They look good in the photos. Anyone know the LC pocket measurement?

I really appreciate the kind words everyone. It means alot coming from you whipwarrior as you were really the first person I saw when I got here to really take on the LC jacket. I recall seeing it a DragonCon 2003. It was a thing of beauty.

Thanks, man. I still miss it. But yours looks even better. Are you sure Tony didn't steal that one from the Smithsonian, or the Lucasfilm archives? You are one lucky guy. Enjoy!

When I called him today I left a message saying I was afriad GL would call the cops on us thinking we lifted it from the archives.

or the Smithsonian and the FBI

Beautiful jacket! Congratulations.

Love the rich color and the grain developing next to the pocket. The distressing is quite nice and not excessive (better than the movie to me).

Who did the distressing, you or Tony?

- Mac

What size is that jacket? How long is the back and front length?

Why dont you take photos of all 4 TN jakets you have. I would like to see them all together. How many jackets is ths for you 11? or 13?

I drink to your health

wear it in good health

Wow, just wow! That is one nice jacket, and you are right, it looks like the film jacket. Tony's work is amazing! The grain of the leather, and the fit of the jacket is perfect! The TN Indy jackets are amazing. Very nice, and we have to see all your jackets together in a pic.

I'll let others disect the jacket...but it's two thumbs up from me.

Here's my Wested as it stands...being modeled on LC

Woah Nice jacket, "du grand art", Tony is a master.

Enjoy this jacket Christopher!!!!

A really beautiful jacket with a true LC feel! Congratulations to you and Tony!

Those pockets look to have a flat bottom?

yeah sorry, I was mistaken, there's another LC jacket that has more rounder pockets:

That's an amazing jacket, Han! I can't believe it. The resemblance is just perfect
Tony gives to his jackets the flavour of Indy's look like nobody does
Congratulations!!

Square on that pocket bottom might be flat

The 'Kurtz' jacket has round bottom pockets but it also has a lot of other strange details

Nice looking jacket. The distressing really sells it.

Couple of inaccuracies one of them a bit obvious. Plus a couple of hangovers from the CS jacket.

Good colour choice and it fits well.

All true Kt, but a more accurate jacket than the one from the original maker. That's what makes this a strange story.

This was right out of the box. Tony did all the distressing. When we spoke about that part of the jacket he simply said "I know what to do"

Again, this is an amazing looking jacket! Bravo to Tony!

I've got a CS Nowak ---- I thought I was done and now...now THIS!!!!.....AAAAARRRGGGHHHH where's my Visa????

I think the new motto at COW should be "Veni Vidi Visa" (I came, I saw, I charged it)

Don't worry. My visa is about to suffer too

wow that jackets looks right out of the movie or the museum picture, great jacket I'm so jealous. enjoy

Amazing jacket
I like the distressing and the pockets! We say here,it's COJONUDA
I didn't know that Tony makes this model too?

Tony did a great job with the distressing, wonderful attention to detail. I don't think even Whipwarrior could've done better.

Any chance we could get you to do the flying airplane pose with the jacket zipped up to see how it looks with regard to "flying squirrel" (or lack thereof)? And maybe a hands up to compare to the screencap above?

Han, Let me add AMAZING,drool producing, etc........I think ONE thing that hasn't been brought up enough is TN's distressing ability....amazing on my TN1..........but this beauty is his Personally distressed masterpiece so far......

Yes, Tony is THE man when it comes to perfect replica Indy jackets. I thought the Shrunken Lamb Raiders was the pinnacle of what Tony could achieve in replicating a film-look jacket....now with his take on the LC, we see his enormous talent revealed yet again. Peter (at Wested) must be broiling with jeoulosy. (But I'm sure Peter has a trick up his sleeve that he'll reveal to us soon).

I don't think even Whipwarrior could've done better.

Tell me about it. But I tried. But Han has, without a doubt, the best looking, most accurate LC jacket outside of the film itself. I just hope Tony (and his staff) is prepared for what he's in for, now that he is making screen accurate copies of all four movie jackets. He definitely has his work cut out for him.

That is just a fantastic looking jacket. My favorite look of all the films.

no,no...

I was still learning back then...

what else ?, Holt mentioned Collar tips might need to be little more rounded..do you agree ?

hey hatch. are you collecting info for your own LC from Nowak?

Drat it, Holt ...you found me out , was hoping to beat you to it...... ..........was hoping to get one named after me like you have...

I know full well that none of the jackets had facings but I request them everytime because I want them. All those jackets have facings.

Didn't the CS have facings ??....I mean in film ?

Hatch wrote:Didn't the CS have facings ??....I mean in film ?

The CS did, the LC didn't.



But HJ asked for them, so it's a moot point.

Can someone show me what a facing is?

It's extra leather along the zipper to prevent the lining get caught by the zipper.
Christopher just asked for different pockets and a LC collar for his jacket. The rest is like it was on the CS jacket.
But he got the jacket the way he want it. That's what matters!

Gotchya, I think.

So did it take 12 jackets to finally get the perfect jacket, or do you have a different jacket for each different scene in the series? I mean, I can see differences between jackets in Raiders, ToD, LC, and CS, but what are the other 8 jackets for?

I don't want to speak for Han Jones but in my case a Nowak jacket is really something special. If you got one you really see the different to other jacket makers.
After you got one you want another one. Maybe you even want to sell your other jackets... If you got enough money then you may keep the old jackets.
I always thought the Wested leather is so great. Then I thought the Todd's Jacket is so great... Well try a Nowak!
Soon I will have my third Indy Jacket from Tony (LC) and I really want a TOD from him in near future too.
I just try to get a different leather on each Jacket and also different features too.

With Tony I always get what I want the first time. I have one TN from each movie. I do have another CS. I will eventually have 2 of each, one to wear and one to keep. I also have a G&B in the mix and it is a great jacket. I have tried to sell the Westeds with no luck. I don't use them anymore so I will just store them. You never know when you might need them. They did serve their purpose at one time but I will always wear my Nowaks and the G&B from here on.

What do you see about the pockets other than the flaps?

placement and shape

Pockets on the LC Jackets were placed higher... about 2.5 inches from the Bottom of the Jacket.
Also placed differently. But I think that would look odd.
Han Jones jacket would look more accurate with the Pockets placed about an inch higher.
The pocket flaps could be more rounded IMO too. I believe he requested the 1/4" overlapping of the flaps. That's not Tonys invention.
