Very nice looking jacket! I like the look of this leather; looks worn in already! Does it feel roomy or snug for a large? Thanks for sharing!

[indyfan1234]

well i have a xl long in a us wings goat skin and i love the fit of my new cowhide. well its a size smaller and not a long. the length is actually at a good length for this one my goat skin is longer and that was my main reason i wanted another jacket. arms have alot of room but that could be my arms are like a twig lol. the wear reminds me of crystal skull where parts looked new like mine but there are parts that look worn hard. the jacket is very light and thin and much lighter and thinner then my goatskin indy us wings. only disappointment is no press snaps like in last crusade and skull. but on the site it has em. thinking of going to a jacket place and have them added. would gold or silver be more screen accurate. cant remember which they were. i thought gold.

[Indyzane]

Yes Gold, Brass ones are the correct color. I'm sure you could have it done for less than $20.

Nice lookin' jacket. Love the grain of the leather!

I remember when the Heros were being made that some were done with snaps, some without. (per members request). Seems you got a snapless one.

Like Zane said, shouldn't be more than $20 to have them installed (probably less).
Any place that works with leather should be able to do it for you. Try a cobbler/shoe repair place (as they are the easiest to find).

Very nice looking jacket...

Yea I'm gonna go to my local mall in west Covina. There is a leather jacket place I'll start there there are also shoe places and stuff that do alterations so I'll be doing that trip soon.

Hey, another West Covina boy!
I was born there and lived there on and off up till 8 years ago.
My dad owned the shop on the corner of Azusa and Cypress.

Which mall there has a good shoe repair still. There used to be a good one at the Fasion Plaza (or whatever it is called now), but I don't know if it is still there.
I need to have my Todd's boots resoled.

[indyfan1234]

well i live in covina but closest mall is west covina mall to me lol

I used to go to that shopping mall all the time to grab some Round Table pizza and hit the arcade. Even saw Raiders and TOD at the nearby Wescove Theater ( since bulldozed into a parking lot ). Back on topic - very nice jacket, indyfan! The variation and look of the leather in these things is fantastic. I wear mine a lot now that colder weather has come - it's starting to break in nicely now with some cool wrinkling in the sleeves.
