I was doing a search of the net looking for A2's when I ran across this site and while browseing I noticed they offer a goatskin Indy and wondered if anyone here had ever dealt with them.

Never heard of it. It looks as though the side strap is buckled and not rings. Hard to tell from the picture. I wonder if they charge more for a custom. And it's only small, medium, large, etc. Nice looking though.

Yeah not saying I would buy from them. It's just I've only heard mention of Wested, US Wings and FS around here so my curiosity was piqued when I stumbled across them.

Every once in awhile some company comes up with an Indy jacket or a close copy. Cabelas offers one now too with a few differences. I imagine about the time Indy 4 comes along there will be many companies trying to cash in on the craze. This one that you found seems to be a very good replica.

Without dredging up all the past, I'd recommend steering clear of FlightJacket. They have a pretty shady past, and the Indy jacket they make isn't all that correct. _ once had one, and though a nice jacket, just not correct detail wise at all, considering the price they charge. Regards. Michaelson

This is the best place to be for info on all Indy Gear! Is there anything out there that someone on this forum hasn't seen? I doubt it.

Thanks for the info Michaelson. As I said it was more curiosity than anything else as I had never heard them mentioned before. As for jackets I am quite happy with my Wested so no I won't be buying from them anytime soon.
