I bet none of you knew this:

"The piece de resistance is the leather jacket, from Belstaff - which made the actual jacket in the film for Harrison Ford"

Pulled from this retarded article:

I found it funny, had to share.

Gotta' love the Belstaff logo on the arm!

Those are some sweet belts!

wow...maybe i'm trying too hard to have my gear "right"...nobody knows it or appreciates it other than gearheads. most people reading that mag probably go, "hey, that looks just like him"

Hey, that looks just like him!

...And by "him", I mean Steve Carell as Indy.

uuuuugggggggghhhhhh...it's almost painful

Very tacky, though I have to admit, I can understand why people passing by would have believed him to look like Indiana Jones. The fedora, the leather jacket with the logo, the color of the shirt, and the pants... it's all wrong, and not screen accurate by any means. It does kind of channel the "look," overall, though, I mean you have to admit...

Belstaff had that claim on their web site at one time for both the Indy and Mutt jackets.

Some fell for it I guess

Ya just gotta love that dime store whip they use to sell such an expensive jacket.

I was in the Belstaff store near Saville Row and didn't see it there!

All claims aside, I think it looks like a nice jacket. A little stiff perhaps, but the color is great. What sort of money would such a jacket sell for?

$1200 + ?

I wonder if he has any relation to Clive Owen- looks just like him

I wonder how people have actually bought the Belstaff since it came out?

Some old discussions on the Belstaff, Check it out this thread... viewtopic.php?t=27631

Wow....um. That just kinda......stupid. I mean paying that much for a jacket that looks like it, sure, EXCEPT FOR THE STUPID LOGO!!! Not to mention you can get a Wested for 300 or less and a Nowak for 700 or so.....and get the REAL thing. without the Logo.

I think the logo on the arm irritates me more then the claim or the pic.....

Well played sir.

Bink, my Dad had that T-shirt about twenty years ago...he was very proud of it. Thanks for the memory!
