I stumbled on this while following a lead to a flightsuit: http://www.cockpitusa.com/store/Vintage ... acket.html Is it just a US Wings jacket??

Nah, This one's been around a while. I'd really like to see one in person though.

I figured as such. That's what I get for being scarce these days

Well. If it makes you feel any better. This is the first time I had seen it. So, at least you are not alone

! Interesting site. Kind of pricey, but interesting. Thanks for sharing. W>

There's a post about it here somewhere, was it Castor D who got one?

Remember this kind of jacket is a like many other traditional working utility jackets from the 1940's 50's.

Funny you should mention that.....when I read the description on the site I thought "hmm I've never seen the guys over at COW mention Indy's jacket as an oil-diggers jacket?" That was the first time I've seen that sentiment.

YOWZA! The price has skyrocketed since I last saw that link!

Here are a couple old threads on this jacket:

I actually like the half-belt design better than the typical Indy back.

I LOVE the half belts and I think they were much more prevalent during the time that the movies are set in. That's why I've chosen one (not this one) for my period accurate adventurer gear...

The oil driller is nice. for an off the rack jacket. But not cheap.
I just got my Aero 50's Half Belt Deluxe from Scotland (in person) and its incredible.

Aero Oil-Pull FQHH
RAF fur collar (removable)
Chisholm Hunting Modern Tartan lining.
Corduroy lined pockets, heavy cotton drill in sleeves.
Love this jacket

. Thanks for allowing me to share here.

LOVE IT!!!!! I could totally see Indy or an adventurer of that era wearing that.

Posted: **Sat Dec 03, 2011 8:37 pm**

That is one gorgeous jacket! I've been wanting an Aero A2 for a long time now.

Very nice! ... ideal for the (Northern hemisphere) season upon us. That would keep you cozy and unscratched even if you were dragged behind Santa's sleigh!

So what do you have in this vein?

That is a sweet looking jacket. I really dig the nice short length to the waist. Man, I wish my Legend was that short. Don't forget to post some pics when it arrives.

Posted: **Mon Dec 05, 2011 7:52 am**

<Nods>

Yup...I demand photos when it arrives!

............I mean, I demand photos please

Posted: **Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:02 pm**

I'll do it gentlemen!

Posted: **Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:18 pm**

Cool stuff! Looks like you found someone to manufacture that half belt you've been after. Can't wait to see this!

Posted: **Mon Dec 05, 2011 5:26 pm**

Actually this was completely independent of that pipe dream that Dawg and I were chasing. Rick over at filmjackets.com (rick5150 here) did it almost exactly as we had talked about and did an AWESOME job! He's also doing Indy jackets. Check 'em out!

Posted: **Mon Dec 05, 2011 5:27 pm**

Oh and Forrest...I'll still be glad to buy that Hercules off of you for a buck or two!

Posted: **Mon Dec 05, 2011 5:34 pm**

That Aero is super sweet!
