hey guys. . . here's the jacket i got from disney mgm studios (around 1994) for 50% off during the cast holiday party (back when i used to work at disney and they gave us 50% off during the holiday celebration) i can't remember exactly how much it was regularly but i know it was between $300 and $500 because i remember thinking, "if this thing wasn't 50% off, i'd never be able to get it!" and i was only 20 or so at the time and that's a lot of money for a college kid!
anyway, i checked some of the other posts regarding disney jackets and was amazed at how many different styles there are. . . what do you guys think of this one? would this be considered a LC style? i'm still trying to figure all the technical stuff out

wow....$300+ for a Disney product?! Anyways, it looks kinda like LC.....it might be better if you posted it with you wearing it.

Isn't that a Cooper? As I recall, Wings/Cooper had the Disney contract at the time.
If so, that price is right on target, even for 1994.

If it's a Cooper it would be more on par with Temple of Doom (with the exception of the press-stud on the storm flap).

Just don't tell people it's a Disney, and you'll keep'em guessing...

Yeah, it's probably a Cooper, I think they were still around during that time. It's good for CS look, its not quite dark enough for LC, but it's most definitely a good looking jacket, those are VERY hard to find too. I'd say keep it and post more pics especially outside and w/o flash.

Put some pecards on it and it would darken up quite nicely.

One of the best looking Disneys I've ever seen. I can't speak for Coopers in specific, but Disney has done some... interesting... things to their Indy jackets over time, and I think this one shows that there was a time when making / selling a good jacket was more important than making money and advertising. The new jackets are getting to be like the DPs of jackets! They say "Indiana Jones Stunt Show" on the back!!!

I got the same type of jacket and I love the thing. It really is a well made jacket. One of the heaviest I've worn though. The only thing I could do without is the signature indy logo in it. Other than that, I sometimes feel it's more Indy than my wested, just because of the toughness.

I actually like these jackets! And if the logo bothers you, I suppose you could always replace the lining and still have a great jacket... unlike the modern Indy-jackets at Disney which have "Indiana Jones" painted all over.

That's just what I was thinking. Like the guy at the Disney shop trying to tell Buff and Peter that the jackets being sold at the shop were the same kind used in the movies.

That jacket looks LC because of the button up storm flap, and it's definitely a good looking jacket for being from Disney.

saecrow, I picked up one of these at Disneyland back in 2000 - 2001. It's definately a LC style. The first LC jacket that I've seen that nailed the collar. The construction has held up great for the past 7 -8 years and it's been my all purpose jacket since I purchased it. The only thing I did was remove the Indiana Jones tag. All the times I've gone to Disney, this was the only jacket that came close to an Indy style.
