Question to save some research - SA jackets
Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 4:43 pm
Newbie to the forums, but not to the world of Indy. Raiders was my first "M" rated movie in the theaters (I was 9), and replaced Star Wars as my top movie.
Anyways, enough about me. I was wondering if there was any sort official or definitive list to the best SA jackets for each movie. I've read a lot on COW already about the positives and negatives about Wested, Wings, G&B etc and perhaps after reading so much in such a short time (two weeks perhaps), I've got some idea but thought I'd pose the question to the experts. Who does the most accurate jacket for each of the four movies?
After much deliberation, I ordered a US Wings predistressed cowhide Adventurer, and to me, it has a LC / KofCS look. Was eyeing the Wested Goat ROLA, and now a Wested LC is on ebay in my city. Are the two so similar that I'm being silly to consider the ebay jacket? Do collectors have several of their favorite jackets, or do they have one of each movie's style? How crazy am I getting?
Thanks in advance for any direction!
