About the sizing. I asked for 1:1 HF sizing except for a few inches added to the jacket length. It's around 25 Inch. So just an inch shorter then my other Indy Jackets (TN CS, TOD).

Very cool... at first glance I thought it was a CS, but now I see that you added jacket length, which looks pretty coolorb wrote:Ah good to have the forum back
Meanwhile my TN Raiders Jacket in shrunken lambskin has arrived and Tony did again a perfect job.
I asked for a more smooth leather without too much grain and I really got a chamaelon like jacket.
One panel is really grainy and the other panel is nearly smooth. I love that! The leather itself is really much heavier then the Wested lambskin. The jacket nearly has the same weight as the TN CS jacket in cowhide. Here a few pics. I will post better pictures where everyone can see the leather much better.

Looks great David. Did you specify any differences for it or just size?DAVIDUGLY wrote:Nowak Raiders, but the way I like it.
Tony is a genius and now the only guy allowed to make my jackets,
Indy or not!

Of course I'm reading this! Thanks for the pics, CD! I really like the second jacket, and the horizontal lines!!! Also look at the Raven Bar jacket! Very nice! When are you getting a TN LC!Castor Dioscuri wrote:

Baldwyn, I don't know if you'll be reading this, but here are the comparison shots of my two 'Indy I' Nowaks!
Thanks Baldwyn! Always glad to be of help, and I'm really sorry for always being late in my responses! Hmm, never even realized that the Raven jacket had those markings as well, now it looks like thisis turning out to be screen-accurate for at least three scenes!Baldwyn wrote:Of course I'm reading this!

IndyAl, that is a very nice CS! I love the richness of the colour.
Well, they're very likely the same jacket (as mentioned in the off the shoulder thread)Castor Dioscuri wrote:

TN LC? I'll have to get right on that just as soon as Tony finishes up my current jacket!
Which jacket will this be? You and orb must be in competition for who has the most TN jacketsCastor Dioscuri wrote:.......

No, it´s not pecarded. The jacket came this way from Tony's workshop. The photos were taken 2 minutes after extracting it of the bag.Castor Dioscuri wrote:That's a really good looking jacket... But out of curiousity, have you pecarded it in that picture, or is it as is? Because it has a really good clean/distressed look to it!
Which adds to the irony, since while I still have yet to find a near-100% match to a LC jacket (which was my favorite Indy jacket coming into this hobby), I now have two Raiders jackets that are dead ringers for the screen-used jacket (considering that I never was really interested in the Raiders jacket). And I agree, that jacket is a fantastic jacket to have, considering how it seems to run around all those iconic Indy moments!Baldwyn wrote: Well, they're very likely the same jacket (as mentioned in the off the shoulder thread) Definitely a good one to have it look like!
Perhaps a better question would be what I'm planning for my NEXT jacket order... No, but seriously, how can you possibly resist those ridiculously amazing jackets?Baldwyn wrote: Current jacket?!
That really is impressive! Wear it in good health, and welcome to the club!IndyAl wrote:No, it´s not pecarded. The jacket came this way from Tony's workshop.

It's okay - I'm holding his SA whip for him, it's just hard to tell. He's actually got one of those cloth whips with the plastic handle that plays the Raiders march when you swing it.Indiana G wrote:shane, great pic!!!!! somebody tell anothony his whip isn't SA.........APRIL FOOL'S!!!!
Well darn. I thought if is was good enough for THAT man, I'd sure go to the clearance rack at Wal-Mart and get me one!McFly wrote: He's actually got one of those cloth whips with the plastic handle that plays the Raiders march when you swing it.
