What kind of leather jacket would he wear in cold weather?

This is more of a creative fantasy topic..

What kind of jacket do you think Indy would wear in like a REALLY cold environment (yeah I know he still wore his lambskin in Raiders but practically what would it be)?

I got the idea when I saw a comic (something of gods) where he was wearing one of the thicker fur collared leather bomber jackets.

I thought maybe it would be a good idea to take his (Ford's/Solo's) coat from Empire Strikes Back as an inspiration.

Yow, RC! I think that may be a bit too much fur. Myself, thermals under a long sleeve shirt and a lambskin jacket have been perfectly adequate down to at least 3 fahrenheit so far this winter.

I think he'd probably go for a sheepskin bomber jacket (something like a B3) although in the latest comic he had more of a western sheepskin thing going on. Something like this:

I refuse to even watch the third one. My mom said it was horrible too.

It's bad enough that the son was like 10 in the second one.. now he's like 42 and the parents look the same (well except for Eve who is just totally different.. )

Yes, it was pretty awful.

We have quite some discussions on an Indy winter jacket around here - completely with pictures, links and even a Magnoli version of a sherling Indy jacket. Just try to search for "winter jacket".

By the way, the jacket he wears in the "Tomb of Gods" comic did not look like pilot's jacket to me ... more like a fur coat (it's kinda long).

I always thought the jacket was blue..

Not the greatest pic but it looks like brown to me.

I know I have seen action figures in both blue and brown.

Wow...I want to know who made that Hoth replica above. It looks great!

Uh, I don't know about the movie version but the action figure coat and the coat in the comics was blue.
