Holt, I do have pictures of the backpanel and the sidestraps. The backpanel is longer than what Wested usually offers, and is more in line with the LC look. Nowak's sidestraps, however, is something completely different from what we've come to expect.
I'll have to ask Tony if it's alright to post further pictures, just out of common courtesy though!
I assumed that since we'd all seen the front of the jacket, it would be nothing new...
And nope, this isn't the CS leather.

Hey G! The blue jacket is just a prototype, although I must admit that it looks pretty snazzy for an Indy jacket (though clearly not for everyone's tastes). I guess the pinstripes just match!

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have two jackets on order, and I'm already considering getting two more for posterity! Mr. Nowak is just a pleasure to deal with, and the way he treats you, you'd think that you're his only customer. He mentioned that he had the utmost respect for the dedication of us gearheads, and just wanted to do right by us basically.
Interestingly, when I mentioned that I was surprised at how sincere and dedicated he was to such a small cliche such as us, which we don't see often among gear vendors (I mean this in the most general sense), he was quick to basically say he did not know the other vendors, and one could sense he doesn't want to step on anyone's toes.
I don't know about the rest of you, but just the trust and respect I have for this guy goes a long way to making the jacket being worth 700. But that's just me.
