Yes! Like! Doesn't seem quite as weathered as the screen version, but maybe that's just the light. I like it, nonetheless. I haven't weathered my special-order LC cowhide yet cause I'm a-sceared...
Nice job!
Nice job!

Re: Smithsonian Last crusade jacket
Based on the pictures, it has a natural distressing feel to it, as opposed to the "pinstripe" over distressing of most LC jackets I've seen. Well done!
Re: Smithsonian Last crusade jacket
Thanks bud.
it was what I was aiming at. I mean, I always loved the fake distressing of the LC jacket but I wanted to slightly upgrade it to a more natural feel but still have the look of the real one.

Like it! I have always wanted to handle a HH Indy jacket... And yes, when it comes to leather distressing less is more!!! I wish they had taken that into account with the LC.
Re: Smithsonian Last crusade jacket
PERFECT LC Jacket! Well done!

Re: Smithsonian Last crusade jacket
I just got my baby back from the tailors shop.
I asked if they could reinforce the jacket from the inside. pluss touching up some stitching areas on the outside. like the flaps, shoulders, etc. I wanted this jacket to be even tougher, in case I wanted to be dragged by a truck anyways, they removed the lining and looked at it to see if they could work with it and they could. I got her back yesterday and they did a very fine job on it.
now I have to remove the tags in it to make it more Indy/film like.
I really missed this jacket, I can't wait to start wearing her agian!
once I get all my LC gear I'll do a few outside photos.

Re: Smithsonian Last crusade jacket
Maybe a dumb question but I'm interested in replacing my Todd's raiders jacket with a more durable Wested LC like this. Is this Jacket Goat, Lamb or the pre-distressed hyde?
Jacket looks great!

Re: Smithsonian Last crusade jacket
Cowhide or horsehide has been the report to date.
