Which company makes the most accurate Crystal Skull Jacket

Post by DiCatania »

Just like the subject reads, who makes the most screen accurate Crystal Skull Jacket. Since the original maker has passed away who is the next runner up? Thanks in advance.

U.S. Wings Collector's Edition Signature Series jacket uses leather from the same tannery as the Crystal Skull jackets, but the pattern has differences.

Wested's LC/CS in Novapelle looks pretty bang on to me.

Remind me who was credited with making the Crystal Skulls jacket.

Thought it was Wested/Peter?

Tony Nowak. Peter was in the running but didn't get the contract.

True Peter and company did not make the jacket, but their current LC/CS in pre-distressed cow hide is pretty darned good! W>

Okay, so Wested LC/CS in pre-distressed hide is the way to go?

I currently have a custom Wested LC/CS in Copper Novapelle and I think it's really close to what we see screen. I had an off the rack in pre-distressed hide. It was a nice jacket but if your going for a Crystal Skull look then I would recommend custom copper novapelle.

My last crusade custom is in copper Novapelle. If I get another jacket then I want to get it in a different leather type. My Hero is in shrunkin lamb. :-k

I like the look of the the dark brown novapelle over the copper color, but I like darker browns in general.

I don't mind mentioning Belsaff at all, but the question was, who makes the best now... And as far as I know, Belstaff doesn't offer the Indy jacket any more. :TOH:

You're right, Nowaks turn up now and again, but I haven't seen a Belstaff Indy in a couple years.
