Just thought you guys would like to know what the copy of Sparks old Leather Concessionaires jacket looks like. This is NOT a copy of the Hero jacket that Tony had to duplicate, but rather a copy of a very early Leather Concessionaires jacket that Sparks owns. This is roughly a size 44 and feels like very thin lambskin. This is jacket 888/888. This jacket may have been in the same room as the Hero! Trippy! Enjoy guys!

Re: Sparks 888/888 Tony Nowak Raiders Jacket
Wasn't this just up for sale on ebay?
Re: Sparks 888/888 Tony Nowak Raiders Jacket
Really? I was under the impression that the Sparks jacket had narrow, straightish pocket flaps like the other early Westeds. Didn't we see it here? This one has scolloped, deep flaps with an almost Last Crusade look.

*Note* I changed the photo size in Photobucket and replaced the IMG links, but they still seem huge on my monitor. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Sparks 888/888 Tony Nowak Raiders Jacket
Pockets up to the armpits, but a beautiful jacket with real character. I saw it on Ebay but didn't give it much thought; I had meant to add it to
my 'watch' list to see how much it sold for.

Yes, I agree it isn't terribly SA, but the leather is so thin and soft so it's perfect for warmer days in So CalCM wrote:Really?

This one has scolloped, deep flaps with an almost Last Crusade look.
Plus, it just feels awesome to own a little piece of history!

I'm not talking about screen acuracy I'm talking about Sparks accuracy - I was under the impression that the actual Sparks jacket looked different, but I may well be wrong.

Re: Sparks 888/888 Tony Nowak Raiders Jacket
I think its kinda cool. Somewhat different then what we've seen..It would be interesting to see pics of the original jacket it was copied from..
