"The Jacket" - Ever had any comments?
Yo!
We have a similar thread in the Fedora section regarding people making remarks about "The Hat", but have any of you ever had any comments made about "The Jacket"?
I had my first one at work today, bearing in mind I've worn it non stop for nearly a month.
"Hey, had a new jacket? It makes you look like The Fonz!"
THE FONZ????
I replied, "Yeah, but Fonzie thought he was cool. I am"

I've always gotten positive comments on my jacket, but now that it's more distressed looking the amount of comments have increased. See the update:viewtopic.php?p=357306#357306
Go figure - the more weathered and beat up the jacket looks, the more people seem to like it.
Only those that know I'm into Indy gear have made "the comment" (usually in the form of singing the "Raiders March") - to everybody else it just looks like a nice leather jacket...

Since I saw Raiders in 1981 I have been wearing my Indy-outfit for every occasion that called for a dress-up; Carnivals, partys etc. and I NEVER met anyone who knew who I was supposed to be untill after the release of LC.
( might be my poor close-enough gear that wasn't close-enough after all...)
After that things cleared up a bit, but I have also been asked a few times if I was supposed to look like Crocodile Dundee!!!!!!?? (Had to beat up those guys very badly...)
So - No. Never met anyone who could recognize an Indy-jacket.
Cheers

I got a compliment from a girl at a club..."Love your jacket." But usually I'm the first to speak up about it cause I'm so vain!
One time I was at another club wearing my Cooper, and I saw this guy carrying a rather suspicious looking jacket over his arm...I INSTANTLY recognized the stitching on it and hurried over to inquire. IT WAS AN EXPEDITION!!! He complimented me on my "eye" and told me he wasnt even aware it was an Indiana Jones model jacket!! He just got it for Christmas from a family member who wasnt even into the Indy thing....Go figure!

Doug C is correct, although I’ve never been called special (having “special needs”, yes).
It’s all done with Vaseline on the lens and smoke and mirrors (my girdle is killing me).

Which jacket is that from your stable?
