wow thats great distressing. Im guessing magnoli dyes his accordingly so you can distress it with the right colorations.

Very good job on the distressing! And I agree that we need more Magnoli jackets around here. Everything I've seen has looked fantastic.

Holt,
Outstanding job on the distressing!

Just enough to capture the LC look without being overly done.
By far my favorite to date.

The distressing is fantastic. Sorry I couldn't help myself with my other post. I would have never guessed right. Congrats on a great job.

Nice. Your distressing blows away the screen-worn stuff I've seen by a mile.

Looks great Holt, how'd you do it? Or people can send you their jackets for a fee for you to do it? Could be some extra work on the side for you.

CM · Post by CM » Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:54 am

Look at those pockets!!! I think Mags makes the best LC's I have seen. But why did ya have to go scratch it up so much?

Holt, what is the front length, from the base of the collar to the bottom hem?

Post by **Holt** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 7:44 am

thanx my friends.

I used sandpaper, water treatment and a litte pecards to blend out the aging.

most magnoli jacket owners will agree that the lamsbkin is extremly soft and buttery but after giving it a ''make over'' it really toughens up the leather up.

Post by **Holt** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:30 am

here is it on me.

this is the only pic of me wearing it. as you can tell Im standing in the sun so the distressing details is hard to see.. but you can see the fit and cut of the jacket. LC to a T.

Outstanding!

I, myself, am only weeks away from ordering my own LC jacket from Magnoli, and plan on distressing it as such. Question: Is this the Dark Brown or Medium Brown and which option do you recommend for the most SA colour - especially in terms of achieving the brick-coloured undertones when sanding/distressing?

knibs7 · Post by **knibs7** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:27 am

Great job Holt!!! What about the pockets though? Shouldn't they be a little more scalloped?

Tremolo · Post by **Tremolo** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 10:33 am

What a great looking jacket Holt!
I really like the horizontal distressing mark on the stormflap, very Smithsonian-like!
Now it´s a perfect LC-jacket!

Post by **Holt** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 10:58 am

general impresson?

its just lamsbkin so I would expect it to hold up like lamb. it aint thick. more on the thin side. thicker then todd's but slightly thinner then authenic lambskin from wested. the construction is 1 class. you wll see it when you get the X jacket.

hehe. you noticed

this was one thing I really looked forwad to replicate. its just a small mark but it stands out in a way. with this it really gives the jacket more LC magic.

I just updated the first post.

I finally found that bottle with redish ''brick'' colored dye I had been looking for since yesterday. I took a cloth with some dye and gentle went over the seams with it. NOW this jacket is LC perfection.

So Holt, I'm guessing this means you've been taken out of Michaelson's will, now that you've crossed over to the 'dark side ' of the distressing arts......

Post by **Holt** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 6:25 pm

lol.

reason for this distressing is becasue this jacket is allready destroyed.

it has a huge gash in the leather that I glued shut.

so, after reacting to Holt's jacket ..

then the next question is - how does a smart-alec, 20 year veteran private eye from Canada get to be an on-set consultant??

orb · Post by **orb** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 3:26 am

Is it just me or does the brass snap on the lower part of the jacket looks really odd?
The snaps should be brown anyway. There's also a huge gap on the back of the jacket on each side.
Was this requested or is this the Magnoli cut?
Good jacket but I've seen better LCs.

Regards

Post by **Holt** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 7:14 am

wow. talk about being a nitpick.

FYI, the light in the bathroom is reflected in the brass snap.

and the gap, yes there is a gap, but it aint huge!

I have to agree… sometimes this so-called need for a 'perfect' prop replica can result in the fun being taken right out of what should be a fun hobby…

That said, I think this is a simply jaw-dropping interpretation. My congratulations mate and my thanks to you for sharing.

I think maybe some others are interested to know that some Companies aren't that exactly when it's about SA.
This jacket isn't just a bargain. They pricey. But hey no hard feelings it's still a nice jacket!

The owner must like it! That's what matters in the end.

I've seen your work on the Grail Diary, so don't be callin' anyone a "nitpick"!

Seriously though, the distressing on this really makes me want to get one for myself!

Great jacket. I don't mind those gaps: when worn it Looks exactly as a LC.
The collar is just perfect.

Weston · Post by **Weston** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 8:29 pm

That is some stunning work Holt! As you know, I don't distress my jackets, but if I ever did decide to go that route, I'd be bugging you for tips every step of the way. It even fits like an LC jacket should! In a way, the distressing reminds me of ToD, perhaps even more than LC, as it looks like you paid more attention to the panels of the jacket as opposed to the seems. Hey, thats just me. Incredible jacket!

''NEW PICTURES''

Holt, I really like your work! Ship it to me right away!

The first photo on Mag's website looks spot on LC. Which option did you choose?

Post by **Holt** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 7:29 pm

Thanks. I cant remember exactly... I think when I ordered a jacket I just sent Tony an email (we are good friends) saying I want an LC. he knows what I want and he took it from there. never selected an option when ordering jackets nor shirts. Just emails..

I believe he selects them with A,B,C and D.. so, LC should be style C as the LC movie is number 3 in the row.
