My Magnoli Raider after a week of wear

Post by djd »

It's looking better and better I think! Developing some good Raiders type creases

Looks great! More and more Raiders everyday.

How is the fitin the arms, specifically the arm holes? In the first picture it looks like it might be a little tight or is it just the way your arm is turned? Just wondering. Nice jacket, you wear it well. Some day a Magnoli will be mine...

Very nice jacket that does indeed keep looking better and better. It's a testament to Magnoli's jackets. :tup:

Thanks all. :TOH:

No the arm holes feel fine to me - not tight or uncomfortable in any way. It's quite an '80's fit' as far as the arms go but that's what I wanted as I feel it captures the look better. To be honest I don't think these pictures do it justice. It looks better in the flesh (honest!). I really can't fault it as a Raiders jacket and as much as I like to spend money it's difficult to imagine a better one for what I want

Yup. And Magnoli always seems to be forgotten in the Wested/Novak/Todd 'what jacket shall I get?' debate... :Plymouth:

Actually in those threads Magnoli's get brought up and asked about fairly often.
People who own them don't usually say much. I'm glad to see you have. Now we know the Magnoli Raider is being made from a new better pattern.
I'd like to see photos of the other Magnoli Indy jackets. ToD, LC especially.

I'd love to see an example of his TOD as well. I've really been considering getting that jacket from Magnoli for variety's sake.

Thanks for the back jacket pics. I like the sliders that Magnoli uses. I think that some might say that they are not 100% SA, I think that most will say that they should tri-glides, but I like what Mag. uses.
I do not mean to to be a pest but could you take a close up of the sliders on your jacket sometime?...
Are they brass or silver colored?

Silver - as you say not SA but look good and are big enough to be able to pass the strap back through (as in the pic above)

Great looking jacket, DJD! :TOH:

There's an evil part of me that wants to inquire about your bottom lip though... :Plymouth:

Looking sharp bro ;)

I like the last one, you looked puzzled what to do with the idol now that you've obtained it, don't worry Beloch will sort that out for you ...

And here was I thinking he was looking at his reflection in the idol, going "What's that on my bottom lip?" :-s

Sorry DJD, couldn't resist... :[

No offence, mate.... ;)

LOL. I've had silly facial hair since my late 20's yet somehow I always think of it as a temporary aberration!
