Haven't been here in a while. That jacket is a thing of beauty. I LOVE my S&J.

kozmoedave

Old thread and old question, but I shave with either a safety or straight, depending on how much time I have. That includes the ol' noggin, although the safety does a MUCH quicker and easier job there.

kozmoedave

Absolutely gorgeous. I have a '36 in thin horsehide that I LOVE. Seeing a few of the SA distressed is making me want one of those, too... Along with an SA LC. Diego, you're gonna take all my money!

kozmoedave

Man, that's an awesome jacket. I have a real soft spot for the LC.

kozmoedave

VERY cool.

kozmoedave

Yeah, I noticed the snaps, too. I'm also disappointed they went with lamb. Was really hoping these would be goat again.

kozmoedave

I saw this on Facebook. Now I need one.

kozmoedave

You're gonna love it.

BEAUTIFUL jacket.

kozmoedave

Any word on whether these are an actual Goodyear welt?

Another beauty from S & J.

kozmoedave

Congratulations! You will be VERY happy. I'm itching for one of those, myself. I have a Raiders from them and it's incredible.

kozmoedave

It always seemed like a good deal to me, especially if you're not a stitch-counter.

kozmoedave

GORGEOUS.

I can't say enough good things about S&J. Top notch on all fronts.

kozmoedave

Very nice! I do like the way it looks in your pics better than the website. Congratulations on your first Indy!

kozmoedave

No! We're the sane ones. It's everyone else who's crazy.

kozmoedave

Just got them today. VERY comfortable, and they look great.

kozmoedave

Yellowduke, I went to the J. Crew site and those looked great, but they're sold out! Great news, though: I found a previously owned (but new) pair for a SONG on the Bay. I'd never seen those before. Thank you!

kozmoedave

I think I'll soon be in the market for some boots. I'm the type of guy that wants Indy gear for every day use. Aldens aren't out of the question. But I'd like something I could wear at work, in the woods, in snow and ice, and that will last a LONG time... Advice?

kozmoedave

Obersalzberg, I take it the Wested goat is OTR? I ask because I'm sort of on the fence as far as that vs. a Hero.

kozmoedave

Thanks for the replies. Love the stories behind some of these, too. Gotta say, I'm envious of some of your collections. Illinois James, people are going to get tired of me talking about my S&J, but I'm in love with the thing all the way around. The only bad thing about summer coming is that I wo...

kozmoedave

1) How many Indy jackets do you currently own (including anything on order)? 2) What are they (maker, model, leather type, any other pertinent details)? 3) What is your desert island jacket, whether it's in your collection or not; and again, maker, model, leather, etc. (if you could only have one)? ...

kozmoedave

I concur. Looks good to me. I don't know how many Indy jackets you have, but with my first one, I had to get used to everything . At first I thought it didn't fit and I'd have to exchange it for a size up. Posted a few pics here to positive response and wore it for a couple days only to realize it f...

kozmoedave

Did you go with a Hero or just OTR?

kozmoedave

Well, stiff here is kind of a relative term. It's stiffer than lamb, but I wouldn't say this jacket is stiff at all.

kozmoedave

Indeed. It tempted me enough to pull the trigger pretty quickly. Been wearing it every day since I got it.

kozmoedave

I learned very quickly that this hobby, and for me the jackets in particular, is addicting. My intention at the start was just to get an Indy jacket. That's all. A year and a half, two jackets, two Akubras, a Mark VII with a custom leather strap, and a few web belts later, here I am, saving for anot...

kozmoedave

I'm in Michigan. The two I have took exactly two weeks from the date the order was placed. I looked at the Morgan one, too, but came to the conclusion I'd be happier in the long run with a Fed. It's worth the wait.

kozmoedave

Wow, another gorgeous jacket from S&J. Man, I wish I had a lot more disposable income.

kozmoedave

The customer service at Akubra is excellent. I stated above that I have two, and I plan on at least one more from them.
Also, that hat looks great! I found bashing easy, but I'm not going for a particular film or scene, just a general vibe.

kozmoedave

True story. I've said before and I'll say again, S&J has it going on, on all fronts. I will be buying from them again in the future.

kozmoedave

+1 for Make It Jones.

kozmoedave

PM Diego.

kozmoedave

In my opinion, S & J can't be beat for the money. I can't personally justify the price of a Kelso, and while S & J is more costly than a Wested, I've never seen ONE negative comment regarding them. They seem to be hitting everything out of the park, not just in terms of quality product, but ...

kozmoedave

That's very valuable information, and a great post, in my opinion. If I may chime in... I have no experience with Wested, in part because of similar horror stories I've heard tell of around campfires. I was very fortunate that Todd's were available when I was first looking for an Indy jacket. I real...

kozmoedave

You will be very happy with your Steele & Jones. I LOVE mine. Someday I'll have one of their distressed LCs.

kozmoedave

THAT is wicked cool.

kozmoedave

Looks like a cool bag. But so does my genuine Mark VII. At a fraction of the price.

kozmoedave

Thank you, everyone.

Jones-Solo, I know what you mean. And I've never seen a negative comment about Steele & Jones. I'm sure you'll be VERY pleased with yours.

One of these days I'll be contacting Diego again for a distressed LC.

kozmoedave

kozmoedave

I was so excited about my jacket, I created a thread for it, but as of today, I'm the extremely happy owner of the first thin horsehide S&J '36!

kozmoedave

For those that haven't ordered from Diego, he asked for pictures of me in a jacket I liked the fit of, along with its measurements. I used a Todd's, and Diego made a couple suggestions for slight alterations. This man obviously knows what he's doing; I agreed and let him work his magic. Couldn't be ...

kozmoedave

Just feeling it with my fingers, the thickness feels identical to my Todd's lamb skin. It's thin and very comfortable.

kozmoedave

None of the pictures do it justice. To say I'm a satisfied Steele & Jones customer is an understatement. Thank you, Diego!
