My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
No pics yet, sorry!!!
My Magnoli Raiders came in the mail this morning. I have a lot of half formed things to say about it, and will have a better idea once i've worn it for a couple of days. It's a superbly cut and crafted piece of gear. The lamb is not really thicker than that of my wested, but it's tougher and stiffer. It's had just enough off the shine taken off it that it didnt look glossy as i took it out the bag, but it's till got a lot of breaking on to do. The inside pockets on this thing are stunning, and i never thought i'd focus on inside pockets in a coat
I still love my Wested, it's been my loyal second skin for the better part of a decade, and i will always recomend somebody get a wested as their first jacket. But this is a nice alternative to have, and i think i'll be wearing the heck out it.
My only gripe so far isnt even really a gripe. My wested has about 7/8 years of character in it, and it's going to take a while for my Magnoli to earn that. I have no doubt it will be able to though.
No pics yet, it's late and i have a long day tomorrow. But i wanted to get this thread up early so that if anyone has any questions or requests, i can get to them when i get home tomorrow.

Re: My New Magnoli
Lots of luck with the new jacket. Wear it in good health and can't wait to see those pics. I am leaning toward a good jacket as a near-future gear purchase and am still debating where to purchase.
Thanks,

Re: My New Magnoli
We don't get to see enough photos of Magnoli jackets.
It has two inside pockets? We'll need photos of those as well now especially since you are so excited about them.

Re: My New Magnoli
Yes, put lots and lots of pictures. I am thinking Magnoli for my jacket and we do not get to see enough pics of them.
I wonder how it compares to Tony's jackets?

Re: My New Magnoli
I agree that there's not enough Magnoli pics to go around so be sure to post a lot of them. I'm thinking about a Magnoli in the future (Temple) so I'm very interested in your impressions.
Re: My New Magnoli
Stringer, can you specify to Mag how much 'distressing' you want on his jackets ?...I argee there's not enough of them pictured here.....his other offerings are top quality......
Re: My New Magnoli
I asked for the collar to be slightly longer, similar to Holt's cut, and i think i got a good length
You'll see here that the yolk and back panel -and the sliders- are not 100% SA, but i'm not really bothered by such 'minor' details when the rest of the jacket has gotten the spirit of the whole thing just right for me.
Heres the pockets i was talking about. Again, not SA bur soooooooo practical. I'm sure Mags can do SA id asked.
Below are a couple of me wearing it. Its too tricky to use an iphone for the kind of 'in use' shots that you guys normally post, but i just wanted to give you an idea of how it looked in different lighting and the creasing on it.
Its always difficult to get the colour across in photo's. For me today its had the look of the dark and dusty jacket we see as the camera looks down on Indy just before Belloq seals him in the well of souls. Which is perfect for me, that's one of my ideal glimpses of the jacket.

Re: My New Magnoli
Mag's pretty amenable, though i dont know how many 'levels' of dstress are optional. For mine i just asked for it to have the brand new shine taken off it, and i want to wear it in naturally aside from that. You'll see how that turned out when i get my pics up.Hatch wrote:Stringer, can you specify to Mag how much 'distressing' you want on his jackets ?....
Three actually. There's one standard sized pocket on each side (one zippered) and one slightly smaller one perfect for my iphone. Not SA, but perfect for a wearable jacket. I'm sure folks wanting pure SA could specify how they wanted their pockets.RCSignals wrote: It has two inside pockets?

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
BEAUTIFULL jacket. Magnolis garments are TOP shelf.
very good SA level. These are the first pictures I have seen of the Magnoli's raiders after I gave him afew pointers to get his jacket even more SA. By these pictures I can see it payed of.
Congrats

Another thing. I know that 'popping the collar' became a bit of an issue after Tony's jacket entered the scene. This collar pops beautifuly. Oh man.

Stringer, are the inside pockets something you asked for or are they standard?
Certainly a functional addition.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
Ditto that. I have two Magnoli jackets, and one isn't even a true Indy style. Both have the same inner pocket arrangement.Stringer wrote:They're standard as far as i know. i didnt ask for them, so they must be.RCSignals wrote:Stringer, are the inside pockets something you asked for or are they standard?
Now, is that his washed lamb or regular?
It's nice to have another Magnoli fan around.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
Jacket looks okay but those short pocket flaps ruin the overall look a bit.
You should try to stretch out the leather a bit of the flaps.
Just my opinion.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
Yes, very nice but I agree with Orb a bit. The pocket flaps seem a little small and therefore make the entire pocket look huge. But that might be the look you're after so... It looks very well made.
Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
I agree that I'd stretch those flaps a bit. Does the sleeve seam align with the yoke seam?
Otherwise, it really has that Indy vibe and, I know from my Magnoli (non-Indy) that it is a beatifully made jacket!

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
hey guys,
The pockets were to my measurements, they're measured to be useful to what i use them for, holding my paperback books etc. The pockets on standard Mag would be sized differentey, i'm sure.
Wait time....ummmm i'll check my emails...
(... does this in real time....)
About nine weeks from paid to worn.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
Not only do those pockets look like the ones I have, they look just like my Wested pockets, too. And a lot of other pocket's I've seen. I think your mind is playing tricks on itself if you see something wrong with those pockets. Or if you don't see something wrong with everyone else's pockets, too. Depending on where you stand.
Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
I'm not all that fond of most Wested pocket flaps I've seen either. Although they have been getting better in the past year. Mine totally ****. But as the man says, he chose this look so it's perfectly fine. Mag makes a fine looking jacket.Chewbacca Jones wrote:Not only do those pockets look like the ones I have, they look just like my Wested pockets, too. And a lot of other pocket's I've seen.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
about the pockets....
You're both sort of right. I gave my own specs. It was basically that i took a look at the pockets of my wested, and i looked at specus used on here by holt and (one other, i forget, sorry), and then came up with a size that worked and that would also carry the things i like to have with me.
So they are a little wider and deeper than the standard wested. At the same time, my wested is a 38, and the Mag is a larger size, so the pockets should be scaled up anyway. So they are larger than normal, but only by a matter of milimetres.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
If they're to your specs, then all that matters are that you like them and they're functional for you. Sounds like you got exactly what you wanted so enjoy that great jacket.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
I have the magnoli tofd. The vent is not correct on my jacket. But I have spoken to Tony alot via email and such. and he has told me that the vent/pleat is fixed to the correct way.
all other details are in place. The cut is spot on.. The jacket is VERY SA.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
Thanks for clearing that up Geert,.....so Holt you're saying your vent is 'wrong' but the ones he's turning out now are 'correct'..........have you posted any pics of yours or did I miss them ?..........Has anyone else gotten a 'correct' TOD from Magnoli ?....would love to see some pics .....
Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
I got the Magnoli temple jacket last year. so I guess you have missed it... the ones that are sent out now should have the correct vent/pleat configuration..
But I cant use it anymore... I have grown since....
This is the only picture I got for now...

I see that your Magnoli TOD has the incorrect collar stand - not extending to be part of the storm flap. Has Mag fixed that?

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
yes. He should have fixed that by now. I pointed it out to him and he said 'fixed'
Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
hey guys
not been by in awhile. Ig thee are any specific photo requests, let me know.
The jacket has been a massive hit. It's picked up all the creases and character that we look for. I'm not looking to open any old wounds, but i do think the lamb Mag uses is the key to the screen look, it has all the roughness and creases on see on screen in raiders without being shrunken lamb, and is only slightly thicker and tougher than my wested.
I have to say this thing is earning it's keep. First weekend out of the box i took it abroad with me as my only coat. It survived a weekend of boats, trains, sunshine, rain and Springsteen in Dublin. It's a great jacket.

Re: My New Magnoli NOW WITH PICS.
It sounds like you are having a great time with your jacket. Isn't that what this hobby/obsession is all about. I will get one (Magnoli Raider) hopefully soon. Just a need to sell a few mopre houses...
Could you get some nice pics of you with the jacket on. Not that the other ones you posted were bad, it's just hard to get pictures of yourself, usually. You know the regular...front, back, sides, partly zipped, pocket flaps, three-quarter front, three quarter back. Oh and sliders.
What sliders are Magnoli using these days?
I wonder if he has made any adjustments to his jackets since the Nowaks came out; anyone know?
On a more general note... Maybe we should come up with a template of some kind for reviews (or maybe more like guidelines ) so we can kind of have an even keel on reviews. Nothing fancy, just something that could help standardize which pictures to post or what kind of things to include. I don't know...
