look no further boys and girls...if you are a fan of the ToD jacket then get one from my good friend Magnoli

take a look how the collar sits on this jacket...exacly like the one in the movie.the pockets, color, hide, length, slimmer torso cut, the zipper, collar,
backpannel, yoke, side straps..etc...all PERFECT!!

here is how it looks like with more gear.
I think this jacket rocks! the look of the jacket with gear makes it look even more ToD
see how it stays open around the chest and slim in the torso.....this is how it looks on me all the time...just like in the movies
wow Magnoli...you did it!
ohh sorry for my bored face...it's really hot tonight...and my head is loaded with school work.

I take it that's lamb then?
If you wouldn't mind and could find the time, would you mind to find the time to shoot some shots with jacket shut and being outside, non-flash?
What's the colour compared to authentic Wested colour?
Ah, gear talk, t'is poetry in a sence. Ah!
It does look great on ya', Holt!

The cut looks great Holt but on my screen, the colour looks black.
Having seen Noel Howard's original Temple of Doom jacket, I can tell you it was a lot lighter than how your jacket is appearing in these pics. I've got a pic that I took of my Wested lambskin next to the Temple of Doom jacket. Here it is:

Took the words right out of my mouth. That jacket looks great, but appears too dark to be SA. Most of the screenshots from TOD I was looking at over on TheRaider show the jacket to be much lighter in color. Perhaps some heavy distressing would make it look more SA. How does the jacket look and fit zippered?Chris_King wrote:The cut looks great Holt but on my screen, the colour looks black.

Lighting, filters and distressing can do amazing things to our perception of color. This screenshot that I took from Terminator 2: Judgment Day illustrates that a black jacket can appear very brown - just like a brown hat can appear gray.
Not to say that the Magnoli jacket is/is not the "correct" color. I realize that the NH jacket in that photo is taken in the same lighting as the Wested, but it is a NEW(ish) Wested. I would expect a newer jacket to be darker.
I think the jacket cut, color and details of Magnoli Clothiers jacket look fantastic. Now if someone wants to sandblast, soak, acetone, wire brush and otherwise distress a Magnoli jacket, then we can start talking apples to apples. Any takers?
Or better, if you can get a picture of the NH jacket when it was brand new - on the hanger...

Great lookin' jacket Holt, perhaps a little too dark but still very cool. To be more accurate I think Magnoli should start including heavily grained leather at the upper sleeves of his ToD jackets. Those pieces are often discarded but are very characteristic of the movie jacket. I have a custom Todd's costume jacket that I call my ToD jacket, even though it's essentially a raiders pattern it still has a very similar look to the jacket from the ToD movie mostly because of the prewashed lambskin, but also because of the fit.

Sooooo...not one vendor has yet attempted to replicate the real TOD side vent configuration?
The smaller pockets, pointier collar tips and lower yoke isn't all that makes up the TOD jacket. Attention must be paid to all details. It's just not a TOD jacket until it's really a TOD jacket.
Overall though, it looks nice.

Looks too like Magnoli should make a double stitched seam where he's got that simple one stitch one, running down the side. Holt your jacket is awesome so don't take it wrong..I'd love to have it myself. Just noticing the differences. So is the bottom of the vent configured like a normal Indy jacket or like the pictures agent5 posted?

thanks
here are some outside pictures of it.
I know many people here see it as a black color for a ToD jacket....but I love the color....
I have always liked the ToD jacket better as a darker jacket anyways..
like this:
if you take a look at the construction of this jacket you will see that it is amazing.I love the SA look of the collar, sleeves, torso fit.pockets.drape.everything!
Now!..who would not love a Magnoli SA ToD jacket?...
I dont know........

Jacket of Doom
I don't understand the objections. In many scenes the jacket looks black. It isn't actually black but it reads as black. And after the demise of three-strip Technicolor, what reads as black is either "Black" or "really-really Dark Brown".

I love the TOD jacket that you have; if at any point you get fed up with it then after alot of body building on my part .................I would be happy to take it off your hands.
You look happy with it and so you should be. I know that Tony has built this jacket; so it has got to be great.
I can see that the collars are spot on and the arm tightness and body fit is a very good replication.
I hope that one day I can get a good TOD jacket like yours.
God Bless you,
Paul.

I think that the jacket was proberbly made ot of completely battered Goat skin. The reason I say this is the jacket apears very tough but because the jacket could have been smashed up and beaten like a naughty child; then Goat shin could be the one.
I think that lamb could not have taken the type of distressing the jacket has; I mean the jacket looks like it has been used as a peice of armour.
I would love to know what you guys think too,
NEW DEBATE.

sorry to say Paul but it was either lamb or cow..not goat..all jackets from the films was Lamb and cow-(stuntjacket)
the Terry (stuntman) truck jacket from raiders was made of cowhide(at least thats what I have read) and that jacket was used in TOD..the hero jacket.
but I cant say it for sure..I need some confirming...just so I know the facts

I remember asking Noel Howard when I went to MBA 6 years ago and he told me straight that the the jacket was made from lamb. Fact. It was very stiff but that could be for the reason I stated above... it had also been sitting around for about 20 years.

Well you learn something new all the time. I had no idea to be honest, but I just thought logically Goat would be the one.
Thanks for making me more well informed. I just do not know how they got away with distressing Lamb in that way; impressive.
Failing that; my next choice of skin was gonna be Chipmonk

Your Raiders distressed jacket looks like something special; please tell me that you did not rip that one on barbed wire?
I love the fact that the wear and tear is in the right places.
I have not got the potatos to do that to my Raiders; but I can definately see why Gearheads do it now. That jacket has got to be the prize of your collection.
God Bless you and thank you for sharing the pictures.
