Actually, here's another good idea:

Send it to me and I promise I'll give it to Harrison myself the VERY next time I see him.

Okay.. that sounds good to me But My Wife the Boss would like to know when that is going to be?

I'd hate to break my promise to ya...
and frankly, these jackets look and sound SO good (and apparently SMELL so good TOO - Dang you, Weston!) that I don't know if I could hand it over even if Ford himself was reaching out to accept it!

Good point Mitch... You know I buddy around with Jeff Robin and He retired from being the VP of Corp. at William Morris Agency three years ago.. Wonder if he would help out with that mission ? I have his Home e-mail mail address... and we have been friends for a very long time!! I will let you know what He has to say about HF getting our new release.

PS I will send IndyDawg a copy of the e-mail .. I know he won't share Jeff Robins Pvt. e-mail address!!

I think so.. It is a jacket can be worn year around and a person can dress up and or just dress down and very much in style.. I would think in the next 90 days you will see a lot of people wearing this jacket.
This fall we will be coming out with the Striated Lamb along with the Calf both in a very rich brown and of course at the all new Affordable price for COW members and you have my word on that one.

PS Neil Coopers Patterns.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!

ProfessorHenryWJonesJr · Sat Jul 03, 2010 9:25 pm

Waitaminute...Striated Lamb and Calf Indy-style jackets in the Neil Cooper patterns along with the COW member prices?!?

$\:D/$

Sgt. Hack.....

Sensory overload when it comes to what U.S. Wings is producing this year. And if U.S. Wings receives the Indiana Jones license...

...along with the company's plans if they get the license....this is too much...in a GREAT way.

I rarely post on wings jackets threads, because they're usually out of my price range (or in my price range when I'm broke

) and I worry they won't fit me... not to mention, I don't own one so can't really contribute.... but dang! This latest news has me excited! I'm finding out about a jacket in advance, with time to start saving up! Any idea what the leather on these is going to look like? Ie, how dark they'll be, pre-distressed/aged/antique or new looking?

Hey, just thought I would let you all know, this jacket will withstand an spontaneous water war just fine. It soaks up the water like a sponge, but dries just fine and looks even better for it!

Weston · Post by **Weston** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 1:31 am

Ok, I don't think I've exceeded my quota for pictures on this thread yet, so here are a couple more.

Here's one at the river with the family a couple days ago.

And here's one I took tonight. I know it's a little blurry, but I think it still shows the wrinkles and grain definition the jacket has gained in a very short time.

Indakin · Post by **Indakin** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 2:26 am

looks great weston, seeing the jackets progress is definitely keeping me wanting my large size when its ready.

Holt · Post by **Holt** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 6:52 am

love the first picture! Jacket lools great!!

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 7:50 am

The collar is breaking in nicely, too! Weston, you even wear the cap well. Ball caps look goofy on me, so I usually donate my caps to folks. Now, if I could swap the cap out for an aviator's scarf instead...

Sarge said I should have my snapless jacket in a few weeks. It can't get here soon enough. Who cares that we're having record-breaking heat?

Tremolo · Post by **Tremolo** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 8:08 am

Looks fantastic Weston! Now that the jacket is getting some wrinkles it looks even better than before.

Mitch LaRue · Post by **Mitch LaRue** » Fri Jul 09, 2010 8:12 am

Weston, my friend... it not only looks like that jacket was made specifically for you...
It looks like you were MADE to wear that jacket!

It makes for a PERFECT match!

Okay, I home alone. watching ''le tour de france'' and came to think of it how nobody has showed of the HERO jackets with the gear.

well for all of you who is wondering about how it looks with the gear. here it is!

sorry for my mad face, but hey! Indy is gotta look serious right

JC1972 · Post by **JC1972** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 9:35 am

Holt,
Looks great with the gear and by itself.

Did you darken it, ie add Pecard's? Or is that how it came or the lighting?

Holt · Post by **Holt** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 9:37 am

thanx.

this is pretty much its true colors iin normal daylight. in direct sunlight it is lighter and more rusty.

love the color!

Does anyone have a idea how much the Antique Cowhide
Indy-style Hero Jacket weighs? Thanks for your help!

Holt · Post by **Holt** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 2:25 pm

not much. I was really surprized about how light it was. feels like the weight of lamb

Post by **Michaelson** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 2:29 pm

I thought someone posted in the neighborhood of a little over 4 pounds. In comparison, the New Zealand lambskin was around 2.5 pounds.

Weston and Indiana Holt, great jackets! They fit you guys really well

crismans · Post by **crismans** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 9:44 pm

It falls between a Todd's and the Nowak CS (or the Wings CE--same leather) if you held any of those for comparison. It's light for a cowhide.

Weston · Post by **Weston** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 11:15 pm

Holt that jacket looks absolutely perfect with the rest of the gear. You said before, and I agreed, that this is the jacket Ford should wear in Indy 5. To me, that picture really shows why that should be!

Weston

crismans · Post by **crismans** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 11:53 pm

Little late with this, Weston, but you're jacket looks really great on you. The antique cow is a really special jacket.

Sorry Dawg, I had to pick on someone and she picked you! Anyways, I went to order my Hero jacket yesterday and she said NO! I weeped why and then she opened my closet and counted 17 leather jackets. I said sooo like John Wayne, but to no avail. I am allowed the authentic Indy in the fall as my last(yeah right)because she knows I have been searching for years. My point is(she is not watching) My brother(with my money) is getting me the new wings cow for mi birthday! Side swipe!! I cant wait to be on the wings web with the rest of ya(more of a crystal Indy). $\:D/$ Cheers my friend.

P.S. I forgot to add, do you know the average woman spends $50,000.00 on shoes in there lifetime! Im getting stuff for a few jackets ??

Indydawg · Post by **Indydawg** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 4:43 pm

No sweat, man....

That's GOOD to hear, Gringo! Where there's a will....there's a way, right?!

And CONGRATS on the military jackets making it out, Sarge...just looked at 'em on the site and they look FABULOUS!!!!

High Regards!
