Well, actually, that probably so9unds like I've gotten ahold of an actual screen used jacket-ok, it's not THAT cool. But, it IS pretty cool....

What I've got is my Wested Raiders jacket that was featured in the European Lucasfilm mabazine celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Raiders. They did an interview with Peter Botwright of Wested Leather and in the interview, he used some pictures of my jacket to illustrate the particulars of the jacket.

Other than that, it comes with original COA, with the following specs-

Distressed cowhide
44R
cotton body
satin sleeves
21" shoulders
24.75" sleeves
zippered left inside pocket-LC size

And the jacket LOOKS fantastic. Lining is in perfect condition, the body has some distressing, but every bit of it just adds to the authentically "adventured" look of it.

It really is in brand new condition, even though I've owned it a couple of years-Michaelson and Indiana Joe can vouch for its condition-they've both seen it. So, since it is TRULY a piece of cinematic history-made by Peter (and let's face it, there are only SO many more jacket's he's going to make-and this one WAS made by HIM-not one of his machinists) and featured in Lucasfilm magazine, I'm looking to at LEAST get out of it what I paid-250.00 plus shipping, but that is as LOW as I'll go. However, if anyone wants to offer me MORE, I'll certainly take it-I guess what I'm saying is, I'm going to give this a week. The person who offers me the most for it will get it, a copy of the magazine, the COA, all the original packaging, and the chance to own a ONE of a KIND piece!

Ok....email me for more info or more questions.
Later!

Thisis truly a one of a kind jacket. I thought the sleeves were longer, Dawg. ...must not be....Oh, Dale, of COURSE you're not chopped liver. Your jacket just isn't for sale. (grins) Regards. Michaelson

I got scared there for a second.

I thought Michaelson had switched from Pecards to chopped liver.

Maybe it would work...hmmm... although then you wouldn't be able to leave either your hat OR your jacket near a cat.

Hummm. Do you think that's why we've had a rash of feline attacks on folks gear lately? (grins) Regards. Michaelson

Yeah, I've got pics-

But you'll have to email me for them.

And yeah, Michaelson, the sleeves WERE longer, by two inches...I double checked and they are 24.75".

And he's right, Dale-NOTHING wrong with YOUR jacket, but yours isn't for sale!!

If I'm going to get any offers on it, You need to hurry-I have an offer to trade for something that I'm considering, so if you want to buy it, let me know!

Later!

I THOUGHT it was. Where we pretty much wear the same size, that sleeve length would almost be a short sleeve shirt for the two of us! :shock: No way you'd be happy with that one all this time. Regards. Michaelson

LOL...

True, true... It's not for sale. I outgrew the sleeves, which is why I had to order another jacket. Plus, I did a horrible 20-minute sandpaper distressing before I went to California last year, which was none too flattering compared to what I was able to do with my Last Crusade jacket.
