My eldest daughter (D.Jones here) is wearing her 1997 Wested to work today in the guise of Indy herself.

Amazing how well that old lambskin jacket has aged, actually used at archaeological digs, school, and now to work as a D.Jones is a manager of a GameStop store. It's been around the block several times and KEEPS on chugging away.

It's not a real Raiders jacket until you wear it while being dragged behind a truck through the desert. People can spot those authentic road scrape marks a mile away! :lol:

From the looks of the picture, Indy would have ended that drag behind the truck with more "stones" in his pants than when he started....
