Thanks everyone! Lol looks like I will be getting at least 2 or 3 jackets now. Thinking US wings sig series for winter. Then a yet to be determined summer fall version...goat or maybe even lamb after seeing Gmans and Grekos. So much for having only one. Next discussion will need to be on how to just...

Here are a few more shots. I took them indoors as the lighting in my kitchen was better than the thunderstorm outside. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h304/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... 094828.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h304/" onclick="window.o...

...Y....'roo hide..? Isn't it just a bigger rabbit? :P There are a few things to consider with your purchase. A jacket (or anything for that matter) is only as strong as its weakest point, and that would be thread, stitching. If the seams and stitching were internal and not external, then you would...

Well, just as a point of information, I was one of those 3 people involved with the creation of the G&B Expedition back in 2000-01 they mention in the write-up on their company page. I've owned several over the years, and still have 2 of the prototypes in my closet that I wear on occasion. I lo...

You'll get the closest to lamb you can get in terms of texture and drape, a good cut for a ROLA jacket, and and a far stronger leather for real world wear. In fact, I sold the USW Bison in order to fund the purchase of a G&B Expo in goat. Indiana Jeff How has your goat held up? In terms of brea...

What is the toughest Raiders like Indy jacket out there? I have read through so many threads im not sure up from down at the moment... I dont have a budget for multiple jackets sadly. I need a jacket I can dress up or down. A jacket I can wear in all conditions. Something that is as SA as it is toug...

was also wondering if anyone had a side-by-side Raiders vs CS bash so I could see the difference!

I had been here about a month ago looking for input on Adventurebilt fedoras. I ordered one with Steve Delk 5 weeks ago (working on image) He was very polite delivered when promised and was prompt with communication Love it, better than I anticipated! Will buy the CS bash now. Sounds like he will be...

Leave it out in a well ventilated area and give it a chance to air out first. Maybe try taking a clean cotton cloth and wipe the jacket down to remove any excess. I would leave washing it as an absolute last resort. Regards, Indiana Jeff Problem is that it's already been 2 months Since i applied it...

anyone have any experience with this? I had a custom leather jacket made (U-Boat style) nubuck nice, plush, soft treated it with obenaufs now it reeks of it didn't see that any where in the reviews of the product I want to take some of it off, but dont know how to? Can I machine wash it? Pricey coat...

pre-made, measured ideally.

Try the first post. Which jacket in your opinion, looks the most like the film jacket? Sadly I have none of them... :cry: So my opinion holds little water presently that's actually what im trying to figure though... an opinion Which one will do me best, 8-[] SA, durable, perfect fit, striated lamb ...

Now all that said, that does NOT take into account durability or price, real world factors that make a difference. But if you're trying to match what you see on screen, that's my list. :TOH: So then shouldn't there be 3 more polls? 1 for durability 1 for cost 1 for which would Indy have chosen cons...

Thanks everyone!

Do people tend to go a size up as they state on the webpage?

I can't speak to Wested's shrunken lamb, but lamb skin in general is apt to get torn if you give it a good yank or it snags on something. If this is a concern, look at a tougher hide such as cow or goat. I will say, though, that the Indy jacket looks and wears best when it is made out of lamb skin,...

I am working towards my first Indy Raiders Jacket. Been reading quite a bit between here and the Indy Lounge. Lots of info More confused than not... Im leaning towards the shrunken Lamb "hero" from Wested, but was curious. Is the Shrunken striated lamb stronger or less tear resistant than ...
