Yes! Like! Doesn't seem quite as weathered as the screen version, but maybe that's just the light. I like it, nonetheless. I haven't weathered my special-order LC cowhide yet cause I'm a-sceared... :[
Nice job!

Based on the pictures, it has a natural distressing feel to it, as opposed to the "pinstripe" over distressing of most LC jackets I've seen. Well done!

Thanks bud.

it was what I was aiming at. I mean, I always loved the fake distressing of the LC jacket but I wanted to slightly upgrade it to a more natural feel but still have the look of the real one.

Well put, agree totally. Lovely job. Great pockets too! I prefer it to the Smithsonian jacket.

Like it! I have always wanted to handle a HH Indy jacket... :-k And yes, when it comes to leather distressing less is more!!! I wish they had taken that into account with the LC.

I just got my baby back from the tailors shop.

I asked if they could reinforce the jacket from the inside. pluss touching up some stitching areas on the outside. like the flaps, shoulders, etc. I wanted this jacket to be even tougher, in case I wanted to be dragged by a truck ;) anyways, they removed the lining and looked at it to see if they could work with it and they could. I got her back yesterday and they did a very fine job on it.

now I have to remove the tags in it to make it more Indy/film like.

I really missed this jacket, I can't wait to start wearing her agian!

once I get all my LC gear I'll do a few outside photos.

... Or in this case, dragged by a tank

Maybe a dumb question but I'm interested in replacing my Todd's raiders jacket with a more durable Wested LC like this. Is this Jacket Goat, Lamb or the pre-distressed hyde?

Jacket looks great! :)

Cowhide or horsehide has been the report to date.
