There is only one jacket. The movie jacket didn't have as much reinforcing in stress areas, that's all. The 'reinforcing' is all hidden.Inbanana wrote:Back when I ordered my TN CS, it was my understanding that his standard offering was the closest you could get to the jacket Ford wore in the movie. However since then, I think that I've heard that he can make an exact copy of the hero jacket if asked (except in you size/dimensions of course... but I'm not sure, you might want to call him about that). If durability is more important to you than a carbon copy, then his standard should be fine...

CS jackets are just under $700. Raiders in shrunken lamb is just under $1,000 and in other skins $750. For that you get a true custom jacket built to an extremely high standard.
The Nowak I have is without doubt the best fitting item of clothing I've ever owned. Compared to the price of other custom jackets Nowak is right in line with those. And compared to the prices of other (non-jacket) Indy gear people buy, for a leather jacket that might get daily use and last several decades the cost isn't that high when you actually think about it.

(not sure why you want to fight with me over my comment but...)
Its an expensive jacket, some might say absurdly expensive
added:Whats YOUR point?
Are you Tony Nowak? What stake do YOU have in the pricing of his jackets?
My point was simply to let people know what they get for the price of a Nowak. As I mentioned, $700 is not out of line when compared to other custom leather jackets.ortiz344 wrote: added:Whats YOUR point?

Not to add anymore flame to the fire but im betting the SA nowak indy jacket didnt have custom signature 'sayings' or 'this jacket belongs to..' embroidered inside them like most people have seemed to order but i digressHan Jones wrote:To get 100% accurate jacket for 700 is a steal. I think the CS jacket is underpriced. If you want a CS jacket why not just go for the real deal. I found that out the hard way. Before Tony came on the scene I bought 2 wested CS jackets before I bought the Nowak. Now I can't give my westeds away and I tried. The person I gave one to gave it back. Get the Nowak and be done with it.
Not that it matters but Arnold had his name in his T3 jackets.We have such a rare opportunity to own the jacket worn by Indiana Jones, in fact, probably the last jacket he wears, made by the same guy, around the same time. This is it, folks, this is the closest we'll get to a prop-accurate jacket!!Han Jones wrote:To get 100% accurate jacket for 700 is a steal. I think the CS jacket is underpriced.

Just ask Tony and he will take you through everything and tell you every detail of those film jackets. He'll even do that if you're buying a different jacket! Just ask for as SA as possible with your measurements and I'm sure he'll do just what you need.Indiana Citroen wrote:What I really wanted here was the perfect description for my order....despite sizing!

The only 'description' you need is to call and ask for a Crystal Skulls jacket. The rest TN will walk you through. There is only one standard hide, unless you specifically want something else.Indiana Citroen wrote:What I really wanted here was the perfect description for my order....despite sizing!
