Hey Guys.

So sorry and sincere apologies if this has in fact been covered. However, is the Jacket Ford is wearing inside the temple in Raiders one of the stunt jackets and NOT the Hero?
If it is one of the stunt jackets, is that what the G&B Expedition is based off of? It's my favorite scene with the Jacket.

Again, Apologies if this has been covered before, I haven't posted in a while, But my son has got me on an Indy Kick!

Regards,

If you mean a stunt jacket like the one Terry Leonard wears for the truck stunt, I'd say [REDACTED].

Compare the temple jacket...



I know there's a better picture of the pleat as Indy runs through the darts, but I can't pinpoint the thread.

The TL stunt jacket had action pleats. He was wearing protective gear underneath the shirt.

Thank you! I was starting to think I was the only one who could see that!

As for what the G&B is based on... I'll leave that to others more well versed.

Dangit, I knew I should have left this to more knowledgable members.

Well, someone needs to revise their jacket narrative, because I know I've read the "no pleats" story in at least one place.

I think those are actually gussets, and not just pleats. In fact, you can even order a jacket from Wested with the gussets.
Does Peter still frequent the board? He'd know for sure what they are.

The stunt jacket that the G&B was based on had the arm seams and the yoke seam lined up, unlike the temple jacket (even though the G&B production jackets aren't lined up)
