I sure this has been done before but how many jackets do you have?

Me? 2 both Wested. a HH LC custom made and a new OTR goat. I love both and know that they will last. I gave a Wested lamb to my cousion to make room for the goat. Now I am stuggling to resist Peter's limited edition washed lamb. A bad case of jacket addiction is coming on?

Like Holt my aim was to end up with two. I thought I was done until the washed lamb came up.

So confessions please. I know Falco has the bug. I think we have all tracked Holt's jacket adventures and that some have two TNs.

I have a wested lamb that's at least a size too big that I got second hand. I love it! However, as it is too big, and a bit lamb-y, I'm eventually going to get a second jacket, most likely goatskin or cowhide, and preferably one that will fit better. I'm thinking I'm going to go US Wings. But for now, I can safely say I own one Wested Raiders Lamb

Although there's only 1 Indy jacket hanging in my wardrobe, I've just pulled the trigger on 2 more. Hopefully, that should be enough for the time being but there are a few more jackets that I'm still interested in!

Blues,

This is how it starts! You already have the early symtoms. My first jacket was a wested lamb. I loved it. With more time on COW I went the for HH for the winter. Then I realised that the fit of the lamb was not quite right. The goat fixed that problem.

and this is where I came in. I miss the lamb jacket

I feel I should be going to an AA meeting. " Hello, my name is Christian and I am an addict. I have not bought a new indy jacket for six months now. It's one day and a time"

I voted "2", because I have 2 Wested, a Raiders auth. lambskin and a Raiders novapelle. I also have a Wested denim, but as it's not a leather jacket I think it doesn't count...

just one so far, the one that got me into this mess, a Wings CE. Very intent on a Wested ROLA goat tho, washed pref., and if my favorite NHL player retires, I'll be able to use my allotted Christmas bonus money on the jacket instead of a game used jersey.

12 indy jackets.....don't ask how many jackets in total as my wife is still angry about the amount of closet space that she has.




EDIT: oops, make that 13......forgot about my cold weather indy......sorry magnoli

I Don't think I'll be getting too many more indy jackets, IndyBrit, as while I like indy's jacket, I don't think I need too many in that style. Now other jackets, yes, there will be many more in my future They just won't necessarily be indy jackets.

And Indiana G, just tell her how lucky she is to be unique, and not like every other woman out there who has too much closet space

-KB

Personally I own three Indy leather jackets, the third arrived today. One Todd standard, one Wested OTR, this one is for sale, and one Wested Novapelle. I also own a black leather lamb jacket.

None. I was going to get one last Christmas, but I went with an A-2 instead.

its more like......if you give her closet space....she'll need to fill it with stuff. then my indygear allowance gets shifted over to wife allowance

Then you have one of the most diabolical plans ever.... good work

-KB

I have on otr goat, 2 A-2's,1 g-1 and one nomex flight jacket, but I am trying to figure out how to get a Nowak jacket,without the wife finding out how much it costs. I have to say my Indy is my favoite and I just got it in June. I love this hobby

Nowadys 1 Indy Jaclet (Wested 6065-Authentic lambskin), but soon I want to get a Crystal Skull...though I'm also very interested in the new Temple project...

I clicked the last option

Two USW, two Wested.

One Wested Raiders Horsehide
One Aero Highwayman Horsehide
One Aero Long Half Belt Horsehide
One Cabelas Sheepskin B3
One LL Bean Flying Tiger Goatskin

Who knows what'll be next? I like that G & B Buffalo, though.

I assume you mean to limit that question to Indy Jackets, so I said 3. I have a Lambskin Wested (my first), a black Goatskin US Wings, and a Magnoli Lambskin in the works.

Beyond Indy, I have more jackets than I can keep track of. I'm such a clothes hoarder. I'm terrible.

3 G&B
1 USWINGS
and if I'm not careful,another G&B made from that beautiful Buffalo.....................
Thats just Indy jackets..................

1 Custom Wested Lamb
1 US Wings LE
2 TN CS

-Nebraska

1 Tony Nowak and I think thats all I'll ever need. Its built like a tank!

One Indy jacket (G&B lamb); other jackets 5...I think.

I own 2 currently. a DB Goat Raiders Wested and an AB Lamb Raiders Wested(which I will be selling) I also have a Nowak on order.
Best Regards,
Joe

14 Jackets and counting!

Wow, there's some people with a lot of jackets here! I have 3 IJ jackets myself. I do have a very large jacket and coat collection, for me it is anyway, 50+ various leather, leather/wool varsity, long, mid, etc and they're all for the most part distinctly different from either other. I feel bad that I don't wear some of them more. Three jackets in basically the same style is something I never thought I would do but something about this place...it's contagious! I do think that they TN will legitimately be the last of the Indy jackets for me. It's easily the most well made out of any that I've ever seen and truly is, as other have said, built like a tank.

Wow, is that the truth! My first jacket was a Wested Lamb. I obsessed over minutiae with it until I convinced myself it didn't fit right, wasn't going to be durable enough, etc, so I bought a Wested in pre distressed cowhide. A great jacket, but I always wanted a Wings jacket, so I bought one in goatskin. Then Todd Coyle made what was to my eyes the ultimate Raiders jacket, one that had all the details that were missing in all my other jackets, so "quest complete" in that department!

Now, I'm looking at my old Wested Lamb, completely satisfied with the fit and durability, admiring the worn patina and character it has aquired over the years, ready to send it off to Peter for a new lining so I can wear it again. Full circle man, and I would not part with ANY of my jackets!

I think that at four jackets I'm finally done. Then again, though Todd finally put an end to my Raiders jacket obsession, there are possibilities for new ToD jacket designs in the works, and Magnoli's look incredible!

Maybe I'm not done!

I also assumed you were referring strictly to Indy jackets, so I answered one--a custom Wested Raiders in Novapelle. I may get another one at some point, but for now this one suits me just fine.

So far?

1.) Wested Authentic Lamb LC (LC Design from early 2007)
2.) Wested Worn-Look Lambskin RoLA (one of the first 10 jackets of what eventually became the Raiders 'specials')
3.) Wested Veg-Tanned Lambskin LC/KotCS (KotCS specs were self-guesstimated from the trailer)
4.) Wested Novapelle LC/KotCS (slightly improved self-guesstimated specs from #3)
5.) Nowak Ford-Measurements, Heavily Distressed
6.) Nowak Own-Measurements, Heavily Distressed
7.) Nowak Own-Measurements, Lightly Distressed
8.) Nowak Own-Measurements, Shia-Biker-Jacket

I've got 5... only 2 of them are really wearable though..

2 Westeds,
2 US Wings CE
1 Tony Nowak

The first Wested is too small and really beat up
The second Wested is too small and only worn once
The first US Wings jacket I ruined but keep for bummin' around

Leaving the second US Wings jacket and Tony Nowak as the only 2 that are both the right size, and in good condition.

Unless you're planning on saving it as a family heirloom, why not sell it on the Cairo Bazaar and use what's left to get a proper fitting Wested?

If the glove fits, wear it. If it doesn't, sell it.

Couldn't resist. One raiders washed lamb limited edition on the way.

and then there where three...

I meant three Nowak Indy's as I didn't know what the Mutt jacket cost - but I do know the Indy is $700 + ....

Two jackets: 1 Wested Raiders authentic brown goat, one Nowak with my specs. Both fit very well, although it's interesting that the Nowak is a bit looser and baggier, meaning that whenever I put on my Wested it inevitably feels weird by comparison.

$670 actually (though with shipping it comes out to around $700). But still...4 NOWAKS?! I just want to ask you this, Castor...how many mortgages do you have on your home? :junior: -M

Well now that you mention it, I DO need a jacket duster...

At least I'm not the only one with 8 Indy jackets. lol Guess what... I still want more!

I only have 1 Last Crusade Wested HH. Someday I would like to get a Wested Goat Raiders.

I've got just 2. A Disneyland Cooper Indy Jacket made with distressed finish leather, and a Wested Raiders jacket made of cowhide - undistressed. I have to thank Peter for making the pocket size custom for me. Years ago, I tried on one of the Wested jackets, and could not get my hands in the 'handwarmer' pockets. So I waited, then ordered one with the larger 'Cooper'? sized pockets. I love this jacket, and I do not plan on distressing it.

By the way, the Disney Cooper jacket has seen better days. While I can still wear it, it is not going to last much longer.

Indiana Jake

These are nice jackets, but if I had it to do over again, I would own a G&B goat, USW VIP cow and a Wested lamb.

After 3 Rotla orders have only 1 off the rack Wested.

With great disappointment I must say I still do not have an SA jacket.
My 4th order was lost in the mail. Wested say they never received it.

The envelop I sent included good quality 5 gauge nickel zipper, 2 extremely hard to find black SA triglide buckles, and my ultimate SA list of specs.

I will send my 5th order when I find replacement buckles.

I'm curious _, from all your jackets which one is your favorite, over the years ?

Thanks for your answer, it really make me want to have a TN, well one day if I win the lottery....

Anyway back on topic, I own just a Wested CS in novapelle

0 jackets for me. After all these years, I'm still making my mind up on what would be the most SA Raiders option.

0 jackets for me. After all these years, I'm still making my mind up on what would be the most SA Raiders option.

You have me intrigued sir.

1. How many years is "all these years"?
2. Have you narrowed it down to a couple of contenders? Who would those be?
3. You haven't seen ANYTHING that would do it for you?

I ask because the members on this forum are as fantatical as any I've seen regarding Indy jackets. Debate always rages on what's more screen accurate, but it seems like just about everybody has at least one jacket, regardless of whether they think it's dead accurate.

Personally, I think it's nigh impossible to get true "screen accuracy" in a new jacket. That's where break-in and life steps in.

Well, I've been knocking around these parts since the days of Indyfan.com. And I've wanted the jacket since I was about thirteen. But I never wanted to have a whole wardrobe full of Indy jackets. Just one will be fine. Trouble is, there seem to be too many choices, as nothing entirely hits the nail on the head. I'm a bit obsessive about details, and I don't want to get one and then start noticing mistakes on it. It'd drive me crazy.

The Todd's jackets seem to be best for Raiders SA, but I guess I'm just patiently holding out to see if anything else comes up. Being in the UK, my dearest wish is that Wested comes up with the goods. They do seem to be gradually improving. I just don't get why they can't simply hit the nail on the head and be done with it. It's frustrating, as though they choose to deliberately miss the target by a little each time to keep people coming back for more. Although I'm sure that's not really the case.

Hey, you're in LONDON! Why you don't go directly to Peter and ask for your perfect custom jacket?

Well, I guess I'm just too lazy to get a definitive list of SA specifications together. I wouldn't trust myself to come up with all of them anyway. That's why Todd's options are appealing, because I wouldn't have to research all the little details myself.

But Wested is THE MAKER!
