I bought a Wested Raiders jacket a while back.
I just bought the US Wings Antique Cow and absolutely love it.
I left the snaps on because it was suggested that this jacket would make a nice Last Crusade jacket.
I am loving the New Zealand Lamb jacket and I am wondering if this one would make a good Raiders jacket that I would get without the snaps or would I get it with snaps and I would have 2 Last Crusade Jackets.
Also what about the Striated Lamb or Calf jackets?
Is there going to be any difference between the jackets?
I want a nice Raiders style jacket.
At this rate I will have 4 nice Last Crusade jackets.
Any advice on the jackets?
Also any TOD style jackets in the future?
Thanks

Now for the rest of the story...Take the snaps off and adjust the yoke and it is a dead ringer for the Raiders... All I did was take Neils Pattern and a Indy Jacket he gave me in 1986 and made a very few little changes for the open Market I did this on the Indy Hero Cow and used the same pattern for the Indy Hero Lightweight Lamb I and Neil Cooper will be making all four of them to spec. along with Indy Holt.. Our number one will be made out of Calf and it will be the Raiders by Neil Cooper and US Wings Inc.

Now will this new Raiders jacket by Neil Cooper and US Wings Inc. be a replica of the screen jacket (details and all; like the Nowak jackets) or will it be with the modifications etc that we see on the current Wings jackets? Just wondering... cause if its a screen replica, I'll be down as long as sizing fits my 38" chest with 26" arms and a short back and longer 23" storm flap Any info is appreciated.

It will be the same Pattern as what Neil Cooper made and supplied George Lucas when the Raiders Movie was made! The Jacket will be made by Neil Cooper out of the US Wings Inc. Factory with a letter of Authenticity sign by Neil Cooper.

I will answer both questions.. I will keep the price for COW members for at least a year ! Yes you can order them now without snaps...However I am making them and it takes at least 21 days ! You know Who wanted snaps .. Not me.. But how could I say no to my good friend M.
In three weeks or so I will have them without snaps and BTW longs also.
Oh this Jacket really brings out your Personality !!
Sarge
Hey Sarge, what is the production level like for the sizes? I'm interested in getting a XL long and was wondering if you run out of stock within the year, will you make more and restock it or will that be it? Thanks, you're the best!

I just changed my mind on my next jacket purchase. I am still anxiously awaiting the New Zealand lamb jacket that should arrive tomorrow, UPS called today to confirm delivery. Pics will be posted tomorrow.
If US Wings and Neil Cooper are going to offer the Raiders jacket as Sarge describes this could be "THE JACKET."

That's SO COOL! Ok, NOW I'm excited about this - I've wanted a super=accurate ToD for ages.
So just to clarify, does this mean that we'll finally have a completely screen accurate TEMPLE OF DOOM jacket without any mods, and WITH the right hardware?
Holt, what role are you playing in this awesome turn of events?

Sarge
Ah! Seems I didn't read the whole thread properly. Very good then!
Maybe Holt could at last reveal his mystery source for his Last Crusade jacket specs too...
Thought I'd start a new thread for questions on the upcoming USWings jackets. There were a couple of big announcements in the NZ Lamb thread that have me almost apoplectic and confused (not a good combination). Where to start. O.k. so new jackets will be released to cover all 4 movie jackets? Including a TOD? AND a RTL that will be made in calf from Neil Cooper's original patterns?
O.k. I've roasted some Guatemala Fraijanes to a nice Full City+ and will have it at the ready.....
I think this thread is a good idea, as the majority of that other thread already has nothing to do with it's subject. I don't question too much, as it seems one of the new offerings is going to be perfect for me as is And to be honest, I myself can't quite answer the question you've posted, because I'm unsure myself. Maybe this thread can turn into THE thread for the new fall line-up

Sarge,
So are you saying that I could buy the new zealand jacket now without the snaps to use as a raiders jacket. Then you will be making the new jackets and they will have no snaps and the yoke will be fixed on them. Then I can buy the new raiders jacket in calf. I don't want to keep buying jackets if I don't have to. Even though I probably will since they are beautiful jackets.

Just to make things clear... We came out with the Indy Hero Cow!! Very well received world wide We also have the Indy Hero Lamb again very well received world wide Now comes the rest of the story.. Neil Cooper and US Wings are making all four Indiana Jones Jackets from each movie 100 % accurate.
US Wings and Neil Cooper together have been making Indy Style Jackets since 1985 for the world market.. before that Neil Cooper under contract with George Lucas did make the Indiana Jones Jackets for the First Indy Movie.. Michaelson has been telling this to all the Fans for years.. Hello!!! Now we will realease the Neil Cooper line. 100 % accurate.Neil and I have always been there together....The fuuny thing over the years all of US Wings Jackets have been Neils Patterns.. Neil and I just changed them a little for the world market!!
Michaelson talked me into making all four Indy Jones Jackets by Neil Cooper with the help of IndyDawg and Indiana Holt... Like the Hero line.. COW members will come first.

I am now making the Hero Cow and Hero Lightweight Lamb without snaps plus I am making them in longs.. about 21 days out.. At no extra charge! The Neil Cooper Raiders Calf will be the first of four jackets made for each Indiana Jones Movie.. Per request of Indiana Holt they will be called Indy Jackets 123and 4.
BTW the Indy Hero Line is Neil Coopers pattern with a few little changes for the world market and yes the pattern is from the the Raiders .. with street changes. the 123and 4 will not have any changes and 100 % to each Indiana Jones Movie.
Sarge
I can tell that this IS a raiders cut. you can just tell from my pictures. it fits just like the raiders fits on Ford.
now, with the snaps and the 'Last Crusade collarstand' pluss the BIG collar mixed with the low yoke, D-rings, chunky pocket flaps, perfect LC straps and all that cut in this warm brown naked cowhide, this turns into an Last Crusade jacket instantley. the 'body cut' is still raiders but with those mentioned features it becomes an LC without a doubt!

No question about it Kentucky Blues... It will be a Fall release with no outside changes to each pattern what so ever. Indiana Holt will give the releases dates after each jacket is made By Neil Cooper!
Neil Cooper will have the final word on each release date pattern and Price ! Neil Cooper LLC and US Wings Inc. will be a 50 50 Partnership.

Wow sarge maybe you should sell a package deal with all four Indy jackets!? I'm not saying give us a bigger discount but maybe where we can just pay ahead for all jackets when there done they ship out to us? Just a thought not telling you what to do just thinking out loud. Love these new jackets!

Oh there is no doubt in my Military mind I will make sure all the COW members are taken care of... "There will be no over priced Jackets sold to COW members."
Now for some other good news.. We are now making XS in the Hero Cow and Hero Lightweight Lamb with and M. hear this.. Without snaps... Should have them in hand in about 21 days.( per request of Indy Holt !)

Not as much as you think and that is for sure!!Neil knows how I feel about COW members.. M. Indy Dawg and Indy Holt will set the price for COW members.
Really these jackets are for the Fans and they will be Screen Accurate and US Wings Nor Neil Cooper will take advantage of any customer and you have my word on that one!

Sarge, do you know what hides will be released for each movie's jacket? Would it be only one hide or more than one per movie?
I believe thats the idea, zane. We''ll have two leathers to choose from, or two leathers to enjoy (depending on whether you can stop at one jacket ). I'm looking forward to calfskin myself
