Side Vent Slider on Todds Standard?

Post by lpa53 »

Posting new here because I didn't get an answer with this question buried in another post.

Most of the strap slide adjusters I've seen are metal loops, but looking at Todd's Standard Jacket it appears that the strap slide adjuster is black plastic. Is that correct? Is what he has there SA?

I think it's black metal not plastic.

I and others did answer this, but I guess you missed it.

The sliders are metal. Todd (Puppetboy) confirmed it himself in this thread:

Hope we were able to help you this time. :wink:

But...

is the metal slider style he uses more SA than the brassy or steel metal rings I see on US Wings or Westeds?

I'm leaning towards the Todds for price and SA and may just tell myself that if it's freezing outside here in Chi-town, I should be in a parke anyway.

I know that D rings are not SA for a Raider's jacket. I'm not sure about the sliders that Todd's uses vs. Wested's rectangular sliders but Todd's jacket is based on a Raider's stunt jacket and is supposed to be one of the most SA jackets out there.

Cool. Another Chicagoan.

The buckle Todd uses is based off of one screen cap from when Indy is hanging off the front of the truck. The other jackets all have the two, black rectangular buckles or the useless D-rings. It's really up to you to decide what you like best. You can always replace them if you'd like as well.

The slider buckles ARE metal. I have a Todds jacket, and they are metal.

It's my understanding that the metal loops (sliders) are better to use on the thinner lamb jackets, as the leather straps tend to slip out over time and useage. The metal loops are SA.
