An update on my order: BK emailed to let me know my jacket just shipped! So if you're still waiting, hang in there. They are currently working and shipping jackets. (FYI: I ordered last March.) (Hello- first post here!) Yes I bought a Relic Hunter last year- I ordered in January and (no doubt due t...

He probably doesn't even know what leather is.

Hammerklavier

Looks good, the leather looks different, what leather is that?

Hammerklavier

I wonder the same thing, what's the size of the jacket and how much it weighs? Well, I've lost a lot of weight, but I am STILL a big guy. This is a 48 inch chest, 24.5" sleeve and 27" back. Weight is approximately 2.9 lb It generally feels substantial, but not heavy. I could probably wear...

Looks great, thanks for posting.
Not sure why the pics Wested posted looks more russet than yellow (undertone)

I received my LC legacy jacket today! The turn around time was amazing. First impressions are very good. The skin weight is a good medium weight... with great drape and very supple, but without feeling flimsy or fragile. No insulation in this one. The grain is fairly subdued, in keeping with the sc...

How's the leather?

Hammerklavier

A simple answer : because Sgt.Hack likes it.

Hammerklavier

I would definitely return it.

Hammerklavier

Does the leather looks like the picture in the website? In the website it looks some area has been distressed. The goat is NOT distressed. Typical stiff and tight grain.

sorry I was referring to Charybdis's lambskin Indy.

Update for you folks. I received the Wested predistressed lc jacket yesterday and it’s a great fit. Sizing is spot on for me and the look of the jacket is not Overbearing with the predistressed hide.

Fresh off the press impressions.... I purchased an Indy Style Goat from Wings in 2019 in LT and never worn it because it was ridiculously long and the cargo pockets at least 3 inches from the bottom of the jacket. This time I ordered Large Regular. As far as I can tell, besides length, they are exa...

Got my jacket! Skin is amazingly soft and supple. Nice fit on length and sleeves for me. Although it has a light quilted lining throughout so it makes it a nice winter jacket. Even the sleeves are quilted. No room to layer though. Just a tshirt or one shirt underneath for me but that's OK. My zippe...

thanks all, it seems a difficult mission.

Yes, Wested's OTR CS/LC jacket as they call it is their submission to LFL. It's not accurate to Tony's CS jacket that appears in the film. Most notably the pocket size and shape is not accurate to Tony's. I think the collar width is not accurate either. If you want a Crystal Skull jacket I would go...

Hammerklavier

I had USW vintage cowhide which has similar collar, but fit is just too baggy.

I am trying to build a CS jacket (Wested), is CS collar wider than LC, I know LC is 3.5 inches, so maybe 4 inches for CS? Any help would be appreciated!

Hammerklavier

Thanks for the information, I did not know it before.

But I don't think the car coat length is a coincidence, otherwise how can you explain in their new edition of roo jacket they added 2.5 inches in length?

Hammerklavier

US Wings's unwillingness to reveal measurements always puzzles me, I once asked him about a measurement of indy jacket he said he won't release any information about their pattern, very strange.

Hammerklavier

Got the shipment notice today. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow. So here's hoping! So did I. I called CS and they told me they were waiting on a shipment from NJ and that they would ship it to me on the 29th. NJ? so Schott made the jackets. Which one did you order? I don't assume it was Schott. I or...

I would ask them to make "US Wings Indy car coat" special label.

Hammerklavier

A question: should I consider the possible shrinkage of lambskin when I spec the sleeve length? Thanks

Hammerklavier

The legacy leather is nice to wear on my Raiders, hard to explain, but it feels quality. I'm thinking of distressing it in the same areas as the Indy V jacket, from the pictures that are available so far. Seeing as it looks like the Indy V jacket is the same fit and pattern as Wested's legacy Raide...

I can do it even lighter.

Looks great, the leather seems thick, what's the weight of jacket? thanks

Hammerklavier

Any information about back length?

Hammerklavier

so let me know understand this legacy LC, is it the same pattern from Hero one with more screen-accuracy lambskin??
And all three jackets from legacy range are using same batch of lambskin?
Thanks

Hammerklavier

any sizing info? still super long coat?

Hammerklavier

Trust me, around $400 is the final price gets the jacket sold if you are so lucky.
P.s I am not intend to buy this jacket.

Hammerklavier

$1500? you can two Aero..... I’m accepting offers, but keep in mind: 1. You can buy an Aero at any time 2. Tony had the original patterns 3. Regrettably, because he was such a good soul, Tony won’t be making any more jackets. 4. Bernie hired Tony to make an actual movie jacket it's your jacket, you...

Hammerklavier

$1500? you can two Aero.....

Hammerklavier

Thanks, 25.5 inches for LC, 26 for CS.

Hammerklavier

Thanks.
It's a mid rise jean. The back length is 24.5, the storm flap length is 21, I am 6 ft.

Hammerklavier

I forgot the front does rise up when order the jacket. (By the way, is the front rise up screen accurate?)
Let me know what you guys think? If it's too short, how many inches should I add?

Thanks!

What many forget, or aren't aware of, is that both the fedora AND the jacket were spec'd to be as water resistant as possible by Bernie Pollack. This came directly to me from Steve Delk as he was working with Bernie on the hat, and coordinating with Tony Nowak in development of those items. All the...

I’ve never really been able to tell, but what is the difference between the LC and KOTCS jackets minus the coloration? Besides some of the design quirks of the LC like CM said, which were often a result of rushed or careless construction, the CS jacket is more standardized. It's oversized compared ...

Sure, I believe that it took exactly 3 months from order date to delivery date... I admire your patience, even Wested 2 weeks waiting makes me anxious..... By the time mine arrives, it’ll be cooler weather in Ohio. So, what’s worse: no jacket until October or having a jacket in 90F hot weather that...

I'd say BK but I believe they're out of the cowhide for that jacket at the moment. S&J does one, I've heard, but I don't think I've ever seen one personally. There's of course Wested's standard LC which is effectively a CS but you'd have to compromise on screen accuracy. So without Nowak anymor...

Hammerklavier

My USW vintage adventure jacket has similar leather but pattern is off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hammerklavier

The LC one looks like a copy of the Wested LC/CS. ie. Double seam arm holes and overstitched hem at the bottom of the jacket. Not seen a pic of the insides, if it has facings then that confirms it. The Raiders looks a repro of their basic Raiders too with the tall pockets. https://www.maxcady.com/s...
