Re: Bill Kelso Fortune And Glory Jacket
Holy cow that distressed pic looks almost exactly like the Noel Howard TOD jacket in this picture
How thin is the leather? This part of TOD always stood out to me as the leather looks very thin here

I was lucky enough to try on that Noel Howerd jacket - fit perfectly too! Mind you, that was over 20 years ago!

That jacket looks so good! I don't have this one, but I can attest that BK Mfg makes a great jacket!

Yes. From the plane to the village. Then on the elephants. Then again at the campfire. And approaching the stones.Thee wrote:Was that particular jacket seen on screen? if so what scenes was it in?whiskyman wrote:I was lucky enough to try on that Noel Howerd jacket - fit perfectly too!

Re: Bill Kelso Fortune And Glory Jacket
Just so you know, pretty sure Kelso doesn’t do any distressing. That there is by the skilled hands of Knibs himself.
Re: Bill Kelso Fortune And Glory Jacket
So which is the better TOD, a Steele & Jones or a Kelso?

Re: Bill Kelso Fortune And Glory Jacket

Any particular method?

Re: Bill Kelso Fortune And Glory Jacket
Thank you sir.
Been messing around with my ToD S&J
Didn't like how it looked with the sand paper, the grey undertone bothers me.
After wearing my Truck Chase from S&J with the lovely brown undertones.
So I hit with brown pecards, and some light distressing and that's it.
May think about selling it and get another, but this time see if they can do it with the brown undertones.
We'll see.

Your ToD jacket is one of the last we did with old Lambskin stock.
We now use the same kind of leather as per RAIDERS jackets.
Only slightly thinner.
With brown undertones.

Re: Bill Kelso Fortune And Glory Jacket
If you do, please start a new thread regarding the S&J distressing, as this one is for the BK jacket.
Thanks!
