Wha? You can tell this how? Have you been to Chris' place and measured Ford at some point to come up with this conclusion?I would like to mention that the pants on the mannequin are about a size too small to be SA, also the shoes are definitely too small and the laces are perhaps slighty too short! Maybe that's what's confusing people...
Presenting Tony Nowak - Indy 1 jacket #27

I have to admit, I stopped listening when he said something about one Indy jacket being "more than enough." I didn't come here to read what I can just have my wife tell me.agent5 wrote:Maybe I didn't get it because I just woke up minutes before posting, but usually there's a smiley after a sentence when you're kidding.

guess you can tell her that 1 pair of black and 1 pair of brown shoes is more than enough as well........then command her to get in the kitchen and make you a nice mealBaldwyn wrote:I have to admit, I stopped listening when he said something about one Indy jacket being "more than enough."

I was just speaking for myself of course... ;-)Baldwyn wrote:I have to admit, I stopped listening when he said something about one Indy jacket being "more than enough."

It would honestly drive me insane to have multiple Indy jackets to choose from before stepping out of the house. That and the fact that my tender half probably thinks I'm already spending too much time with that jacket on my shoulders. Having said that, I really enjoy looking at the pics from Tony's latest offerings.
Even if you're on a diet, there's nothing wrong taking a peek at the menu
P.S. I apologize if some people didn't get the pants joke.
I got it too and thought it was funny. It's good to step back and poke a little fun at ourselves every now and then.
But it's the problem of the written word (smilies help some). I've said some stuff totally tongue in cheek, submit the post, and think "My, you're a clever, wicked little fellow." Only to check back later and have someone completely misread my meaning and think I'm a pompous jerk (which I am but I try to hide that fact on message boards).
When this occurs, only one smilie will do...

One question: WHYYY??? Why oh why? I think we've all agreed that it's almost (if not fully) perfect, and that it looks sooo good! Why then this "I'm selling it"??Chris_King wrote:Hi everyone,

Quite simply, I can't get used to the shrunken lamb that Tony has selected. Sure, it may be 100% accurate but in this case, I have to admit that I think I prefer my jacket to look "in person" the way it looks on screen.
Everything else on the jacket is superb - I just can't get used to the leather and I don't believe it will "grow on me" so it makes no sense to keep it when someone else out there may appreciate it more than me.
Believe me, in these difficult times I could do without losing $175 on something that is less than a month old. However, I don't know if anyone would be interested in paying the full price for it since it's been displayed on the mannequin so that's why I decided to put the price at $800. Hopefully someone will jump on it.

I see. Well, I can only agree that at that price, you should not have to "grow into" something... I'm sorry that you didn't like it thought, really am. I hope that you can get it sold for a fair price...Chris_King wrote:Quite simply, I can't get used to the shrunken lamb that Tony has selected.

I understand you. I threw on Raiders the other day, and saw the dino-hide ...in about 1/3 of the movie. It takes some looking though. Something in between your Todd's and Nowak would be perfect. That is one sweet jacket, nevertheless Chris.Chris_King wrote:Quite simply, I can't get used to the shrunken lamb that Tony has selected.

Hi Satipo,
I intentionally didn't have my name included in the inscription because I knew that if I decided to sell the jacket, it would be much harder if my name was in it. My jacket inscription reads as follows:
INDY'S
First Jacket
Limited Edition
L.E. #27 / 888
California, USA
By Tony Nowak

Comparing Dana to Shrunken Lamb?_ wrote:Just catching up on this thread... Well, I have to respect your reasons.
I had to make a quick trip out to Thousand Oaks this weekend for a wedding. We went to this little Brazilian place for dinner the night we arrived. Chels and I were "debating" the identity of a woman sitting at another table. Chels was right - it was Dana Delany. On TV she still looks hot. In person - even with the lights low? Yeah - not so much...
