WHICH JACKET MAKER IS BEST FOR LC STYLE???

[indiana tako]

I'm a first-time jacket buyer and I'm looking for Last Crusade style jacket. I only get one shot at this and I want to make it perfect. I was going to get a wested leather jacket but I just read a lot of horror stories on a different post.

I'm asking for everyone's opinion.
Which company would be the best company to buy a Last Crusade style jacket from?

Help me Club Obi-Wan. You're my only hope!!!

Using the same readings as you, the general consensus seems to be S&J right out of the gate, followed closely by Kelso and Magnoli.

Just depends on how deep your pockets are.

Good luck!

As M stated, at the moment, Diego for the LC and either BK or S&J for the Raiders jacket.

Who all makes a LC jacket at the moment?

Wested (Though isn't theirs a LC/CS hybrid?)
S&J
Magnoli(?)
Anyone else?

Seems like there are a lot more options for the Raiders jacket.

If you ONLY have one shot at this and want to get it done right, I would vote Diego of Steel & Jones. Their very good at getting the size pinned down, their LC jacket is EXCELLENT. Great leather and from experience they have the best customer service I've dealt with. Can't go wrong with them. Good luck on who ever you choose.


And yes the Wested LC is a hybrid. It's a nice jacket that definitely has a nice LC style to it.
But if you want a proper LC with all the bells and whistles, then you gotta go custom. Which means researching the LC jackets finer points. If this the way you want to go I would recommend going though the LC threads here on COW. And do not purchase a jacket until your SURE about your size and the specs you want. Otherwise you won't be pleased with the results.

Which is why I recommend S&J. It's just less of a headache.

I know that Magnoli makes styles to match all four. I have never seen an S&J in person, so I can't comment. But Magnoli jackets are top notch in every way.
