Wish they would put some measurements on the site in regards to the actual garment. Curious as to the jacket body and sleeve length. Other pics on the site make them look really long in the body.

antiquity collector

I emailed again and I think they were confused as they didn't realize they are currently in production. We just have to wait until they're ready to be listed.

antiquity collector

Confused as I just received this reply from USWings after asking for more info.

Sir

The IJVINC jacket is not available in Seal Brown Antique Lambskin.

Sorry.

antiquity collector

Guess I was out of the jacket search when these popped up. Of course now that I'm perusing again none of the photos people uploaded are there anymore. Curious as to what it looked like.

antiquity collector

Awesome! This was actually my 1st Indy jacket before I found Peter start to offer them. Mine's still in great shape as well, though hanging in the closet for a long while now.

antiquity collector

Absurd. Your somewhat abusive responses and telling other people here you don't care what they think suggests that you should examine your own conduct. Please note, 1 response due to it appearing he only came in here to try and insult me by making the snarky "smallest violin" comment whic...

I also think we can all agree that the state of things in the world warrants a degree of understanding, especially where small independent businesses are concerned. That's a two way street. Businesses need to be understanding as well that when someone goes out of their way to support you with their...

Where else can you buy a custom made Indiana Jones jacket for around £250 and receive it in less than three weeks. £215, shipping included (though it could take a little longer than three weeks): https://www.magnoliclothiers.com/adventure-jacket-wl-p-731.html" onclick="window.open(this.hr...

I think the worlds smallest violin has started playing. It's bad luck but always read the T&Cs. Peter's been gone for over three years. Where else can you buy a custom made Indiana Jones jacket for around £250 and receive it in less than three weeks. By the way my legacy jacket is great. So the...

antiquity collector

Yes, a black and white view of sales which means they have turned into a company more focused on money while sacrificing their customer service. That is the definition of a fail. I've been here from the start and Peter would be most displeased.

This went through the washing machine? I had contemplated going out in a light rain but I was under the impression that the color would alter. I love mine already so wasn't going to risk it. So this is not the case? I love some of the texture but it's a bit too much overall for my preference Most I...

antiquity collector

Ha! The examples I've seen that have gotten soaked have crazy grain pop out. This leather soaks up water like a sponge and it seems to distort a bit as it dries. I think you are right, check out this one after a wash. https://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af72/Glenville86/Indy%20Stuff/DSC03107_zpsjfo...

Thank you, Michaelson. I spent hours on the phone with my sister going over a jacket he wore and also using myself and my own jackets for comparison as a guide since he's almost my size. So when his size 44 was too small even in comparison to my 44 I was at a loss (and I'm still bigger than he is). ...

antiquity collector

I still have mine from '96 and it's currently in the rotation.

antiquity collector

I haven't interacted here for quite a while (life got in the way). Here's what I had to send to Wested regarding their customer service: Hi, I own a few Wested jackets and had just seen the announcement for your Legacy offerings. This reminded me that I had sent my sister in your direction to order ...

Awesome photos. It's nice to see women with the same hobbies. I have to know. The pic (Poster) on your wall in the left hand corner of your photos (the one where we can only see Indy's legs)- Is it a poster? Or a piece of art you did yourself? I've never seen that before and I have a lot of posters....

My sympathies to you and your family.

AC

Exactly. And who does that sort of thing anyway.

AC

I got a new jacket about 6 months ago with the aluminum. I did specify that I never zip up my jacket though. So it'll last for me.

It seems rather sturdy. You'd have to really srew it up to have it break.

AC

antiquity collector

You guys keep forgetting that the Aluminum zip IS available.

I ordered my 1st jacket with lamb without seeing samples because it was the film leather. It still is a great jacket after almost 10 years. Only a tear on one pocket which snagged on something which I could send back to Peter to fix. Lamb is a tough leather as long as you don't run by nails or rose ...

antiquity collector

They sent me samples which after 5 weeks never arrived. They then sent a 2nd batch which showed up in a week. Then 3 days later the 1st set arrived. Blame it on the mail system.

AC

Hey,

That wouldn't happen to be mine would it? I'm sure hoping it is cause it looks amazing.

AC (Rob)

Steve and family,

As I've been out of the loop for awhile, I was shocked and saddened to hear of this news. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Sure sounds like a great guy.

Robert

antiquity collector

WOWWWW! If mine looks like that I'll be extremely happy. Is that the same one that you have on in the sleeping pic? That 3/4 shot nails a shape at the top of the camel hump I've been trying to replicate forever. There's just never enough height on my hats to get the amount of material to bulge like ...

antiquity collector

Does look awesome.

By the way, how long does it take you to finish one hat?

AC

antiquity collector

How would sending shirts or pants negate an order to not send a jacket? Is someone posing as Peter? This makes no sense and would cripple some busineses (especially Peter's). OR Maybe he got upset and had gone to the pub before writing this? (Don't take offense Peter, just trying to rationalize this...

antiquity collector

That's the distressing from the pocket knife. Drag the blade across tight leather and it will stretch it giving you those marks. It's primarily on the main jacket throughout most of the film and the publicity shots. That must have been the favorite jacket.

AC

antiquity collector

You can get any lightweight felt to mushroom if you sit on it and crush it. You don't need to go to all this trouble of folding a sweatband. The way it bulges is almost painfuln when it's folded. No actor would wear it that way for a look that only we seem to be obsessed about.

AC

antiquity collector

It has to be padding. Has anyone tried folding the sweat over? It's extremely uncomfortable and a pain in the a## to do. Putting padding in is the easiest solution.

When I picked them up and measured them individually there were 3 groups. 33", 33 1/2" & 34" inseams. I had to seperate them by waist and inseam. Jerry, yours were the 34's. Just wondering, how do you wear them? Right on the waist? You should have had more length than what your sa...

And I thought members asking me to look at and explain pics of Bink's a## was weird

. You guys just have to push it that much further and over the top.

AC

antiquity collector

I'd love to see it after Bink. And I've dealt with both Bink and Fedora so you guys know my addy. It'll give me a good idea of what size to order when the bodies come in.

AC

antiquity collector

Thanks for the clarification Bink. I forgot all about the hard crease in these pants. Plus turning to get the shot, that'll do weird things to drape in pics. For evryone that has picked up a pair: What do you all think lookwise and colorwise? It would be nice to hear others opinions and comparisons ...

antiquity collector

Hi all, Just wanted to clarify something I've been getting asked in regards to Bink's pics of the pants above. The poof in his pants is due to: 1) the stance he is in & 2) Bink having the waist taken in No offense Bink, but why didn't the tailor take in the rear as well as the waist? They still ...

antiquity collector

I got my jacket in '97 I believe. Wore it every chance I got and still do without any problem. Of course I never zip it up.

Also, I thought the new liner he went with was stronger and more durable so it wouldn't wear out?

AC

antiquity collector

Ah, another question I would've liked answered is why leather facings were added on both inside breasts along the zips?

I don't get it. Looks like more work to me.

AC

antiquity collector

I remember Peter saying that the Aluminum zip is available. He just tried to clarify that the Nickel was never used and NOT an option as it was hard to obtain, but the aluminum was easily gotten.

I just ordered a jacket a few months back and received it with no problem.

AC

antiquity collector

Actually, I was told they were French military. I had a pair that was used but disintegrated when I washed them ( turns out that it had old stains which had to have been bleach). Bleach will dissolve fabric over time so these are kind of old. Just happens I found the unissued lots. As for the size y...

antiquity collector

If you want screen accurate you HAVE to go with the lamb. It is a tough jacket unless you catch it on a nail, scissors or something really sharp and pointy. I did rip mine but have no idea how it happened. It's on the pocket so I was considering sending it back to Peter for repairs. Inside facings a...

antiquity collector

Oh,

You might want to ask for the zip to extend to the bottom of the jacket.

Also, ask for no extra inside facings at the zips on inside breasts.

AC[/b]

antiquity collector

As for sliders or d-rings that's up to you. If you want raiders then go with the sliders (I happen to think they look better). The small gauge zipper is in regards to the teeth size. Standard zip has large teeth. Small gauge has small teeth (go figure). Small gauge is screen accurate although I forg...

antiquity collector

I have both a lamb and a goat. The lamb is lighter in weight, drapes easier (and more accurate) and is hardly noticeable when you wear it. You won't realise it's on. I've worn it in 30 degree weather with a t-shirt and wasn't cold. The goat is thicker, heavier and you know it's there when you wear i...

After all the applications I applied, mine is not greasy at all. I let it soak in for 24 hours for each application. Then rubbed it really well at the last. Plus using the lighter in the middle helped it dry out some.

No bleed, no greasy feel.

AC

antiquity collector

I took mine (which is a Noel Howard)and sanded the back a little. Then used Pecards brown 3 times. Then I took a lighter to it to darken the back to better match the front. Then Pecards brown again. Then regular Pecards. Doesn't seem to bleed at all.

That poster is not to scale as it was composited together by Richard Amsel from different pics for the illustration. I don't know where he got the body reference. He might have made it up judging from other pics.

AC

Where does it say you can get a custom shirt or pants from Wested? They said all were mass produced in general sizes and no custom orders.

AC

antiquity collector

None at my Wal-Mart. Haven't looked in K-Mart yet.

Noel had the Raiders color nailed. The Wested is great for LC.
