It's Indy Jim, but not as we know it...
AKA a change of pace for ob1al.
Here's my new jacket:
I decided I wanted to go the A2 route a while ago. Whist this is a departure from 'gear' per se, the style represents everything I love about the Indy jacket and the era.
What do you think?
Regards
Al

One more thing I thought of: are your arms really long? I have pretty long arms and the elastic cuffs on jackets like that are often too short for me. My Wested is actually a little long, though I like it that way (and it's a size 44 Hmmm. ). Anyway, any issues with the sleeves?
And please post a pic with you wearing it. That's the only way to truly see a jacket.

Hem - I should have mentioned , this development is 'hot off the press' - these pics are actually from the chap I bought the jacket from. It's currently en route to me and due to arrive on Saturday!
But based on the measurements he gave me, it should be just fine.
I will indeed take a few pics on me wearing it once it arrives!
High regards

Oh I forgot about that - I'll ship it via Soul Train. Sorry Al, The Knower of Things is now the sole owner. You'll have to make arrangements with the great and powerful M if you want that soul of yours back. However, if you send me that A-2 of yours I can put in a good word for you. Hey 1000 posts - though still a long long way from Ren and Michaelson.

Don't you worry, Al - or shall I say soulless one - I'm pretty sure the mighty M. (the soul proprietor) will see to it that you're soul be returned, especially after Jess' above soul-iloquy... after all, his souls aren't big enough to walk in your shoes...
I had planned to end this with something witty about Han Soul-O, but I can't bring myself to it... sorry. Oh yeah, and sorry for this entire post.

Actually this particular A2 will be coming up for soul...erm I mean sale (or maybe trade) in the classifieds anyday now.
Its a really beautiful jacket in person, horsehide I believe - very well made, great colour too!
But...its just a shade too small for me across the chest! I wish it fit me, really, I do! Guess I need a 44 or maybe a 46. Anyone wanna trade A2's?

BTW, I bet you're really glad now that you held onto your Wested.
