Its held up fantastic, and it's been my go to off-the hook coat since I got it as a gift for Christmas. I tore the seams of the inner lining a couple times but it was an easy fix. The only time the leather itself got a hole was in the cuff- my dog was overexcited and practically yanked the whole coat off!

Todd shifted his production focus after the last jacket run because the Star Wars franchise was on the move again. Last time I inquired about another run, Todd said he had no idea if or when they'd go into production again. That was around 2013 or so.Prodigal Son wrote:What ever happened to these jackets?
Wow. That was a long time ago. I don't guess they're coming back any time soon.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Our last order of jackets sat unsold for years and years. And we stopped ordering from that manufacturer because they were having problems with QC. We had to pull way too many out of spec jackets off the shelf and sell them at a loss. We hope to get back into the game, but now so many other vendors have begun producing good replicas that it's a bit of a crowded field. Back in 2009 it was a different story and we could definitely fill a gap. It's not off the table, though. We're thinking about doing some custom to-order jackets in other interesting leathers.Indiana Jeff wrote:Todd saw a spike in Indiana Jones related gear around the time of Crystal Skull and he put out some great items, but interest cooled fairly quickly and it wasn't cost effective for him to order the volumes he needed to and tie up capital in unsold inventory.
I hope when Indy 5 comes around Todd will find it cost effective to produce Indy gear again.

Yeah I saw it on the website a few weeks ago and was thinking the same thing. I wonder if the jacket will be any different than their previous offerings.backstagejack wrote:Todd's is taking pre-orders again for his jackets...... and there's nary a mention on this site?
Did I just miss it somewhere?

Yeah they definitely are. This guy did a review on it a few years ago and you can see in the video it is just like the photos on the website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3cEdAfRQtc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;shade88 wrote:Now, I might be misremembering, but I think that the screenshots Todd is using might be old ones from his last run.
How can I remember an old picture for Todd's jackets, but I can't remember what I had for breakfast a couple of days ago?Thee wrote:Yeah they definitely are.

Right? I can tell my wife the differences between every jacket in the movie (as if she cares) but I can't remember to get dish soap at the store.....shade88 wrote:

Good catch!
I agree! my first Todds is the best Indy jacket i have ownedTexan Scott wrote:Todd was at his best with the first few runs of jackets, sizing etc. This looks super grainy.
I hear you. I have to avoid mirrors these days.Michaelson wrote:I like what I see Todd!
If I hadn’t put on ballast around the middle, I’d still have the one I got from you years ago.
Ah well, age and time.

……………make the sleeves longer….
Sleeves can easily be shortened, but not lengthened.
Perhaps, but tall people need some love (or longer sleeves at least).xmasters wrote:I like the one you've just posted Todd.
I think the sleeves length looks correct. Fords sleeves were not more than 25". People are just not used to it.
