Dark CS or Happy Cow.
The Italian Cowhide is a higher dollar hide.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
Much has been said of 'soft goat'.
If I were purchasing a jacket now, I'd be tempted to give it a go.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
RC- What is the happy cow? I don't recall reading anything about it or seeing pictures But I'm aware of the price of the italiain cowhide and I'm not concerned about that. I just wanted to see which is closer to the color seen on screen; that or the dark CS. Thx
Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
I have both dark CS and italian cow and I think dark CS is closer.

Can someone please tell me if the two following jackets are film used jackets and if they are from LC? (Pictures are from a google search)

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
Not trying to sound condescending at all, but do a search on the LC jacket here. There are a few very good threads that break down the differences between the two main jackets. That's what I did and then combined the features from both that I liked to make my personal jacket.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
Geordie,
The first link isn't working but the second one is the Smithsonian jacket and If I'm not mistaken it is the same one shown on filmjackets.com.
If you really want to track down the details of the LC jacket do a search for the screen grabs and studio shots out there, there are some very high res resources out there if you dig deep enough.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
first jacket is the kurtz jacket. claimed to be an LC but it has very very poor LC details. not a screen used jacket. I believe it was made after the production. it was sold at an auction and just before it was put on display it was given a quick backroom distressing with some sand paper.
second: this jacket I dont know what is. It can be screen used. but it is not the smithsonian jacket or the jacket displayed at the chicago museum. maby it is a stunt jacket.
third jacket is the smithsonian jacket. screen used. end of story.
please do a search. there is tons of info on this.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
You know, I'm curious if the lighter CS leather would fit the bill at all... Come to think of it, I don't think too many folks have been ordering that lighter CS leather besides the first batch! Pity, as I think that was/is probably my favorite Nowak leather.
And does anyone else agree with me that the best LC jackets are the minimally distressed ones? I'm thinking along the lines of the castle/motorbike moments, when the jacket still looked relatively clean...

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
The first post I ever made on "Indyfan" ten years ago, was about the LC jacket being in the 1992 Christian Slater movie; "Kuffs".
They've been playing the movie lately, and I was watching it on a 110" screen.... There is no doubt it was a jacket made for, even possibly used, in LC. Has anyone ever researched this? How it made it's way into the movie, etc? If you've never seen the movie, check it out, as the LC jacket gets tons of screen time.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
I'd wager that it wasn't a leftover jacket from LC, but rather a Indy-style jacket made by Wested. The color just seems too dark (gray? black?), though I guess we all know how that goes, and color is among the most debatable topics here... But the lining? Well, the lining is striped!DeWayne wrote:The first post I ever made on "Indyfan" ten years ago, was about the LC jacket being in the 1992 Christian Slater movie; "Kuffs".

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
I found the Chicago jacket.
I allways believed that this was screen used.
this jacket is also the same jacket in the end scene at the grail temple when Hendry is shot!
here is why.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
I tend to agree with you that the Chicago jacket was used in the Zeppelin scene and the castle scenes as well (although I've not done any research with screen caps, what have you, on the castle jacket. I'm only going by the more tapered sleeves).
And I remember the thread where Indystrones (I believe) made a very convincing argument that the Smithsonian jacket was the one used in the tank scenes.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
Where else was the 'tank scene jacket' used?
could the Chicago jacket then be the 'main' Hero jacket?

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
Hmm, I'm not sure now about the Chicago jacket being in the castle scenes (at least some of them anyway). Of course, it's always dangerous to use screen caps for this type of stuff but you use what's available.
This one doesn't show the collar end (for the telltale mark Holt circled above) but it does show another patch of distressing near the end that doesn't appear to be there on the Chicago jacket.
http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php? ... ts/191.jpg
This one does show the collar end. I'm having trouble seeing that distress mark on the tip here.
http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php? ... ts/215.jpg
And the motorcycle chase jacket collar tips (as Holt has pointed out in the past) appear to be much more rounded than any of the other featured jackets.
http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php? ... ts/243.jpg
And as an aside, I must be getting spoiled by looking at all of the fine hatmaker's work here. Do you see that ugly bow on that hat?

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
The collar of the motorcycle jacket looks badly shaped. The collar looks like thin leather but the rest of the jacket looks heavy/thick like cowhide
Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php? ... ts/191.jpg
I adjusted the tones in PS so you could see that the distressing IS there, just hidden by shadow
http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php? ... ts/215.jpg
Same goes for this, just too much shadow to see the detail
http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php? ... ts/243.jpg
As for this, I think it's just the way the collar is touching the rest of the jacket that gives the appearance of a rounded tip.

I too thought the Hero jacket was used in the Zeppellin scene and you've cracked it with the Chicago jacket.
It's maybe the case that a second identicle jacket was used in the early Brunwald scenes, although it could be the same one.
JTW.
In reference to our last correspondence - looking at the detail on the Smithsonian jacket, I can't imagine any hide other than lambskin being "time worn" in such a specific way.
The lamb has a texture which seems to take to distressing very naturally, especially the seams.
Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
Thanks knibs. Your work begins to bring me back to my original thought that the, what I believe most here, call the "hero" jacket was used in the zeppelin scenes and the castle scenes and is now what we call the Chicago jacket. The Smithsonian jacket was used in the tank scenes.
As for the motorcycle scenes, at least with a admittedly cursory glance, there does seem to be more rounded collars on that jacket.

There is nothing 'natural' about the way the LC jacket is distressed.

I believe it was from the first shoot because one of the major continuity flaws is the noticeable difference in Harrison's hair length.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
here is another.
the chicago jacket may actually be the hero jacket.
and look at that wide stormflap. this is wider then 1.75'' it must be. my LC stormflap is 1.75'' and it doesnt look as wide as this one.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
Good eye, Holt!
I'm not sure on the width of the storm flap. It appears wider but, as has been said on this subject before, the nature of the distressing job would cause the flap to appear wider as well.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
That shot of HF on the shore wearing the Chicago jacket - it looks like thin lamb there. And in the film, as many have stated, it flaps with the wind in a way that makes it look like thin fabric.
Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
a question.
is this collarstand 1'' or 1.2''?
becuz it falls so far out. and all my jackets have the standard 1'' collartand and they stand and do not drop down like the band above.

I think the distressing is causing some deception about the storm flap width. Makes it appear wider than it really is. Look closely at the stitch lines.Indiana Holt wrote:here is another.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
I'm convinced that collar stand is minimum 1 inch. That shot pretty much shows that. I also think the storm flap is 2 inches. I have an older Wested Raiders with that width, and it looks like the LC from where the stitching is, despite the illusion caused by the distressing. Could be 1.75 minimum.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
I think the storm flap is less than 2". More like 1.5" maybe 1/8 larger but no more
Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
no it cant be 1.5'' and my theory is that it is wider then 1.75''
here is the reason.
when I distreess the 1.75'' stormflap the vertical distress lines on each side of the stormflap stitches are to close to eachother. when looking at the original aging it is further apart.
so the stormflap has to be wider then 1.75''
know what I mean?

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
okay. here is another question.
which of the two LC styles is your favorite?
The Smithsonian
or
The Chicago
even though they are practically the same jacket, there are differences in them.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
yes I know, but you cant say its NOT. because actually non of us can unless we have the real thing up close to measure.
I believe it 1.75'' like you or even more, but not as much as 2'' 1.85'' maby?
actually it is such a smsall detail. best to get it at 1.75'' and be safe.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
When I had Tony make my LC, I actually combined features from both jackets to make my "favorite" LC. I'm not sure of all of the features I combined right off, but I know I went with more tapered sleeves (ala the Chicago jacket). The sleeves in the Smithsonian (tank scenes) jacket are a little too baggy for my taste.Indiana Holt wrote:okay. here is another question.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
yes. I have been thinking of this myself.
I mean, I love the smithsonian pockets. they are uniqe. but I love the chicago type collar and sleeves.
the only jacket that has round collar tips is the motorcycle jacket. the rest has pointy pretty much like CS.
Im struggling here.... I dont know which jacket is my favorite.

Re: Last Crusade jacket thread
okay. I did some further looking into this.
now you convince me that this original stormflap doesnt look wider then the standard LC stormflap width at 1.75''
you can tell the space between the distress lines on the stormflap.this is what I ment in one of my posts on page 7. there is more unaged skin in the middle of the stormflap on the original then you can get when aging a standard 1.75'' flap.
even though we say it is safe to get a 1.75'' flap doesnt mean it is correct. I think it is wider.
