Just Ordered my first Raiders Jacket from Todds Costumes

Hi folks,

I've spent much of the last several weeks lurking and soaking up as much jacket knowledge as I could from this forum.

I've pored over the various debates, and examined pictures carefully, and finally decided that I wanted my first Raiders Jacket to come from Todds Costumes.

I ordered it in the lambskin, and can hardly wait for the next few weeks to pass!

Thanks for your responsiveness to my questions Todd, and thanks especially to all of you in the forum who act as an information resource to those of us who aren't always vocal about it!

Lorn

I don't think you'll regret your decision. From what I hear, Todd makes one kick-*** jacket!

Excellent choice sladerlmc77....

I would not trade mine for any other Indy jacket out there...

Be sure to post some pics when it arrives.

I ordered mine in July so I'm also anxiously waiting.

I ordered my lambskin jacket from them at the beginning of May. I've been told that I should have it in the first two weeks of this month...

We are back at work on jackets, and since there are only a few of you waiting, we should have them all caught up in the next few weeks.

Thanks for waiting!

Todd

Goodie Goodie Goodie!

Yep...when I placed my order, Todd said he thought he could have one to me in around 3 weeks. That was almost two weeks ago now, so I'm counting down the days, anxious for its arrival!

Great news! I'm sure it'll have been worth all the wait once I've got it!

I will. By the time it gets here, I should have my Akubra Federation. If I ever get my care package from my mother, it's got my LL Bean pants in it. Then I'll have a complete "close enough" outfit!

Woooooo! Just got an email saying that Todd's Costumes has shipped me a package!

sladerlmc77 · Post by **sladerlmc77** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 9:29 pm

Still got a week to wait on mine, based on Todds original estimate. Please post pics as soon as you get it...it's the next best thing to holding my own in my hand!

I also shipped my old Optimo off to Chicago this week to get the full restoration...it'd seen a LOT of abuse in the last few years. If I have any kind of luck at all, I'm hoping it'll get here around the same time as the jacket.

*can hardly contain myself*

I'll see your hovitos and raise you the Eighth Army 2nd Infantry Division.

You Guys:

"Three weeks." My jacket (crazy custom cut), was ordered in April. I had no concern about the timing; just pleased that Todd was willing to give an unusual fit a chance.

The jacket is reported to now be in the construction stage.

Sincerely;

Has anybody heard from Todd recently? I sent him a message a few days ago and haven't heard a peep, starting to get a little worried.

Anybody know if he's on vacation or anything?

Lorn,

Sorry for the slow response. We've been really busy and I try to stay off the computer and in the shop.

Dr. Seuss, I think yours just went out a few days ago. Lorn, hang in there. We're getting then out slowly. We've had to bump our indy jacket schedule to do a few others - a custom Fonzie jacket replica for an event with Henry Winkler and a giant bomber jacket for a lizard walk-around. We'll be finished with those early next week and back to indy jackets.

I can't help but ask...

What is a lizard walk-around, and why does he need a giant bomber jacket?

Is this for Godzilla? *grins*

Puppetboy · Post by **Puppetboy** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 8:32 pm

It's a mascot character for a medical company. Nothing as fun as Godzilla.

Chewbacca Jones · Post by **Chewbacca Jones** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 9:56 pm

Let me just say; Thank You Todd for responding and explaining!

I was getting concerned, too. But now I'm OK.

Forget the stylish lizard, I want to see Fonzie back in the jacket!
