They didn't get it exactly but they are close.
For $269 plus shipping & handling doesn't worth it.

I wonder what leather it is.

That's not the Raiders Authentic is it?

The pocket flaps look almost like my U.S Wings....

Of course it's not. The color is close to the worn look lambskin of Wested. (I think)

This is a jacket from another manufacturer.

Platon, any reason you're not saying who's made and offering this jacket?

Because it's not worth it.

But....Its not listed as an Indiana Jones jacket, or an Adventure jacket. They list it as a Barnstormer. It looks wrong, all wrong for a Barnstormer.
So to be fair I wouldnt call it a new offering, Maybe one that is kinda close.
Just my opinion........

Thanks, I wouldn't really consider it at all but I do kind of dig the color.

No point, just letting everyone know about what is available...
Will add it to the sticky later...

But if it's not up to par, why do that? Why even say anything at all?

yeaach......its an unfinished calfskin body with a finished colar. and the pockets are huge. i'm scared to see what the back looks like.

It'd be one thing to say "hey look what these guys are calling an "Adventure" jacket, hint hint IJ...
but they're not even calling it that.

Heck, even Target carries an IJ knockoff that looks pretty good for $99.

IF the jacket is custom, then maybe its worth the $$, but not as a jacket for this crowd.

But if it's not up to par, why do that? Why even say anything at all?

for completeness...

Hey I'm not trying to bust your chops on this or anything, I'm glad you posted the jacket for us but I have to point out that you weren't going to tell us who made it until I asked, you said "because it's not worth it"...then you say you posted it "to be complete" - that's a little contradictory. But anyway thanks for posting it.

Actually, I was going to post all the information in the sticky thread.

The picture shown is the brown nubuck, according to the site. They have other leathers available. It really doesn't seem like a bad offering in all fairness. Especially with the option of a zip-out lining. However, without being able to view the back, there is no way to know whether is has action pleats or adjuster straps. Were I in the market, I may look into this, but I'll stick with my Wested.

Wow! It's amazing how a post from me can stop a thread in its tracks. I'm going to develop a complex.

Yep. We were all hiding in the bushes waiting to see if you had noticed, Ron.
