Magnoli Jackets!

Post by coronado3 »

Who out there has an Indy Jacket from Magnoli? I would love to see some pics... I haven't really heard anything about them... Details? SA? etc.

why are you selling? it looks like it fits quite nice. looks like it has a nice fitted (80's fittish) look to her.

i don't like the 2 pic sleeve panels though.

Those pockets look a bit off, otherwise a reasonable product (to look at).

Here are two shots of my new pockets, first with flash, the second without:

The leather is a very nice, relatively thick lambskin.

Here is the full jacket. I'm playing around with making a vintage-adventure jacket hybrid, blending a few styles... so this one has a pointier collar than the standard Indy jacket:

Hey Magnoli my friend,
In those pockets I think you need to move the seam a little bit closer to the edge. It will look great.

It's lamb... though feels heavier and thicker than other lamb I've seen.

It's a VERY nice looking material. Sounds like the old hide that Peter used to get hold of back in the day.... :D

How about some "action" pics.... You know, a real person wearing one of these babies! :lol:

What other hides/colors do you have available?

The one in that photo was way to big for me to model personally, but I'll get some new pics up when my new jacket comes in (which will be a true vintage-Indy hybrid). As for leathers and colors, I have goat, lamb and cow available (prices go up in that order) in most colors.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

Here is my newest Vintage-Styled Adventure Jacket:

This was made in a very nice thick cowhide with a dull finish. You'll also notice that I used a plaid wool lining for the body to add to the vintage look. This jacket will end up being around $595 (shipped). I'll be adding it to my site shortly. I'll try to get some shots of me wearing it up tomorrow.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

That is exactly how Indy's jacket would have looked in a parallel universe. Nice job!

Thanks! If I had been there in 1980 to help with costuming... this is how the jacket would have turned out. I'm not sure how I would have managed that at four years old, but I'm sure I would have thought of something. ;)

Sometimes, I wish he'd just say "No, I can't do/get that." It would make life much more affordable. Then I smack myself in the face for my blasphemy!

I'll have to double check... but I'm fairly sure this leather is just that:

As for the wait time, jackets have been going out within three weeks in the last two months.

Magnoli, that new adventure jacket is just the jacket I have been looking for. My good friend Dan has an original 1930's jacket very similar to that. I have always loved that jacket. Let me tell you this new jacket you have created is very tempting to me. It's so tempting I know can't resist forever. It's a perfect mix between the Indy and the 30's jacket Dan has.
