I've put in a special request for snake surprise on a silver platter with fleur-de-lis pattern and 3.574 scalloped sides. ;-)

just curious, but anyone get theirs yet?...

yep! I got mine!!!!





just kidding.wonderfull thing isnt it? playing with others exitement.you should know.hehe ;-)

I'm hoping we'll see them by the end of November. Who will be the first to post pics?

I would guess that it will be KT first... He seems to have one of everything, so I am assuming he will get one of these new TODs as well... Of course, we all know about assuming...

Hey, Holt, just curious, I know it's OT but what do you think about TN Raiders? I know you possess a lot of great-looking jackets....are you getting one?

I dont have the money to spare right now.I thought I did,but something turned up,as usual.

I think the TN jacket looks really great.and if I was to get one I would have out of curiousity....I know its a hero jacket.but I dont think its the jacket what I call the hero...

I am having wested making me a new replacement jacket...so I dont know if I really need a TN.sometimes I find myself with to many jackets and non to wear. its funny,I cant decide which one is my favorite to wear.so I think its better for me to cut down and turn away from other jackets on the market....if I dont do that I will never have a well worn in jacket...


but w'll see ;-)

Please let this TOD jacket be 'the one'!
At the very least, we have seen the the jacket that we should be getting;
both in the original that is to be replicated, and a prototype that just looks just like it.
I like to think it will be the most screen accurate jacket out there, even if it is a from a film that isn't exactly my favourite (I hate the lowering-a-guy-into-molten-lava scene)!
Any day now folks, any day....!

Who doesnt like scarifical lava killings?

I don't, and stop getting my hopes up! I thought you'd maybe received you jacket and were posting pics...
Nice to keep this thread up and running though.

Wow, I didn't even order one and lo and behold there is one on my doorstep with a hand written note, major factory error in my favor?! It looks like an interesting, phenomenal critter...












Kidding (of course).

My sister is moving back to Canada from the UK, so I asked if there was any way the jacket would be ready by early December, and I got this reply this morning

at the moment we are waiting on the patterns being made for the jackets,as soon as we have them all done we will be able to make your jacket for you

so we're not quite there yet.. I must now go count to ten.. in Greek

...That...makes no sense at all. Still making patterns? Early December?
I don't understand, but I guess I'll stop waiting at the mailbox each morning for a while..

Patterns are made and a control sample is in work.
Orders start cutting thursday and first orders start to leave next week.
All wth authentic zip, snaps (english) and two prong side buckle.

and that mine will be ready for local pickup before my sis flies over

Thanks for the news Peter.

Yes, good news indeed!
Please please please Peter, let all the pockets look as good as the prototype ones. Don't change a thing. I love them.
The pockets are the first thing I look at when I excitedly rip open the parcelforce package containing yet another fine Wested jacket!

It might be worth posting the new jacket in the Vendor section too Peter?
I'm sure most of those who followed the jacket thus far have already ordered one, but perhaps some folks missed it. Would be a good enough way of letting everyone a new style is available.

just sittin' here, waitin' paitently....

Yes patience. I suspect Peter and staff are quite busy right now with these jackets. No time to post pictures of one yet.

I didn't mean he should post pictures of one, just to make a post in the vendor section letting others know that this new TOD design is now available, for those that might have missed it or not checked the new website lately.

Two-prong side-buckle? Excuse my ignorance, but is that what was on the screen used ToD? You mean like a belt buckle catch? didn't know that one.

yes sir. that was confirmed looooooong ago as Noel Howard allowed folks to ask questions about that jacket as well as let some fans handle it. this was captured in the TOD specs that were on the old indygear website (was it sergei's specs???) ;-)

As far as the screen used ToD, the research in this small thread leads us to believe this is as close a repro of the ToD jacket as we're going to get

http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=32504

I guess the first jackets should be arriving soon if they were on schedule to be shipped this week.

ha! shipping this week..

I am waiting on a replacement jacket that should ship almost 2 weeks ago...still not here!

but that's you Holt

Hopefully we'll find out who gets one of the first soon enough

....hmmm , a double meaning? ;-)

Can somebody confirm if the last two numbers on the order form is the
number of the jacket? I ordered mine Nov 4th and got 48 . This is five days after people were saying the first sixty were gone.I already emailed
Peter with no reply.Thanks.

iirc, there was a mixup with the numbers, it showed sold out not long after it was put up, but it got fixed and could be ordered again.. not sure, Peter would have to chime in

I ordered 28/29 October and my last two numbers are 51

The initial listing had a low sell out limit, something like 12 jackets. It was a default setting.

AFAIK the invoice number doesn't have anything to do with the 'edition number' of the jackets, it's just the invoice number.

The first jackets to roll off the machines should be the size 40's. Sally got appendicitis and was hospitalised before she could do the other sizes, though I believe the grading has been done now.

Thank's KT. That's what I was hinting at, the last two numbers are Invoice related.

I would think it would be pretty easy to look at the last 2 numbers for those that got the jackets before the website showed sold out. Do they go up to 12 and not repeating? I just think it would be interesting.

My purchase went through before the website showed 'sold out' I'm sure a few more did after me too.

I talked to gemma on Nov 4th before I ordered and she said if I ordered
now I should get one.I'm not clear if she meant the jacket with the original vintage hardware or not.I didn't get the impression she knew what I was talking about when i mentioned the vintage hardware for the first 60 or so jackets. When I emailed her about the edtion number
being the last two number I got no reply.With the exchange rate and customs this jacket will run me close to$500.00 CDN.It would be nice to know.I'll try calling Peter later this week.

I'm not sure who Sally is, does she do the patterns KT? In any case, I hope she's out of hospital and feeling better now.

Sally is Peters daugther.she is a master in taking patterns for jackets.

she also works in the film costuming,but not wested.

This is really racking my brain but what is the difference between vintage hardware and non vintage?

ReturningSon wrote:This is really racking my brain but what is the difference between vintage hardware and non vintage?

Vintage hardware is unused old obsolete stock as discussed by Peter in the other thread, and is duplicate of what was used on the original jacket. It's appearance and markings differ from current offerings.
You'll find pictures of the 'vintage' in the other thread. I don't know if there are specific pictures of current hardware

I ordered mine on October 29 and was able to get a leather change on Friday so it hasn't gone into production yet.

Just ordered mine

Which leather did you go with, Nibs?

I decided to go with Authentic Lamb since apparently it is the closest to the original jacket

Nibs

Sad to hear Sally got sick, best wishes for a speedy recovery (and no, not so that she can get back to the jackets lol!)

Ya i hope she recovers quickly because I know how it feels to have to bounce back after being in the hospital

Nibs

I haven't heard anything but hope she bounces back well too.

She works for one of the named fashion houses in London, I can't remember which.

He work for Peter is a weekend thing.

I think originally Peter mentioned having 60 snap sets and 100 zips.
Since he's talking 65 in this thread I assume he's sourced more snaps. So the total with vintage hardware could go up again.
