I've been considering a Horsehide Wested because of its hard wearing qualities as a field jacket. Does anyone out there have any photos of one in use. I don't want to end up with another jacket like the cowhide which is a great jacket but does not capture the right look because of the drape. Love the lamb though!

Does the Horsehide Wested drape like a true Indy jacket?

Here are some pics of my HH. But I had to send it back for some changes.
I don't think that it will capture the right raiders look. I don't think that it will ever get much wrinkles. It's really stiff and heavy. The horse is IMO more a LC lookalike. The LC jacket doesn't drape like in the other movies.
But hey that's just my opinion. I use my HH as a Raiders style jacket. So I don't really need it much screen accurate. When you move with the horse jacket it will look wrinkled but the wrinkles won't stay. Maybe after years of wearing. I will see

That's a good pic, but I hate to sound like a downer when I say this about the pic above. But, that pic has air blowing through his jacket as Indy speeds along on the bike. Naturally, it will make the leather look thicker/fuller. I've even worn a plain ol' cotten t-shirt while riding a 4-wheeler that produces the same effect.... But anyway, I agree by lookin' at the pics that the horsehide definitely looks more Last Crusade-ish .
