LAST CRUSADE - FILM JACKET PICS
Many of you have probably seen these pics before, and I'm sorry if this is a repost. This is the LC jacket that was auctioned off June 2005. The larger pics can be found at:

You can make out "FORD" in blue on the tag.
I hope this helps clear up any questions about the LC pockets, collar, and lining that were floating around.

Ouch...that distressing just looks...cartoony. So uniformly SCRAPED along all the seams - more like piping. I'm sure part of that is the flash exaggerating it, but regardless, I'm glad it wasn't so severe looking on film. (I know you can SEE it in the screen caps, guys, I mean it doesn't look THIS clear in every shot.)
(EDIT: Upon rereading my post, let me clarify - I am NOT discounting that it's the real jacket. I even believe it is. I just mean I hate that distressing job...)

Here you go, Gater.
The LC jackets all had D-rings. I believe it was only the Raiders jacket which had black, rectangular buckles.
Strider,
I don't even think Wested was Wested yet in 1988. Peter and Co. would have been known as Leather Concessionarries and were subcontracted the work from Bermans and Nathans who provided most of the costumes in the films.

Well, I have pulled that one out of thin air. But I swear I remember reading a post about all the LC jackets having satin linings.Michaelson wrote:Really?J_Weaver wrote: I seem to remember Peter saying that all LC jackets had a satin lining.
I don't remember him ever saying that.

Perhaps I have a vivid imagination?

Hmm...now I'm definitely not letting you try my jacket on. My lamb has a similar grain, but it's not as pronounced in a few areas. Can't get it to photograph right, my jacket still has that shine where it hasn't lost the finish...Michaelson wrote:You and me both, my friend. If it IS lambskin, it's about the nicest hide I've ever seen to date. NICE grain to this one.
Regards! Michaelson
EDIT: HEY! This shows something I've been pondering lately...this jacket still has a shine to it where it wasn't distressed so much! (Certianly inside the back bottom and the rim of the collar (the part against the neck), but also on the pocket and next to the storm flap you can see it.) I've hesitated about removing the shine from my jacket as that doesn't seem like how it would normally wear. (I'm still in the natural distressing camp, but possibly only by technicality...I daydream of distressing once in a while. Nobody tell Michaelson, he'd bust me down to Grail Recovery Volunteer! )

Remember that's 'summer weight' in England. We call 70° warm!Michaelson wrote:Ah, could be.
All I've EVER read or heard Peter say was all jackets in all 3 movies had cotton linings. He even referred to the lambskin cotton lined jackets as his 'summer weight' jackets in the distant past.

This is just my two cents worth about the LC auction jacket:
I watched the entire movie carefully, and nowhere could I find Mr. Ford wearing a jacket with that unusually cheesy distressing...EXCEPT...when he is hanging off the big gun on the side of the tank, while the nice man on top of the hill is pouring dirt all over him. If you look closely, you can see what almost look like tan stripes on the seams of Mr. Ford's jacket. There's also a still of that scene on www.theindyexperience.com under the LC Photos page, and his jacket looks very similar to the auctioned jacket. My guess is, he wore it only for this stunt (maybe because it IS cowhide and would stand up better to the abuse).
I do believe his other jacket(s) are lamb, because they moved with him like a lightweight fabric, just like his Raiders jacket...and my Raiders jacket.
Or I could be wrong

It's hard to say. Almost all the jackets were coated with Fullers earth for distressed appearance. This jacket has been cleaned of the dusting, and this odd distressing is what remains, so without the Fuller's to fill in the 'gaps', it's hard to visualize WHERE it fit into the movie.

You're right, Strider, there is definite aging in those scenes, but imo it was a bit more natural than the "cartoon jacket" in the auction.
I don't know the history of this particular jacket, but is it possible that the over-zealous sanding on the seams and edges could have been done after filming? Like maybe whomever was in charge of the jacket knew it would be sold eventually and wanted it to look more aged, but lacked the skill to age it properly.

I don't know you know I was watching LC the other day and paid a lot of attention to the motorbike scene where they stop, there is a lot of seam distressing on that jacket. A LOT! And couple with filming filters and techniques a lot dissapears, actors often wear orange makeup to appear natural under screen lighting.
