Did anyone ever find this jacket?
Remember this photo that came out in Empire Magazine?
http://www.wonderfulmachine.com/blog/wp ... n-ford.jpg
I think I remember seeing some threads about this jacket, but I can't remember if it was ever found. It's a real nice jacket. Did anybody ever find the maker? Maybe Indy Magnoli can help us out.
It looks like a modified A-2 with zippered pockets on the sleeves. Doesn't seem too hard to make a copy.
MODS:
I didn't know if I should post this in the Leather Jacket forum or Lao Che's Table. If it's in the wrong place, I apologize and please move it to the proper forum.

I was watching The Tonight Show a couple nights ago and Leno was wearing either the same jacket or one identical to it during a Jaywalking segment. I don't know who makes it, but it is a nice jacket.

Looks like a replica of the pre/early war, horse hide A-2 to me. There are several manufacturers about.

Re: Did anyone ever find this jacket?
It´s definitely not a replica of any government issued WWII A-2. Fords Jacket has penpockets on the sleeve and press studs on the windflap instead of a hook and eye on the collar.
Seems to be a modern day civil version of the A-2 and two sizes too big on Ford.

I think it's just the way he is. Right shoulder lower than the left. That or he saw Holt's photos and knew it's the way forward.Yojimbo Jones wrote:Look! And one side is lower than the other!

Not when he's around an airplane. He's more serious about that than even his acting career.

Re: Did anyone ever find this jacket?
All I can say is: Check out that zipper pull!
Re: Did anyone ever find this jacket?
Im starting to wonder if this is how jackets hang on Ford.
I mean you clearly can see the right collar side hangs lower then the left.
and this is exactly how the leather jackets hangs on him in many, many scenes thru out 4 Indiana jones movies

Re: Did anyone ever find this jacket?
Had a tailor tell me that most everyone has one shoulder higher than other, one arm longer than other etc....goes back to bone structure,posture, old injuries, genetics etc.....binkmeisterRick wrote:That's a really interesting point, Holt.Indiana Holt wrote:Im starting to wonder if this is how jackets hang on Ford.

Re: Did anyone ever find this jacket?
well Ford did have a car accident and he had a Hernia during TOD this could all be playing part in that
Re: Did anyone ever find this jacket?

Yeah, but he had the jacket-sliding-off-one-side issue as early as Raiders - I guess if anyone's watching Star Wars, etc. it's something to look for.Hatch wrote:Dutch , wasn't that a herniated disc ? which fits even better into the posture issue......
Does his little black Han Solo vest do this?
