I have just seen Mystery of Blues the first time.
The leather Jacket Ford wears looks like an TOD (smaller Pockets)
with other pocket placement. Is it a Wested ?
I'm not sure about it being from ToD, I never really studied it at length. I always figured it was a left over Last Crusade jacket, as that was the most recent film to have been made, and it's probably the same Hat and Jacket that Ford paraded around in at the press-junket for the DVD release. It seems like they have a ready to wear surplus hat and jacket somewhere at Lucasfilm that they bring out for stuff like that. I could be wrong though, as I never looked for the tell-tale details.
This has been discussed before on other threads and other sections. I believe the general consenus was it was his LC Gear, as it was the most recently available, but he threw in his "winter gear" of gloves, scarf, and cardigan. If you watch it closely, you'll notice the whip is hanging on his web belt, and he doesn't have a gunbelt on. As well as a Whoops with a rather modern Walkee Talkee in his back pocket...

Looks to me like they're riding up a little bit, judging from the folds in the leather above the pockets, plus Ford is sort of hunched over. I'm not sure if the placement is bad or it's just the way it is bunching up.
Either way, it was proven long ago that they just used gear from the Lucasfilm archives ca. "Last Crusade."

The pockets are placed in postion from the edge of each side of the jack. Since the left hand pocket is measured from the edge of the storm flap it will be closer to the center when the jacket is zipped up. With the jacket unzipped the pockets appear more evenly spaced. The picture brings out the difference. You can see how close the left pocket is to the zipper. If they spaced the pockets an equal distance from the center of the storm flap when the jacket is zipped, the right pocket would still appear farther back but the difference wouldn't be as noticable as it is when they space the pockets an equal distance from each edge.
Interesting indeed! Can anyone please provide me with a link to the pics of the press conference (with Karen, Kate, n' Allison) while promoting the DVD release? Thank you!

That's too cool...... to me anyway.

It sure was an adventure, and a mystery.
