Finaly I just bought a Wested INDIANA JONES LEATHER JACKET 'ROLA' Special. Can´t wait for it.

I almost had to wait, cause I broke a spark plug in my van when trying to put in a new one

it´s gonna cost me.

Well I took some pics this evening. Lousy pics, My daugter decided to fix my Canon EOS 300d by sticking a screwdriver in the card slot and twist and turn. So I had to use my sony cypershot I got for this X-mas. Lousy pics in low light.

Here goes.
A little ROLA bar scene pose.

I distressed the jacket with sandpaper and shoe polish.

And some rocks

Mobius, it's all your fault! That jacket looks so darn good on you that I just had to order one! (And pants & shirt too!) I just hope it turns out to be a sweet as yours (and that it arrives before the premiere)...

I've seen a lot of Indyfans wearing a lot of amazing Indy jackets on this website, but I think yours takes the idol. It fits perfectly, and you did a great job of distressing it just the right amount. Congrats! With your outstanding hat and whip, you are definitely ready for action. Now get out there and kick some Nazi ###!

Thanks. You should have seen the look on my neighbors face when he saw me dragging the jacket from under the rocks.

Man, I can't wait to be able to afford one of those babies in 6-48 months, haha. I broke the bank on gear and I'm forced to restrain until I have enough money saved up to pay my rent for 4 months ahead. But every time I see one of these it makes my paypaling finger twitch.

btw: I was born in Iceland, but don't remember it at all. I've always wanted to go back and visit someday, would you say it's nice there?

I didn't notice you were from Iceland! It's one of my favourite countries... I've worked there for the last 4 years. Great place! Bit expensive though ;-)

BTW... is that the dark brown or seal "authentic" brown lamb?

I totally agree. It's perfect and that's the best distressing i've ever seen.

Tollan, it is authentic lambskin.

Where did you work here in Iceland?

Cheers!

I worked all over. I'm actually an archaeologist... last time was last autumn for a couple of months where I was at the old harbour wall in Reykjavik (under the modern car park next to the famous pylser stall and flea market) where they're building the new opera house and bank etc. Do you live in Reykjavik?
