Visit with Tony

Post by knibs7 »

I visited Tony 2 weeks ago and I got to try on the "Zero" jacket. He told me that it was made really poorly and showed me why...

The first pic is how it SHOULD be.

Image

Then he had me just move my arms around for about 5 seconds and THIS happened... (this is what you see in Raiders)

Image

Then I put my TN CS jacket on and did the same test...

Before moving around...
Image


AFTER moving around...
Image

This is just to show you the difference between a well constructed jacket and a poorly constructed jacket.

And just a couple more pics...

With our CS jackets
Image

And the Winner...

Great demonstration, Knibs. But, IMO, if a jacket ends up with the excellent look of the Raiders jacket as in picture 2, then it is WELL constructed.

That´s another way to look at it, but I simply mean it´s well constructed for the purpose of looking good, just like the original Raiders jacket.

Good pics and great looking jackets, but does Tony know we stopped popping collars here in the U.S. before Last Crusade even came out? :lol: I guess it's a product of his age. Hey, at least he doesn't have a mullet. That would be too much to handle.

I noticed in your Bazaar thread you had some scraps of leather from your visit. You mentioned buying them but did you mean to type give? Are you really going to attempt to sell leather scraps?

I noticed the exact same thing with your old goat Raiders;) It falls off the shoulders too. But like you said when I wear a shirt, now in the movie harrison has the NH shirt so that leaves more room as it is a thin shirt.

Great pics knibs. Hey, your eye looks good... no lingering problems I hope.

I agree, the off-the shoulder look provides the vertical creases by the arms ... a really nice worn look.

I agree the "off the shoulder" pose looks best. For some reason, though, he looks "fatter" in the 2nd photo like he's sticking out his gut. (Look at his shirt). HF looks thin even with the off-the-shoulder pose.

Shouldn't matter what you are wearing under it. It will want to fall off, you don't have to move your arms even, just move, or stand still, and there it will go.

So knibs, did you buy anything? If so, what? How long were you in the store?

I'll be going down there, hopefully, in the next couple of weeks. I can hardly wait.

well a popped collar is SA :lol:

I didn't see knibs post about leather scraps, but it is possible he bought a bag of leather scraps from Tony and wants to sell some of it.

The reflection of the back of the jacket in the mirror in the second photo is great

Why would anyone buy a bag of leather scrap? I mean, if it's like the scrap piece I had what could you do with it?

No Tony gave me a bag and told me to ask if anyone would be interested in buying some from him because he didn't want to just waste the leather.

People buy bags of leather scrap all the time. Visit a Tandy leather store or a craft type store, you'll see.
I'm sure Tony has all sorts of leather scrap, not just shrunken lamb.

That make sense too. I'm sure he won't have a problem selling it, just maybe not here.

Thanks for the pics, Knibs! I might be heading to SoCal in June, and definitely going to try on the zero jacket if Tony lets me :)

My dad used to buy bags of scrap leather. He got them for pretty much nothing and would sew them to make work out gloves for light and heavy punching bags. Each piece he needed for the gloves was actually pretty small. He doesn't make them anymore, but when he first retired he made them all the time and they were top notch. He always had someone pestering him to make a pair for them.
