Such a great collection. Each jacket has the same draping as the originals, and you can see how all of them fall in a particular way, which is the real 'trade mark' of their specific look in every movie. That's, IMHO, what distinguishes a well-made jacket from a common one. Tony is a real craftsman. Congratulations.
And that LC jacket. Man, all of them are my favorite, but I can't stop watching it.

Those jackets are beautiful, but being a hat man, I love each one of those hats. Of all the jackets I'd say the Temple of Doom one is probably my favorite. Awesome collection!

Man, I wish I could sink that much into a jacket! That has got to be the most accurate looking group of Indy jackets I've seen. I mean, I can't pick out details ands measurements and all that nonsense, but Tony has really nailed the right spirit and look to each. Especially the LC. Never seen anything so close in my life!

The spirit of the jacket means more than the stitches that hold it together.

Beautiful collection but I have to say your LC is the winner. Just a terrific looking jacket.

I think I've got my next Indy purchase decided on for the fall.

Han Jones,

Incredible gear, it's honestly hard to decide which one looks best because every outfit looks so genuine.
although, I couldn't help noticing the tie on the LC outfit looks too long and out of scale... ;)

Han, that's quite a nice collection you've got there. That's really a nice demonstration of the overall appearance of the different leather types with that particular series of photos. I highly agree with the others that mentioned that the Indy spirit is captured perfectly in each one. Very, very nice!

This was so awesome. The first time, all I could see were the jackets. Now I see everything else, right down to the strap over the jacket. I kind of wish you pulled a Knibs and greyed your hair for the last one, but that's ok! Incredible collection, and photoset. Thank you HJ!

Those are great photos! I was pretty much set on getting a Nowak Raiders, but I really like the look of the KOTCS. Can you tell me if they all wear the same as far as keeping you warm in the same weather conditions? Do you feel like any of them "break in" quicker, or slower than the others? Any other tips on any of them???? Is goat in the Raiders style pretty much the norm?

Thanks...

That's the "rightest" LC jacket I've seen ever. Lucky for me I don't like the LC jacket. O:) Tony does great work.

All the jackets are about the same in winter but I also wear a cardigan underneath. I would say as far as weight goes from heavy to light, LC,CS,ToD,Rola. They all have no breakin time

I really like the LC color. And I'm not a big fan of that movie's jacket. As far as what I would wear, the ToD and Raiders are neck and neck.

Just my 2 cents, but I think the ToD looks more Raiders like than the Raiders :-k
All are incredibly awesome tho, and I wish I was in your shoes, I mean jackets ;)
