oh, I'm getting it from wested. it's my jacket gift from my wife. originally I was going to order a LC jacket but I am sourcing a SA lining that may take a while to get here pluss I am retouching my LC specs. so I decided to wait.
Cool!! Are you sticking with your Raiders spec and just changing the leather?
To me the WOS jacket look really light and almost rubbery, similar to the start of the idol grab scene but with a richer dark brown colour.....I'd really love one like that...perfect for summer wear..
.....Or buy a buy a dark seal or black jacket. My point is just to throw caution to the wind and buy whatever jacket color that pleases you. You can’t get too technical with trying to match color, as has been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over.
It just becomes like chasing you tail. I realize that the fun for many is chasing their tail, and there’s nothing wrong with it. I’m just stating an alterative mind set for those that might happen upon the thread, and might appreciate the alternate view. Not everyone will appreciate the view I realize. That’s cool…..

I knew what your point was...Was just messin' I do appreciate your point..Sir.. ...There's just something about the jacket (and hat) from that scene, whether it be the lighting or just the way it was distressed...I dunno...I've just always loved that look..If Holt thinks he's bottled it, then I wanna see.

Very good. I was messin' too. It's sometimes hard to tell with tone. I was only trying to come off as a wisenhiemer-jerk, not a full blown "jerk" jerk. lol
I love the look of the jacket (and hat!) here but this was always the one scene I really don't care for in what is one of my favorite films of all time. I find that upon every viewing, from the time Indy and Marion hit the floor of the Well Of Souls I can't wait for this scene to be over and get on to the next...
I know this is a little off the beaten path, but this really exemplifies one of my favorite Raiders Jacket looks...with the "sunroof" open, that brown comes shining through!
I think it's the lighting. The Well of the Souls, and Raven Bar are my two favorite scenes from the movie, and to my eyes the jacket, even the fedora, look very much alike save the effect of the lighting (and dust!). I think what we need is a thread in which someone is able to take one jacket and subject it to numerous lighting situation to illustrate the difference lighting alone can have on the color of one jacket.

I would very much like to see the results of such a thread, as would many others I think.
I do appreciate your point..Sir..
