STEELE & JONES Jacket, ((customer review))

Look no further than Steele & Jones!!! Their WORK is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMINAL!! I ordered their Last Crusade style called The "Cazadora '38" (They also have a Raiders style). They put so much detail into this jacket with their custom distressing techniques to make it look exactly like the actual screen used jacket, which is on display in the Smithsonian Museum. They put their heart and soul, along with the passion we all share for the Indiana Jones movies, into their work!! Before I made my final decision, I did about a year of constant back and forth research on many different jacket makers, reading cutomer reviews, looking at photos ect. to find the perfect jacket. After all, I was only going to make a jacket purchase one more time ((( I had previously owned a Raiders style jacket from A DIFFERENT COMPANY - won't say who - about 4 years ago that I wasn't really happy with... I ended up losing that jacket))).. Anyway, I started searching about a year ago and finally found Steele & Jones. I had read about Wested being hit or miss along with other big names... but when reading through reviews for Steele & Jones, I never found any complaints or dislikes about them, so I decided to go with them. I CHOSE WISELY!! ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFUL WORK!!! And their customer service is BEYOND all expectations. Not only do they go the extra mile, but they make you feel comfortable with any questions or concerns you might have along the way!! I can't say enough good things about them!! All of this is why I give them a perfect score of 10/10!!!
There might be a long wait time, but ITS DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!

Great post... absolute pleasure watching you open up that treasure. I've been wearing mine almost every day for the last month and am reminded how delighted I am with it too. One of the nicest things is to not have to worry about scuffing it! All the best. :TOH:

What a great video! It was great to see your face when you opened it up, totally sums it up for most of us I'm sure when open it up our jackets! PS: you're daughter reminded me so much of mine - they always like to be involved (on their terms of course!)
What a great jacket and it fits PERFECTLY on you!

Wow looks incredible! And a perfect fit too. I'm waiting on my order for a LC jacket too. Hope to get it any time now.

I went through the same exact process, looking at all the LC options for a year or two. I too was worried about Wested. Once Steele and Jones came out with this I had to pull the trigger.

Wow it looks great and I'm sure your going to enjoy it. I think they have the best jackets out there especially for the money, I ordered my first jacket a Raiders in thin cowhide and I love it. Wasn't sure about the fit had to get use to it since it is different from other jackets I have owned, but everyone thought it looked great. Diego knows what he is doing no doubt. I plan on ordering a LC from them before next winter, I want it to be a little looser so I can layer under it with heavy sweat shirt or hoodie, while I can do that with my Raiders its a little snug for that, so I will use it in Spring and Fall like I do now. Congrads and keep up the great work Diego.

Hot dang, that's a masterpiece of a jacket! If you own any other leather jackets, you might want to find a new home for them. You won't want to wear anything else.

I love that black satin liner, looks great! They do a wonderful job with the distressing. Mine was spot on and the fit was perfect. Yours looks the part. Congratulations sir!
