Young Indiana Jones Jackets - Photo Help?
Please don't hurt me for not writing about THE jacket, but rather the jackets we saw Young Indy wearing. Specifically, his motorcycle courier coat and his flying coat from the YIJC.
I recently wrote to Wested about constructing a YIJC coat and Gerry asked me to send along photos for an accurate quote. Unfortunately, all the screengrabs I've found on the net have been pretty fuzzy (I guess because they were pulled off video), so I was wondering if anyone was interested in helping - even out of curiosity about how much a YIJC jacket might cost?
Does anyone have YIJC trading cards, for example, which might have suitable shots - or a behind the scenes book or similar? I think the jacket I'm most interested in revisiting is the motorcycle courier jacket... IIRC, it was almost knee length, and a weathered brown leather (???)
The reason I'm interested in such a jacket is because while I intend getting THE jacket, I'm also curious about something which could, for example, be worn as an overcoat in the winter. Just the thing to pop over my suit as I walk from the parking station to work!
Thoughts?

Well I'm not too up on YIJC & I certainly don't know about that jacket, but I'm wondering if you seen this & I'm imagining it's quite similiar...

Certainly a great looking jacket

Yes, quite similar to that... very much along those lines for the motorcycle courier jacket, IIRC.
I think it would be such a great Indy-related coat to have in the cupboard - able to do things that THE jacket simply can't do (like be work over a suit, etc).
But it seems no one either knows this jacket, or mustn't consider it to be "real" Indy gear. A shame

Thanks for your support, Michaelson. I am thinking of turning this into a bit of a project. Having just stumped up for a Wested Horse, I won't be buying another jacket in a hurry, so it gives me time to start planning. I might even create a Web page where I can collect images and stuff? Hmmm, I will dwell on this...

Rob,
You might also want to check out Aero Leather (Transatlantic Clothing Co).

Their "Barnstormer" is similar to the Eastman jacket. Also, check out the Aero sales link, on their home page, as discounted Barnstormers are listed for much less than standard price -- usually because a hide may be heavier or steer instead of horse.
Cheers,
Harry

Yep, you might want to drop Indy Magnoli about this, as stated in the other string.
Here's what you'll be looking at if and when you go to his site, as it will be a custom job:
