Does the wested hero ToD have the proper side vent configuration like the original Noel Howard jacket. I know it a hit or miss years ago.

Han Jones

Some were 700 some were 900. It usually depended on leather.

Han Jones

I have two on every version of each jacket from almost every vendor we have since 2003. I just was looking for a non distressed goat TOD with a quick turnaround. Steel and Jones is the current go to no doubt.

Han Jones

A bit of nostalgia for the old days comes into play also

Han Jones

Have one already. Looking for something with quick turnaround.

Han Jones

So it’s been awhile since I’ve ordered from wested. Are they doing the customization that they used to? Are the proper TOD pleats the standard now? Not looking to send a list by any means.

Han Jones

Put the money towards Diego's jacket now. Horse is the best opinion. I have bought a jackets from every vendor over the last 14 years. As of now the Steele and Jones is my favorite. LC in horse. I have a ToD wested I bought over the summer and even with the original pattern in hand they still got it...

I was at Disney World this year during C2E2 but I did have the Ark there last year. It hasn't seen the light of day since DragonCon 2006.

Han Jones

. On the events of last week here - I apologize to Han for my personal attack. I don't trust you or your friend, Riley I accept the apology but for what its worth I don't trust you either. As for your issues with Riley, he does not seem to care what you think of him so I would say direct your probl...

Han Jones

I have been told the film jackets did not have inside pockets or least that is what I remeber. These two have three inside pockets.

Han Jones

As far as I know the only two TNO produced Green Lantern jackets outside the film. One is made from original hide Tony saved for me an Riley used and the other is 747. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/261686_2114492628720_1437833309_2481730_865550_n.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/h...

Han Jones

That is actual film jacket. I have to post pics of mine. As far as I know it is only one outside of the production. It is made of the skin used for the film. He had one left over he saved for me.

Han Jones

I will never know why Tony is such a target here.

Han Jones

I have outed myself as a customer of Tony and Riely and a person who doesn't make or sell jackets. Now that you have everyone in line I guess there is nothing left to say. Hope we meet in person someday so you call me a liar to my face.

Han Jones

First off I am not superstitious so I will only burn if I stay by my pool for to long. So you are saying that Tony copied a jacket that did not exist back in March before he went to Italy so he could then claim now that he made the jacket for the movie and then sell it. Greedy? Reily might not even ...

Han Jones

It was left off because I assume Tony was not allowed to talk about it till the release. Most of us found out about a week before Indy IV came so I used that as a model to let people know about this. It is the internet man so my "evidence" and your "evidence" don't mean a thing. ...

Han Jones

I figured this one out on my own last summer. Tony was very tight lipped about this one. He saved me a skin but was never able to make it himself and he never told me wath is was he was doing. He was going to use the leather for an A-2 for my brother. The only thing he told me is that the costume de...

Han Jones

The last film Tony worked on opens Friday. He made Ryan Reynolds flight jacket in " Green Lantern"

Han Jones

I always took my jackets to a cobbler and he unstitched the k stitch and cut it there the reattached it.

Han Jones

From one of Tony's last films TRON: Legecy. He still has one more to be out in June. http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/183500_1888940590060_1437833309_2175327_1091951_n.jpg We decided to Tron the logo like what Disney did at the beginning of the film. It is a light weight black cow. htt...

Han Jones

100% correct _. He has a resposibility to those who ordered jackets from him.

Han Jones

What I don't get is if you are not interested in getting a jacket or have a current order why do you care about what is going on? Remeber all thats been said about Riley since April and look at the jackets he has produced and how happy the people are who got them. Why would he do anything other tha...

Han Jones

I will agree with Chewbacca that this is not about Tony. Riley is in charge now. From what I can gather from my conversations with Riley they are staying till the orders run our but all that said they are intending to close. Perhaps he didn't know a last call would bring so many orders. I know when ...

Han Jones

The danger here is new people being wowed buy the "stories" told here over the years about the jackets, stories that change every few years once someone get ripped off by the flavor of the week jacket guy. The truth is out there just not here. Ban me if you want I don't care. There is a cr...

Han Jones

How can the Surrogates jacket be in question as well. My god if people wanted to say he didn't make the T3 or Surrogates why not say it when he was alive so he could set it straight. Why discredit peoples work after they are dead. I would have more respect for people if they just said he was one of ...

Han Jones

Who ever was making the jacket and pants couldn't get it right so Tony was brought in and he did it the way they wanted. Tony's word is my proof.

Han Jones

BendingOak wrote:He didn't get the job because of his friendship with Arnold. He got the job because he made the designer happy where before they couldn't get the jacket to work like the designer wanted.

100% correct John.

Han Jones

Tony did make the jacket and pants from T3, his name is on the buttons on the screen used jacket.

Han Jones

1- Nowak (if you have one you know especialy vintage goat I would put it up against anything) 2- G&B ( I wore mine for 2 weeks and some of the leather started peel off) 3- Wested (I have had problems with lining but never leather, I wouldn't say they are costume peices) 4- Magnoli (costruction i...

Han Jones

Take it from me SURROGATES jacket.without question. Tony always said he felt it was his best one.

Han Jones

I am fortunate to be able to store some and wear some. I will store what I call my "master copies" one of each Rola, ToD, LC, CS, and a Surragates. It still leaves me a Rola, CS, 2 LC, X-1 and a Surragates for daily wear. I am still thinking of getting another ToD that way I will have 2 of...

So far, that hasn't happened yet.

This is a hobby, plain and simple. You're supposed to ENJOY a hobby.

When you let it become more than that, then it's an obsession.

That's not a hobby.

Regards! Michaelson

I agree with you 100 %

Han Jones

Two of the three TN LC I have do sport the nickel zipper. I did that because Tony truly beleived that is was nickle. Mind you none of my TN nickle zippper look 100% silver.

Han Jones

Will the jackets this fall be a totally different pattern? The jackets look fine but I just can't get over the gap between the shoulders on the back panel.

Han Jones

Well done Riley. Contrats Mitch.

Han Jones

Alao keep in mind that Tony rarely even looked at anything here, Bryan typed most of his stuff. I can't figure out why people think Riley has to go through mods to get his word out. People seem to be happy with his jackets without him getting stunk into the COW vortex. Mabye Riley just wants to make...

Han Jones

I talk Riley everyday and have spoken to his mother , Tony's wife a few times as well. Riley dosen't have anymore time to sit on these boards and post replys anymore than Tony did. Bryan post most of Tonys stuff up here anyway. As for an announcment on the website don't expect one soon as still don'...

Han Jones

Riley and I just spoke and we are trying to find the last of the PAID orders that were sent to Tony. They want to get these wraped up. Many have been filled so we just want to know what if anything is left. If you have a paid order please email: tonynowak@aol.com Again PAID orders only please at thi...

Han Jones

All this being said why do none of my westeds look like the jacket on screen?

Han Jones

I would say it is the same color as the original. The leather is a lighter shade of 747 that the guys darkened to get that color. Since the leather he used for the movie is gone this is the exact replacement. We called it "new original surragates leather" As far a the style goes I would no...

Han Jones

As I posted on the first page they will decide when they will take new orders. I just wanted to show people my jacket and that they can produce nothing more. I know a few members here by name and have been able to help them sort through some jackets that have already been made but have not shipped y...

Han Jones

I speak to Riley daily. Bryan, Riley, and myself have been going back and forth about leather names and other various things about the shop. Most of Tony's info was in his head so we are all working together to get everything straight. If you have a paid order that you have not recived yet email the...

Han Jones

I love the Surragates leather we have called it New Original leather. He and Bryan told me that the new original and 747 are the same leather, 747 being darker color. If you get a Surragates get it in new original and have them darken it like they did for the movie. I got mine undisstresed and I lov...

Han Jones

No I just wanted to document all of the that way. They all hang in the same closet I do try to wear all of them just not all at once. I go through phases. Right now I am really diggin this Surragates jacket.

Han Jones

Well, your Nowak Museum... uh, collection... is mouth-wateringly good. Now that I have seen it all, I must ask; Is this just an earlier shot of the antique goatskin, or something else? http://s1041.photobucket.com/albums/b416/Han_Jones4/?action=view&current=jackets022.jpg And what is this one? ...

Han Jones

To be honest with you in my opinion the best style he made was the "Surragates" jacket. He told me once that he felt it was his best jacket he made.

Han Jones

I have a few Nowak Jackets I have not shown yet and I just received my 10th from Tony Nowak Originals by Riley Barrie. Riley has taken the reins and is filling PAID orders at this time. I can tell you the quality of service and jackets has not changed. In the coming weeks they will announce when new...

Han Jones

I am not the best one to ask since I can't see myself ever getting another Indy jacket from anywhere else. If it dosen't come out of 114 Standard St. it doesn't go in the closet.

Han Jones

Quite a few have been shown in the CS leather Chewie. You've probably seen them. tundrarider's jacket is one. The BEST LC jacket (IMHO) I have ever seen on this board was Han Jones'. Does anyone know if his is a dark CS leather? HJ, you out there? I have 9 Nowaks. 3 are LC. One in CS hide, one vint...
