Wither the Zipper?
What color was the zipper of Indy's Jacket in ROLA? Brass or nickel plated? Did it change in any of the others?
Re: Wither the Zipper?
I think the first batch of jackets had brass zippers, but after usage the brass zippers changed color. They looked like nickel zippers and so the rest of the jacket's came with nickel zippers.
Re: Wither the Zipper?
The zippers were aluminum (and thus silver in color). At least some of them were painted to look like brass. Some of the paint wore off leaving the silver color showing through.
So silver and brass are both "screen accurate."

And yet for ToD they went with a humongous bright aluminum zipper. No concern for too much shine there.
