Low cost jacket.
I came across this site on my internet wanderings...

They do an "inspired" replica Indy jacket for £99.99.
Has anyone had any dealings with them before?

Something doesn't look right....it uses D-rings instead of triglides for instance. Why not just get a Todds Standard which is very SA and cheaper?

Re: Low cost jacket.
Yeah its OK, pockets are too big and for an extra £25 you may as well purchase a bonafide Wested.

I already have a Wested, but you know how it is - one jacket is never enough!mrkaboom wrote:Yeah its OK, pockets are too big and for an extra £25 you may as well purchase a bonafide Wested.

I guess ultimately you get what you pay for: £99.99 worth of not-quite-accurate leather jacket.

Wow, that back panel/yoke/arm sleeve is WAY off. I wouldn't buy that.

I actually went to Wested last week with the intention of buying a Raiders but ended up with the Wolverine as ill wear it more and looks better IMO.

Re: Low cost jacket.
That jacket kind of looks like a poor copy of a USWings jacket

Looks like a poor copy, visuallly. Not quite right in most aspects. IMHO, avoid this one.

Actually, sometimes, it takes putting on the jacket for you to tell if it suits you or not. I really like the Wolverine, but don't think I could wear it day to day.
Can we see some pics of you wearing it? Which version did you get?

Re: Low cost jacket.
Hi there, i got the X men 3 version as it fit me like a glove - size 44. There's a pic below, believe me i went with every intention of getting an indy jacket. Ive bought pretty much everything else there is to buy but i got to Wested, chatted with Gemma and really took to the Wolverine jackets. Looks great with a pair of timberland boots and dark jeans. You can wear it pretty much anywhere where as for me personally the Indy jacket is not something id get a lot of wear from on a day to day basis- that said im sure ill buy one one day!Kt Templar wrote:Burn the blasphemer!!mrkaboom wrote: If its any consolation I'm making do with a £40 job from TK MAXX!
