresden

Hey guys, I know the hero jacket is hot right now but I've never really been a fan of the raiders jacket, so I placed an order for a custom LC jacket with some specs I was originally gonna go for a magnoli but I'm buying a new car so I didn't have the 500 extra to play with, so I went with wested, a...

dresden

Those pleats look to be a inch in depth, I prefer smaller pleats. Looks good

dresden

Nice jacket, it looks great on you, perfect fit...I'm a fan of that authentic lamb, I ordered a jacket today ( not the hero jacket, but a custom LC with mods ) so I'm really getting excited about it now... congrats on your jacket, wested is shelling out great stuff!

dresden

Interesting, I emailed wested a few days ago and asked if they had washed goat available for a custom order, gemma replied back that it wasn't available. Maybe it only for their hero jackets?

dresden

Is it just me or do the pockets on the chicago jacket look bigger than the pockets on the smithsonian jacket? Has anyone ever had the chance to examine the chicago jacket in detail. Id be very interested to know the details between the two.

dresden

After some consideration & your advice ive decided to go with the goatskin, I have a wested jacket in washed goat and its very soft & light, so if magnolis goat is similar ill be happy. Oh I noticed that the magnoli measurement diagram is abit different from westeds for instance the back mea...

dresden

I belive the person who distressed the jacket for the last crusade used a knife & a wire brush if I'm not mistaken, my question is does anyone know how she used the tools to achieve the look of the jacket? I've tryed different techniques using the knife but I can't seem to get the same affect

dresden

Would warm brown goatskin with heavy predistressed do the trick? Choices, choices

dresden

Thanks for the pics, that jacket looks good. I like the goat, but that lamb they have seems perfect for me so I think I'm still gonna go in that direction, but I still have a few weeks too safe some funds and do more research, so I have some time to consider other possibilities, thanks for your help...

dresden

I shot off another email to magnoli, I wanted to know if the pictures on the website were of the goat or lamb, I was informed that it is lamb. I'm really digging the look of his predistressed lamb, but its about a hundred more than the goat, I have a little pain in my stomach lol....I really need to...

dresden

I see from their website that they ask for a lot of measurements , which is nice, I'm of average height about 5'9 but I'm very thin, so I have to wear a size 36 jack with 24 inch sleeves & 25 inch back length. I'm not really concerned with the sizing since I know my measurements very well. Its m...

dresden

I'm thinking about purchasing a magnoli LC jacket, I'm thinking the warm brown color with the pre-distressed option, unfortunately there's not a lot of info on here about magnolis jackets unlike say wested or todds, so what do you magnoli LC owners think of there jackets? Is the goat a good look for...
