its just a Indy style jacket. there are many of those jackets...
you see them everywhere..
look, there is no stormflap or collarstand.nor is there straps, pockets are all wrong and it looks not to have pleats.

Given the date, perhaps the question should have been: "Did Indy wear an Wrong Way Corrigan jacket?"

Not sure what you're getting at, but here's a few photos to show you how wonderful my sleeves were before I paid to have them altered - in case you think I was making it up or something. No, that's not a five year old wearing daddy's jacket, either. Any sleeves in any of the movies look like these?

What I'm still puzzling over is who they thought would fit into sleeves like that? Who's the comic book guy who's made out of rock?
At least they look good now but I should have saved the leather that was removed and made myself pants or something...

S, I was just observing he wanted tapered sleeves and couldn't find as good a tailor as you.........man, those sleeves did need some work.....you sure you didn't get a jacket meant for _ ?

Holy smoke, Raider, those are some sleeves you had there. I think you DID have pants - trouser legs for sleeves.
I love the rumpled look Corrigan had ... clearly a well-worn old friend of a jacket.

These were from an OTR LC and it was the same on two different jackets. I tried to keep it on the DL but wonder if they are all like this as I rarely see photos of OTR LC's on here.
